M.2 PCIe SSDs are not as expensive as they used to be a couple of years ago, but finding a killer deal is still out of reach for many consumers who do not wish to spend a small fortune on their gaming or desktop computers. Also, games have become immense storage gobblers, so it is now even more imperative to find an SSD deal that stands out from the pack, and boy, do we have something for you. The Crucial P3 Plus does not only offer you a whopping 4TB of storage, but it is compatible with PCIe Gen 4.0 and Gen 3.0 standards, so it will work in current and previous-generation machines.
The P3 Plus is a PCIe Gen 4 compliant SSD, so it is also possible for you to stick the 4TB variant of the drive in your PS5, though we recommend getting those inexpensive heatsinks along with this purchase because these Gen 4 SSDs are known to get toasty when stressed. When it comes to speeds, the P3 Plus is slower than your top-end PCIe Gen 4 SSDs, but at 5,000MB/s sequential read speeds and 4,200MB/s sequential write speeds, it is significantly faster than the previous generation, while being affordable.
On top of that, Crucial is offering a 5-year limited warranty for the P3 Plus, but it is always prudent to back up your data elsewhere. As for its durability, the company claims that the MTTF (Mean Time to Fail) rating is 1.5 million hours, so before the drive ends up failing, you will probably be owning a new computer, laptop, and a new 4TB SSD by then. Crucial was also generous enough to include a mounting screw to help secure the P3 Plus in place, so you do not have to look anywhere else.
Assuming you find this deal pricey, the regular Crucial P3 is available on Amazon in between the $189-$199 range, so for $205, you are getting faster read and write speeds for the same storage and at a minuscule price difference.
