Highlights

  • Impressive Gen4 Speed Boost: Unleashes sequential transfer performance reaching up to 4,700 MB/s read and 1,900 MB/s write. This delivers up to 43% faster execution speeds than the fastest PCIe 3.0 SSDs, sharply reducing operating system boot times and application loading screens.
  • Efficient Phison E21T Controller: Powered by Phison's proven PS5021-E21T 4-channel controller fabric. Its optimized computing architecture balances everyday data scheduling requirements while keeping power draw remarkably low.
  • High-Density Micron 176-Layer 3D NAND: Outfitted with Micron's advanced 176-layer 3D flash memory infrastructure. This stacked layering process ensures reliable long-term data retention alongside snappy file transmission capabilities.
  • Host Memory Buffer (HMB) Technology: Operates a highly efficient DRAM-less architecture that leverages a fraction of your computer's shared system RAM via HMB. This preserves high-speed looking-up tables and fluid multitasking while keeping build costs economical.
  • Cool and Power-Conscious Architecture: Engineered with advanced thermal management and low operational power states. The P3 Plus runs significantly cooler than high-tier Gen4 flagships, making it an ideal choice for maintaining structural battery life in thin notebooks.
  • Dynamic Pseudo-SLC Write Caching: Utilizes an adaptive write-acceleration cache pool to smoothly handle heavy incoming bursts of data. File transfers, everyday game installations, and media copies move with consistent stability.
  • Universal Backward Compatibility: Designed with built-in backward compatibility to function flawlessly on older PCIe 3.0 motherboard slots. This provides an easy, future-proof upgrade path for older desktop rigs or portable laptops.
  • Comprehensive Storage Integrity Suite: Packed with core data protections, running an advanced multi-step error correction algorithm (ECC), end-to-end data path protection, Pyrite 2.01 security protocols, and adaptive thermal monitoring.
Step up your system responsiveness with modern Gen4 storage capabilities using the Crucial P3 Plus 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD. Fusing a solid 4,700 MB/s sequential read threshold, an energy-saving Phison controller, dynamic HMB caching, and premium Micron 176-layer 3D flash components, this drive delivers the ultimate configuration balance of next-gen bandwidth, reliable thermal stability, and budget-friendly pricing.

General Warranty Terms & Conditions

1. General Warranty Coverage

All products—including Brand New, Open Box, and Used items—are subject to the same warranty conditions, inspection standards, and exclusions outlined in this policy.

Open Box and Used items receive the same manufacturing-defect coverage as Brand New items. However, they may have a shorter designated warranty period, as specified on the product page or purchase invoice.

Power Protection Requirement

Due to extreme grid-voltage fluctuations ranging from 180V to 250V, all systems, individual components, and electronic devices must be powered exclusively through a verified, high-quality Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

Failures or damage caused by the following are strictly excluded:

  • Power spikes or electrical surges
  • Brownouts or unstable voltage
  • Physical or accidental damage
  • Liquid exposure
  • Improper handling or misuse

These exclusions apply to products in all conditions, including Brand New, Open Box, and Used items.

Strict No-Tampering Policy

Opening or disassembling any device—including user-accessible hardware such as custom PCs, pre-built PCs, laptops, graphics cards, and power supplies—will immediately void the warranty.
