    Really Fast With A Little Work - and a great price for the speed and capacity
    This is a fast drive and great bang for the buck. To get this to go really fast, I had to take an extra step. I bought this to replace my SATA M.2 boot drive on my Dell 5570. I am not an IT professional, I would say I know more than the average bear, but not near at technically advanced as some other reviews you may see here. In the world of hardware, I have swapped out RAM, changed SATA III drive from HDD to SSD, stuff like that.I will take some time to explain my install process for those similar to me.Before I start. BACKUP your data. BACKUP your data. BACKUP your data.***DISCLAIMER*** I am not a professional and am not telling you what to do or offering advice, I am just passing on my experience with this product.1. I used a tool on the Crucial website to scan my system to confirm what drives would work on my system/motherboard. I already knew I had an M.2 port, but I wasn't sure if i could go from SATA to PCIe. The tool gave me a list of what would work and I just copied the part # and search for it on Amazon.2. Along with the SSD, I also bought an enclosure/adapter to put the new Crucial drive in to write the clone to from the boot drive (C:). After a bit a looking around I was sure to buy one for PCIe and not SATA, they are not interchangeable.3. To clone my boot drive (C:) to this new Crucial drive, I used a free version of Marcium Reflect. I just google it and watch some YouTube videos to learn how to use this particular software. I have used cloning software before, but each one is a little different, so I just wanted to make sure I had all my ducks in a row.4. Once the clone was done. I popped the back cover off my laptop and swapped out my old SATA M.2 SSD with this new Crucial PCIe M.2 drive. The only difference between this and swapping RAM is that there is a retaining screw on the M.2 port.5. When I tried to reboot my machine I for an error from my BIOS saying there was no BOOT DRIVE CONFIGURATION.6. I rebooted the computer again and pressed F2 while booting to enter the BIOS (this will vary based on PC manf.)7. I went to BOOT MANAGER and added a path to the new drive. Having never had to do this, I just look at the path of the old drive and use the same path on the new drive.8. Rebooted and windows loaded with no problems.9. Ran a speed test using the free software CrystalDiskMark. The results are the first pic with the top speed of 1523.22. While this was a major improvement over my SATA, I still thought there was some more speed out there. After a little research I found that Crucial has propitiatory software Storage Executive that will optimize the drive.10. Once I had Storage Executive installed, I opened it up and was underwhelmed. The option in the software that speeds thing up is called Momentum Cache. I soon realized the software did't recognize that I had a Crucial brand SSD mounted to the motherboard. So I had to do some more research and found that I had to change the BOIS from RAID to AHCI.11. I google RAID to AHCI and read a couple of posts, super easy. While doing my research on why it wan't being recognized, I found a post on Crucial's website that made it sound complicated ---- WRONG, it was easy.12. Once I changed from RAID to AHCI, I rebooted the machine again. I let it run through all it's startup processes then ran CrystalDiskMark again and got the results in the second pic wit the top speed of 5231.59.I hope this helps some folks out there.

    Capacity: 1TBPattern: SSDVerified Purchase
    I wasn't expecting much from this drive, I already had a Samsung 860 Evo SATA SSD in my laptop, however the 500GB capacity was getting a bit tight. I opted for the 1TB model on Prime Day for a steal at $80. It arrived next day, and the installation was cake (if you can insert a stick of RAM, you can install an M.2 drive.

    After getting everything installed, cloned, and the boot order modified, the drive was performing about the same as my old SATA SSD on first boot. After installing the requisite Corsair Storage Executive software and making a few tweaks there, the SSD started to really wake up. I can boot to the login screen on my laptop in about 2 seconds after POST. After login, everything is ready to go. Chrome launches instantly, Steam updates in a matter of seconds, and everything is near instant.

    The drive is rated at about 2000MB/s read and 1700MB/s write. Imagine my surprise when Crystal Disk Mark put up an ABSOLUTELY BLAZING 4150+MB/s READ AND WRITE. I was questioning whether or not I was sent the drive I ordered. I reran the test a few more times, and similar numbers came up every time. My 970 Evo NVMe drive in my desktop puts up closer to 3200MB/s, which is still very extremely fast compared to anything on the SATA bus (SATA SSDs normally have about a 550MB/s cap).

    Games launch as you would expect for a drive of this speed. Tomb Raider I (1996) and Tomb Raider II (1997), even with DOSbox emulation, are fast and fluid. The 1050 in my laptop doesn't break a sweat on those. The Talos Principle, with everything cranked to the max, only blinks the load screen for a moment before you're in. I don't even remember what the load screens looks like in Portal 2. The recent Tomb Raider games (2013+) load so fast, you can't read the load screen tips, normally only reading the first few words before you're back in the action.

    I will say the Samsung software is a little bit better in terms of overall UI and function (Corsair does not offer a self-contained firmware update, you must download the firmware separately and point the software to the downloaded file), however you're not spending any time in there anyway once the Over Provisioning cache is set up and a few other performance related check boxes.

    So your options right now are the following:
    • Spend twice as much for a Samsung SSD and get slower speeds
    • Spend less than $100, get 1TB of space, and blow away other, more expensive drives by at least 25%

    This drive will not disappoint!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible drive and speed for the price

    Capacity: 1TBPattern: SSDVerified Purchase
    A little context: I'm commercial photographer and videographer and have been using G-Technology G-Drives for the better part of 10 years. I shoot tethered to, work directly off of, and backup to these drives. So needless to say, external hard drives are an integral part of my workflow.

    I've been researching SSD drives for some time now but have been waiting for the price/GB to come down. I've had my eye on this Crucial 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD for probably the past 6 months. I saw the price dip to $95 and decided to pull the trigger. And oh my god am I glad I did. Using Blackmagic's Speed Test I measured both my 2TB 7,200RPM G-Drive and this 1TB NVMe SSD. My G-Drive came in at an average of 108 MB/s with USB-A 3.0, which I've been used to for some time. I was completely astounded when I saw that my new Crucial 1TB NVMe SSD was getting 9x's better (!!!!!) read/write speeds at an average of 932 MB/s with USB-C. With USB-A to USB-C it was averaging around 460 MB/s. Which is still insane compared to my now dinosaur of a G-Drive.

    I paired this with the Sabrent USB 3.1 NVMe M.2 SSD Aluminum enclosure (https://amzn.to/35yLsi0) and could not be happier with the results. I wish this drive came in a 2TB+ option as I would likely pick up several of them. But this is an incredible step for me in the transition towards an all-SSD workflow.

    I'm including a screenshot of the Speedtest and photo of the the drive in the Sabrent enclosure for size context.

    SOME NOTES
    • It's very small, only a little bigger than a stick of gum.
    • Installation in an external NVMe M.2 enclosure is extremely simple.
    • Being a Mac user you will have to reformat this drive for it to work with your system (which I would recommend you do with any external hard drive anyway).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible drive and speed for the price
    Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019
    A little context: I'm commercial photographer and videographer and have been using G-Technology G-Drives for the better part of 10 years. I shoot tethered to, work directly off of, and backup to these drives. So needless to say, external hard drives are an integral part of my workflow.

    I've been researching SSD drives for some time now but have been waiting for the price/GB to come down. I've had my eye on this Crucial 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD for probably the past 6 months. I saw the price dip to $95 and decided to pull the trigger. And oh my god am I glad I did. Using Blackmagic's Speed Test I measured both my 2TB 7,200RPM G-Drive and this 1TB NVMe SSD. My G-Drive came in at an average of 108 MB/s with USB-A 3.0, which I've been used to for some time. I was completely astounded when I saw that my new Crucial 1TB NVMe SSD was getting 9x's better (!!!!!) read/write speeds at an average of 932 MB/s with USB-C. With USB-A to USB-C it was averaging around 460 MB/s. Which is still insane compared to my now dinosaur of a G-Drive.

    I paired this with the Sabrent USB 3.1 NVMe M.2 SSD Aluminum enclosure (https://amzn.to/35yLsi0) and could not be happier with the results. I wish this drive came in a 2TB+ option as I would likely pick up several of them. But this is an incredible step for me in the transition towards an all-SSD workflow.

    I'm including a screenshot of the Speedtest and photo of the the drive in the Sabrent enclosure for size context.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Much faster than SATA SSD, great performance-per-watt.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018
    Capacity: 1TBPattern: SSDVerified Purchase
    Why get it:
    - Much faster than SATA SSD
    - Great performance-per-watt and low idle power. Great for laptops.
    - Great Crucial (Micron) support / reliability /warranty (I used their support once on a M4 SSD)
    - Plenty of endurance for typical consumer use cases
    - Free Acronis True Image SW to clone old drive into this new SSD

    Why skip it:
    - Not suitable for server workloads (e.g. highly transactional DBs) or people that, on a daily base, write >25GB worth of data

    Performance summary:
    - Data Rate: ~2.5X faster than SATA drives, ~40% less than high-end PCIe NVMe in heavy-duty workloads
    - Latency: ~¼ lower than SATA drives, ~40% higher than high-end PCIe NVMe in heavy-duty workloads
    - On typical consumer workloads (mixed random R/W low queue depth), there is no noticeable difference relative to a high-end PCIe NVMe

    === UPDATE 7/20/2019 ===
    I bought a second one (1TB). Installed on my son's ASUS ROG Zephyrus G GA502 gaming laptop (for a total of 1.5TB using the free M.2 slot). Now there is plenty of space for games (512GB gets full quickly with Steam games). The only problem was that the laptop motherboard did not came with the screw (shame on ASUS). Plenty fast. Priced right. 5 starts.

    Had it for 4 years now. First in my laptop, now as my main drive (Windows installed on it)for my pc built in 2020. We're in 2023 still working and awesome speed. Got it for $75 on amazon prime day 2019. Nvme drives where still expensive that year. It has 1 tb too. This drive really made me believe in crucial SSDs. Now I have one in my PS5 too.

    Ideal for upgrading MacBook Pro with, ideally, Sintec adapter in Apple propriety Slot on Logic board., useful boost in Performance and is good with Bootcamp Win10 \11 installation as well. OCLP Monterey and Ventura work like a charm, See Mac Rumours web page for compatible NVMe drives as not every NVMe drive is compatible, Needs OS Mojave preinstalled in many instances to update the firmware before use.

    Using the 2TB version as a data drive (while the 1TB is used as an OS/program drive):
    + Have been using Crucial SSDs since the M4 days and I have never had an issue, so I keep coming back to Crucial.
    + Although the P1s are no speedsters, even by Gen 3 SSD standards, they get the job done, reliably and consistently.
    + Decent size eSLC cache size.
    - The 2TB version has better performance and endurance than the 1TB one, but I would recommend to look at Crucial P5 NVMe (which was not out when I bought the P1 1TB drive).

    Used on a PC system with:
    MB: Gigabyte X570 Aurus Elite
    OS: Windows 10 x64 20H2

    Os SSD's realmente dão um bom upgrade no PC. Fiz a aquisição desse SSD para aumentar a capacidade de armazenamento, devido alguns jogos que uso, da Steam. Substituí o anterior SSD, de 525 gb, por este, de 1000 gb (931 gb disponíveis ao usuário). Instalei em um Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming 5577, e está funcionando normalmente. Espero que dure, pelo menos tanto quanto seu antecessor.

    Tenía tiempo buscando un reemplazo del Disco Duro Mecánico que venía de fábrica en mi laptop Dell 7567.
    Entre todas las opciones encontré muy buenos reviews de estos productos, Crucial Scanner ayudó mucho a asegurarme el modelo que necesitaba.

    En general el desempeño es incomparable con el de un disco mecánico: MÁS rapidez y MENOS ruido. Usualmente tardaba 2-3 minutos en encender. Ahora tarda 8 segundos (incluyendo la carga de todos los programas de inicio). Todos el software lo abre en menos de 15 segundos al igual que los juegos. No he tenido problemas con las licencias por el clonado, ni de adobe, steam, windows, ni fallos con los drivers. En general todo funciona mejor.

    En cuanto al desempeño objetivo, las cifras que me arrojó son muy semejantes a los límites especificados por el fabricante. Entiendo que otros usuarios han tenido velocidades más bajas pero supongo que se debe a la configuración general de su hardware.

    En fin, nunca había hecho un cambio de disco duro y mucho menos un clonado de la unidad principal, pero el disco viene con Acronis TI que facilita mucho la tarea (el programa hace todo). Si solo quieres utilizarlo como disco de almacenamiento, literal solo tienes que conectar y el sistema lo reconoce perfectamente.

    La instalación fue sumamente sencilla: solo quitar la tapa y agregar 1 tornillo.

    Si quieres sutituir el disco principal, tienes 2 opciones:
    1. Reinstalar windows con un disco de arranque (Con esto tendrás una máquina como de fábrica)
    2. Clonar tu Disco Duro Mecánico (con todos tus datos, drivers y licencias) a tu nuevo SSD

    Para el primero solo tienes que ir a la página de Windows y buscar el artículo "Reinstalar Windows 10". Ahí te guía para iniciar desde 0 en tu disco nuevo.

    El paso 2 es más complicado. Porque tienes que clonar el disco, modificar el orden de arranque de los discos y luego a) deshacerte del disco duro mecánico (desconectarlo), o b) formatearlo para usarlo como disco de almacenamiento adicional (esto hice yo).

    MUY IMPORTANTE: siempre haz un backup de tu información sin importar el procedimiento que vayas a utilizar.
