Crucial P1 2TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD, up to 2000 MB/s - CT2000P1SSD8

Pros: Cheapest NVMe drive that I have found at the time of this writing. For this price, it is a very good NVMe entry level module. 62% of the price of a Samsung 970 Evo of the same capacity.

Cons: 57% of the performance of a Samsung 970 Evo of the same capacity. Uses QLC NAND memory. The absolute slowest and least resilient of all current flash memory.

Overall Review: Despite QLC memory having a lower TBW life expectancy and being the slowest of the bunch, this thing is still roughly 4 times faster than the average SATA 6gbps and will hold up just fine as an OS boot drive. It isn't some knockoff junk, Crucial is a good brand of memory of all types. As long as you don't plan to use it as a cache drive in Unraid or workspace in a video editing station, it should last years in normal use scenarios. TL;DR 4x as fast as SATA SSDs but slow compared to other NVMe modules. Cheapest NVMe on the market at this time. QLC flash will not last as long as ANY other type of flash memory. Name brand, good price for what it is.

Pros: Works exactly the way it should, and it is super fast.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: My only hangup on this is, my MB doesn't have a M.2 slot, so I bought a PCIe to M.2 adapter also, and was planning on using this drive as my main hard drive...but unfortunately my MB won't boot from PCIe...which I did NOT know before I bought this...so unfortunately, I had to install my OS on a regular solid state drive and I just use this as my "game storage". I can't fault Crucial for this, so they still get a 5 star rating for this item, but...just a warning to those who may be trying to do what I did, double check your BIOS and make sure that you can boot from PCIe beforehand.

Pros: 1.7GB Writes / 1.6GB Reads (synthetic) 250,000 random reads and writes Transferred 125GB in under 2 minutes from my other SSD (a 2x faster 970 EVO) including 6000 ~2.4mb files Was between 1.35 and 1.5GB/s on large file writes Never reached over 70C with no heat spreader, stayed under 70C while dumping the cache

Cons: Struggled considerably on smaller files: Takes 40 seconds to copy 6000 ~2,4GB files (375MB/s) to it (I can 7zip store these files from my EVO to the Crucial in less than 30s) Takes 50 seconds to copy 6000 ~2,4GB files (300MB/s) from it, takes 100 seconds from my RAID0 HDDs. My EVO is more than happy to do both at once so I think it's a limitation of the Crucial If I find any more, rest assured I will update this review

Overall Review: For VERY large file transfers, you will hit the limit of the SLC cache. It is very unlikely you will ever thermal throttle this drive assuming good circulation (mine is right next to the CPU fan so it was getting a nice blast of cool air, it would get hotter if I had high CPU load though)

Pros: - Fast - Fast! - Fast as "my windows boots in 12 seconds" fast. - Fast as "I had a SATA and moved directly to this one so I am still in love" fast

Cons: No cons so far. Again, too soon and too in love with this thing for an unbiased review!

Overall Review: I don't need the "ultra-power-ninja-gaiden-torpedo-monster" speed from some of the gazillion reviews you see online. For example, one of the reviews, states that for 30% of an "additional speed", there is one M.2 for double the price... and this 30% is when you use a specific benchmark or whatever. Don't need that. Everything works! It is fast and that is what I needed. Freaking 5 eggs for this one!!!

Pros: I bought this for a mid level Intel gaming machine. It's a perfect fit and the price has come down enough to make itf a decent buy. It works as advertised and is sufficiently fast to handle gaming.

Cons: So far none.

Overall Review: This is not a high level drive. I read the reviews and understand the longevity will perhaps be shorter but in daily use I cannot tell the difference between the Crucial drive and ther much more expensive Samsung 970 Pro I have in my main machine.

Pros: Works good, fairly fast, so far very reliable.

Cons: 1st one I received would not work, had to return and exchange for another one. 2nd one posted and is working great so far.

Overall Review: Very reasonable price, good performance, good buy for the price

Pros: Achieving speeds as advertised in an Asrock x370 pro

Cons: none

Overall Review: Had a hard time booting from this drive after cloning from a sata SSD. Was getting blue screen inaccessible boot device. Found the solution on crucial's forums. Basically you need to open device manager and delete all driver entries under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, reboot and you're ready to image / clone normally. This was using Macrium Reflect.

Pros: It’s fast

Cons: Temp goes abit high(64-68 C) during read/write. (44-49C) when idle or gaming which is good.

Overall Review: Worth it , hopefully it will last long despite the read/write temp.
