Sammy still faster
Kinda
Starts thermal throttling quickly
When heavily loaded
Very low write speeds when pSLC cache exhausted
Thermal reporting inaccurate
Low Write Speeds
Lacking Hardware Encryption
Crucial's SSDs have always been competitively priced compared to the competition and the P1 is no exception. At $220
The P1 1TB costs about $60 less than the 970 EVO 1TB which retails for $280. Sure
The 97
Nothing worth to mention
Write speed drops when SLC cache is full
Does not support hardware based encryption
Thermal Throttling (Although Not Very Evident In Our Review)
SLC Cache Algorithms (Performance Largely Dependant On Free Space)
Lower than average application performance
Low endurance
Ho-hum sequential-write benchmark speeds at tested size
Low endurance rating
Though competitive warranty length
No heat spreader
Sustained write speed plummets after secondary cache is exhausted
500MB version writes half as fast as the 1TB
Middling Sequential Transfers
Relatively Low Endurance Rating
Dramatic drop in write performance with sustained writes

As this review is being written, the Crucial P1 1TB is $105 on Amazon. This price is, coincidentally, the exact same price as the Crucial P2 1TB, the Intel 665p 1TB, and the WD Blue SN550 1TB. At those prices, I would continue to recommend the WD Blue SN5...

Abstract: Under the hoods of the newest, skinniest laptops (and in the hollows of the latest desktop-PC motherboards), solid-state storage has undergone a transformation. Even if you're a close observer of all things tech, it's understandable if you didn't even rea...
The Crucial P1 series might be aimed at entry-level systems, but the performance offered is still better than SATA III SSDs. We were able to reach the 1TB models rated peak speeds of 2000 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write in CrystalDiskMark 7 without issue. W...

The 1TB version of the P1 NVMe SSD definitely offers more performance versus the 500GB model, and can keep the write speeds up for even longer, thanks to more SLC buffer (12GB versus 5GB on the 500GB drive). The increased DDR3 buffer also seems to come in...
Crucial P1 Solid State Drives - Find Them At AmazonThe Crucial P1 can currently be found for about $69 and $125 for the 500GB and 1TB models, respectively (or about $0.12 - $0.13 per GiB). At those prices, the Crucial P1 is among the most affordable NVMe-...

Good cost-per-gigabyte ratio for a PCI Express M.2 drive, Polished software management suite,
Ho-hum sequential-write benchmark speeds at tested size, Low endurance rating, though competitive warranty length, No heat spreader
Crucial's P1 is a cost-oriented QLC-memory-based M.2 SSD, the company's first PCI Express NVMe effort. The result is a pinch on performance—faster than SATA, slower than most PCIe drives—but one that may be a fair trade-off for budget-minded upgraders and...
Market-leading cost per gigabyte, Very good performance until cache runs out
Sustained write speed plummets after secondary cache is exhausted, 500MB version writes half as fast as the 1TB
This drive is very affordable. Stick with the 1TB version, whose performance is very good except during long writes (larger than about 4 percent of capacity). Not a drive for large data sets, but a great deal for the average user...

To say that Crucial' first NVMe M.2 SSD has been a long time in the making is an understatement. We had become very concerned, as had the rest of the industry. It is not the first iteration of a QLC SSD on the market, and in fact, the Intel 660P QLC NVMe...

Abstract: It wasn't that long ago when an SSD was for the diehard enthusiast, especially when you considered higher capacity drives. Near the end of 2016, a good 1 TB NVMe SSD could run you upwards of $600 USD. This made an NVMe M.2 SSD far more of a luxury item fo...
