Crucial P3 Plus
NVME · 2TB · Released May 25, 2022
QLC NAND and no DRAM cache keep the P3 Plus in mainstream territory, its Phison E21T controller delivering PCIe 4.0 speeds of 5,000/4,200 MB/s — well below the T700's Gen5 numbers but still roughly nine times the throughput of a SATA drive like Crucial's own BX500. A 440TB TBW rating trails both the T700's 1,200TB and the BX500's 720TB, the tradeoff for QLC density, though its five-year warranty matches the flagship. Positioned as a mainstream NVMe upgrade, it's aimed at everyday desktop and laptop tasks that stay comfortably inside its 440TB endurance budget over the five-year warranty.
