The editors didn't like
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

While not the fastest or most feature packed PCIe SSD to come through the 'Labs, the Crucial P1 offers a lot of bang for your buck. This compact, M.2 form factor SSD is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2263EN controller and is available with up to 2TB of Mic...

Judging by the transfer speeds, we are dealing with a decent mainstream SSD at quite low sale prices, thanks to the newer QLC technology. As we have seen before with TLC SSDs, the P1 does rely on the RAM cache and SLC cache for delivering higher read/writ...

Abstract: The solid state storage market is highly competitive, and it is also one that changes rapidly as the technology continues to evolve and prices fluctuate due to various factors. There are dozens of companies with multiple product lines that vie for dominan...
Abstract: Both the 500GB and 1TB models are single sided. The 2TB (not yet released) will likely have packages installed at the rear.No surprises with the packaging. Does the job just fine.Specs are also reasonably standard for an NVMe SSD at this point...
Very Good Overall Performance, Endurance Numbers (200TBW / 1.5 Million Hours MTTF), Crucial Storage Executive Software, 5 Years Limited Warranty, Available In 2TB, Price (For Some),
Thermal Throttling (Although Not Very Evident In Our Review), SLC Cache Algorithms (Performance Largely Dependant On Free Space),
The P1 SSD by Crucial may be their very first consumer oriented M.2 NVMe model to hit the market but they were actually planning to release another model last year which let's just say that it didn't live up to their expectations (performanc...
Taking in all of the performance testing it can get to be a little confusing, most people just like seeing overall read speed and maybe even write speed numbers and are happy with that. The sad truth is different load types on any drive will give diff...

The P1's run through IOMeter was fraught with missteps, but the drive handled the rest of the test suite with aplomb. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a baseline. To compare each drive, we then take the geometric mean...

Crucial's P1 SSD is a great choice for the consumer looking for an easy and affordable way to boost the performance and storage capacity of their desktop or notebook computer. This compact, M.2 form factor SSD is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2263EN contr...
There's one word to describe this Crucial's P1 NVMe PCIe SSD and that's “fast”. It performed just as you would expect in all benchmarks with the only little loss of performance in ATTO at the 8MB mark. This is quite common with some controllers and even a...
Good overall performance, Single-sided, Does not overheat, Price, 5 year warranty
Dramatic drop in write performance with sustained writes
Crucial has always been known for releasing good performing solid state drives at very competitive prices so it is no surprise their first consumer NVMe drive is one such drive. The mainstream NVMe market is probably the largest as most people are not dro...
