Performance Excellence
Thanks to the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface and optimized firmware, the Crucial P3 dramatically reduces wait times—whether you're booting your OS, launching games, or transferring large video or design files. With read speeds reaching up to 3 500 MB/s and write speeds up to ~3 000 MB/s (on larger capacities), it outpaces many SATA-based SSDs by a wide margin.
User Experience & Comfort
Installation is simple: just plug the M.2 2280 module into a compatible M.2 slot (PCIe 3.0 x4) on your motherboard, secure with the mounting screw, and you're ready. With no bulky power or data cables, it keeps your build clean, and its efficient thermal design keeps it running cool under typical loads.
Design & Build Quality
The Crucial P3 uses a single-sided M.2 module design, making it well suited even for ultra-thin laptops. Its minimal profile reduces the chance of heat build-up, and being built by Micron’s manufacturing arm gives added confidence in long-term durability and reliability.
Connectivity & Compatibility
- M.2 2280 form-factor slot (PCIe 3.0 x4)
- Backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards
- Software support via Crucial’s Storage Executive & free Acronis cloning tool

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this SSD work in my older desktop with an M.2 slot?
A: Yes—if your motherboard has an M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drives, the Crucial P3 will be compatible. Always check your motherboard manual to confirm the slot supports NVMe and not only SATA M.2.
Q: Does the capacity (500 GB / 1 TB / 2 TB ) affect performance?
A: Yes—while all variants share the same interface and flash technology, larger capacities (1 TB and up) often provide higher write speeds and better endurance ratings compared to the 500 GB model.
