Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

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!

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).
• The speed is outrageous.
• Only time will tell the longevity and performance of the drive as I've only been testing it for several days.
For the price and performance, I would highly recommend buying this drive.

- 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.

+ 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).

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.

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.
