Comes with the screw! - Used primarily as external storage for backing up my music, speed isn't that essential for me, but it was nonetheless quick to transfer around 400GB, matching the good speeds others have mentioned here and didn't get too warm while doing so. It fitted easily into the external enclosure (I bought this one: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/dp/B0BGS3NZ4C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title ), was immediately recognised by my PC, then after initialising was ready to be loaded. It works well for my purpose, so with only small file transfers being carried out from now on I hope it will last a good length of time. Lastly, it comes packed with the all-important screw! Highly recommended if you've you've got a similar need to mine, though obviously it would be faster fitted as an internal drive. Review: Pretty good mid range NVME - As descripted getting the full speeds as told and such and have had no problems with this, other then installing it due to such a tiny screw. Like 0.2cm small i was scared of dropping it and well never finding it ever again, so be very careful. ## Features - NVMe (PCIe Gen3 x4) technology with up to 3500MB/s sequential reads, random read/write 350K/460K IOPS - Spacious storage up to 4TB - Performs up to 45% better than the previous generation - Solid Gen3 performance - Rated at MTTF greater than 1.5 million hours for extended longevity and reliability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B25LQQPC | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,155 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 101 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | Crucial BX500, Acronis True Image for Crucial cloning software and installation instructions | | Brand | Crucial | | Brand Name | Crucial | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 500 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Workstation | | Connectivity technology | PCIe | | Customer Package Type | Retail Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 10,473 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 3500 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Digital storage capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | Brass | | Form Factor | M2 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00649528918758 | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | PCIE x 4 | | Hard disk form factor | 2 Inches | | Hard disk interface | PCIE x 4 | | Hard-Drive Size | 500 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | ATA, PCI Express x4 | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 8L x 2.2W x 0.2Th centimetres | | Item Weight | 5.6 Grams | | Manufacturer | Crucial | | Manufacturer Part Number | CT500P3SSD8 | | Media Speed | 3500 Megabytes Per Second | | Model Name | CT500P3SSD8 | | Model Number | CT500P3SSD8 | | Network Connectivity Technology | PCIe | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | Limited 5-year Warranty | | Read Speed | 3500 Megabytes Per Second | | Special feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming, Multimedia, Personal | | UPC | 649528918758 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crucial - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Workstation - **Connectivity technology:** PCIe - **Digital storage capacity:** 500 GB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 2 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** PCIE x 4 - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nnZ+cziYL.jpg) ![Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZKe71w4NL.jpg) ![Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+JPmgpHWL.jpg) ![Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sNk+5ad1L.jpg) ![Crucial P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT500P3SSD8 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G4riMKgLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Capacity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this drive have any dram cache?** A: Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, this Crucial P3 CT1000P3SSD8 SSD doesn't have Dram Cache. **Q: Will this fit in a UGREEN USB-C to Dual M.2 b-key raid enclosure** A: If I'm getting right from your question. You have an M.2 enclosure, but this is NVMe drive. SO Answer is NO. You have to get M.2 drive for your enclosure or you have to get NVMe enclosure for this or other NVMe SSD (what would be better option in my opinion **Q: I have an old laptop (Acer Aspire R15) with a 2.5 hard disk and want to upgrade the disk to this. Will it work if I install it with an adapter?** A: Which particular model R15 have you got? **Q: I have two (4tb). runs at full speed on one pc and half speed on another. i believe this is because a pc is pce-e gen3 (x2) rather than gen3 (x4)?** A: Very probably. I would have a similar issue as the fast NVMe socket in my motherboard runs at gen3 x4 (with a high performing) CPU, whereas the 'standard' NVMe socket is tied to gen3 x2 (as the 'fast' socket also would be with a lower performant CPU). This kind of staggered spec. changeover is quite common, the market leaders usually try to get a jump by adding the latest toys before everything is fully ironed out and compliant through all components. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive, reasonably speedy storage for incremental backup purposes.
