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

Sequential read and write performance, File copy performance, Good power efficiency, Black PCB,
Lower than average application performance, Low endurance
The Crucial P1's comparatively high pricing and low application performance make it hard to recommend over the Intel 660p or higher-performing NVMe SSDs like the ADATA XPG SX8200...
Abstract: NVMe SSDs are finally going mainstream, and the days of having only one or two choices are happily behind us. With more than a dozen NVMe drives now released, including some that successfully flirt with budget pricing, if you have a system that supports N...
If I were to answer the question at the beginning, I have to say the Crucial P1 1TB is a jack of all trades SSD, combining a performance that is respective of its price, but this is not a bad thing in this case. From the start of our benchmarks, you would...
Abstract: I regularly end bargain TLC SSD reviews with the advice “Don't buy it unless it's a lot cheaper than the competition.” Until Crucial's P1, no drive ever met that criteria. But the 17 cents per GB that the 1TB version will set you back is a good 8 cents ch...

It's great that Crucial have joined the NVMe fray in order to increase the competition, drive costs down and more importantly offer end-users an affordable drive with impressive read and write speeds. Although there are other NVMe's on the market which ar...
Abstract: They are certainly not new in the storage and memory market (check out our coverage on the Crucial 2.5″ SATA MX500 SSD and the Ballistix Elite DDR4 that I still have running inside my gaming PC at the moment).The P1 features Micron's leading-edge QLC (Qua...
Crucial's SSDs have always been priced competitively compared to the other similar products in the market, and when it comes to the P1 NVMe M.2, it's no exception.First, aesthetics matters a lot today, especially when it comes to RGB lighting and tempered...
Instead of buying a new computer, if your hardware supports it, using the Crucial P1 is an excellent way to upgrade its performance. With immediate boosts in speed, you'll seamlessly be able to perform a variety of tasks. Lags and slow application loads c...

Abstract: Not all solid-state drives are built equal, and not all M.2 solid state drives are built equal, either. Crucial's P1 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD's promise to revolutionise PC storage transfer speed. FutureFive's Darren Price checks it out.The relatively new M.2 for...
