What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Reviewers described it as a solid secondary drive with good capacity options at an attractive price.
- It runs cool and is very power efficient, backed by a five-year warranty and Crucial's software.
- Owners call it strong value, reaching the rated PCIe 3.0 speeds for much less than premium drives.
- Owners report fast boots and quick game loads, and see little real-world gaming difference from a PCIe 4.0 drive.
- The five-year warranty and the included cloning software are recurring positives.
Commonly criticised
- It uses QLC NAND without a DRAM cache and carries low TBW endurance ratings.
- There are still performance pitfalls, particularly around sustained writes.
- Owners note its QLC NAND and missing DRAM cache bring lower sustained-write performance and endurance than TLC drives.
- Several owners report the drive runs warm under sustained writes and that no heatsink is included.
- Its write-endurance rating is seen as low next to rival drives at the same capacity.
