## Description

Buy

Review: Just the job! - I bought this SSD to use as "HyperCache" in our new TerraMaster NAS. Crucial SSDs are good quality and I have never had an issue with them. This one is not the quickest device available (being PCLe Gen 3.0), but is more than adequate for my needs (see my CrystalDiskMark screenshot). It's also very reasonably priced. I initially tested it in a USB caddy and it worked fine - albeit not at full speed due to the restrictions of the USB port (Gen 3) on my laptop. CrystalDiskInfo confirms this to be a new device with no errors. In my NAS, it does a great job - markedly improving responsiveness and transfer times. The NAS OS (Linux) shows it to be running well and at a reasonable temperature. With quick delivery too, I am rather chuffed 😀 😊
Review: Feels Like a new PC from the future - I'd been wanting an SSD for years but couldn't justify the cost of a 1gb drive. But when the prime sales came up it looked more agreeable. This is relatively easy to install and will fit into the M2 slot on your motherboard. Ignore the pci-e ports or it will be flapping in the wind ready to cause trouble. I did have to remove and refit my graphics card to fit this but that's no huge burden and is easier than faffing with sata cables and routing. You will have to carry out an initial format before use to prep the drive. Depending on your plans and what Operating system you are using / installing will depend on how it's done. I was using windows 10 so went to computer management> disc management and prepared new simple drive. After formatting I then did a clean install of Windows 11 from usb stick. If you are switching from a conventional HDD to SSD you will have to go into the bios and change your boot order and a few other settings (just search YouTube for the name of your motherboard and enable SSD). There are lots of guides available. There is quite a bit of support documentation on the crucial site but it is basic and going under the idea of everything in ideal condition.. and of course your OS behaving. I setup a partition for a few 100gb for the OS and the rest as a secondary drive for games. What a difference! My pc now boots up in seconds instead of minutes.i often click the power button on the base unit and look up to say "what? Already? That can't be it.I was gonna go grab a cuppa." Stability is excellent and instead of loading things are just available. There's no waiting or buffering.it's just there ready. This really has made a world of difference. The only negative is that it will show you how slow your internet speeds are. Good quality and value. highly recommend. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this drive have any dram cache?**
A: Thank you for your question!

Unfortunately, this Crucial P3 CT1000P3SSD8 SSD doesn't have Dram Cache.

**Q: Will this fit in a UGREEN USB-C to Dual M.2 b-key raid enclosure**
A: If I'm getting right from your question. You have an M.2 enclosure, but this is NVMe drive. SO Answer is NO. You have to get M.2 drive for your enclosure or you have to get NVMe enclosure for this or other NVMe SSD (what would be better option  in my opinion

**Q: I have an old laptop (Acer Aspire R15) with a 2.5 hard disk and want to upgrade the disk to this. Will it work if I install it with an adapter?**
A: Which particular model R15 have you got?

**Q: I have two (4tb). runs at full speed on one pc and half speed on another. i believe this is because a pc is pce-e gen3 (x2) rather than gen3 (x4)?**
A: Very probably.

 I would have a similar issue as the fast NVMe socket in my motherboard runs at gen3 x4 (with a high performing)  CPU, whereas the 'standard' NVMe socket is tied to gen3 x2 (as the 'fast' socket also would be with a lower performant CPU).

This kind of staggered spec. changeover is quite common, the market leaders usually try to get a jump by adding the latest toys before everything is fully ironed out and compliant through all components.
