5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance for the price.
Getting 150MB/s. It is slower than the max speed as I am using it as external drive with Thunderbolt 3 enclosure (10Gbps). It is performing fine. Able to load 2K LrC catalog without delay. Do not see any performance issues working with raw images on M2/M3 mac. If somebody is planning to use this as external drive for photo processing it works great with cheaper 10Gbps (thunderbolt 3) enclosure.
If used as internal drive (PCIe 4) or with thunderbolt 4 enclosure, the performance will be even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good cost point!
Nicely compatible with my Asus TUF Gaming A15 laptop, and installation was quite straightforward and I did it myself.
Fast, cool. Overall a 5!

4.0 out of 5 stars Original Product, very good performance!
My laptop used to take more than 5 minutes to boot and windows 11 was unresponsive. It was impossible to use Google Chrome as it would take a lot of time to load. After installing Windows in this SSD, my laptop now boots within 10 seconds!!!! Google Chrome takes few seconds to start, everything feels smooth and snappy.
To check whether you have genuine product: Download “Crucial Storage Executive” application and match the model number & serial number on the package to that in the application. Mine was genuine.
I’ve uploaded the read write speed of my old HDD and this new SSD, you can clearly see the huge margin.
Out of 500 GB, Available storage to use is 465 GB.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is pretty fast and good, but…
If you want a budget drive that is also good, this is the way. But a slight problem that I noticed is that it heats up kinda quickly. But it made my old laptop like 5 times faster!

5.0 out of 5 stars Performance boost nominal, and good storage with not much of heating issues.
A good product if you looking for storage expansion, heating issue is not of any problem. Easy to install, I did by myself just watch a video. System detected the drive without any efforts. Read and Write speeds will vary from pc to pc but overall good compatibility and performance boost.
Got it for 6k, slightly expensive for P3 plus as you can grab this for 4k in good deals.
I am using this p3 plus in my Asus tuf A17 and another P5 on my Hp omen 16.1 the difference is just the speed and performance boost.
After installation, start time decreased by 3 sec which is quite amazing, even after ih kept 10 application on pre launch.
Also, if you going to install by yourself make sure to clean all the fans n cooling openings, it will lower heatings.
Overall a good product at a good range. Its been a week, I am using this now. It meets the expectations so far, might review it again after a quarter of use.
