Crucial P3 NVMe PCIe 3.0 M.2 Internal 500GB SSD

The Crucial CT500P3SSD8 is an NVMe solid state drive that brings a noticeable boost in speed to desktops, laptops, and small-form-factor systems equipped with an M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 slot. With 500GB of storage, it gives you room for your operating system, frequently used applications, and a healthy library of games or project files.

Read speeds reach up to 3500 MB per second, and write speeds climb to 1900 MB per second, so large files move quickly and your software launches without lag. Whether you are editing high-resolution photos, running virtual machines for coding, or loading expansive game worlds, the drive keeps wait times low and productivity high.

Micron 176-layer 3D NAND technology underpins the drive’s consistent performance and durability. A 1.5 million-hour MTTF rating, along with dynamic write acceleration, error-correcting code, TRIM support, and SMART monitoring, helps protect your data and maintain speed throughout years of daily use.

Installation is straightforward: slide the drive into an available M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot, secure it with a single screw, and format it in your operating system. Its slim, lightweight build adds virtually no bulk, making it an easy upgrade for thin laptops or compact home-built rigs that cannot spare extra space for larger storage devices.
