With NVMe™ performance that's more than 6x faster than SATA and 22x faster than HDD2, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. With sequential read/write speeds up to 3500/3000MB/s1, storage capacities up to 4TB3, Micron® Advanced 3D NAND, and innovative controller technology, the Crucial P3 gives you the speed you need for the price you want.

A friend recommended this combination so I assume it will work.
However, the 4TB is only £4 above the lowest:
All of the deals posted lately are (understandably) for gen 4.0 drives and for larger capacities, so I'm struggling to find any. The low price part is quite key 😬
Search for 'Wicgtyp NV900-512' and you'll find them. (edited)
I installed it in a mini-PC (Firebat with AMD 5600h).
It's now running ProxMox with a Windows 11 VM, and a few Linux distros & containers.
Performance has been quite satisfactory so far.
The lack of DRAM doesn't bother me because I did a bit of research about it before buying. Onboard DRAM cache only makes a huge difference in SATA drives. The P3 and many other NVMe drives use Host Memory Buffer (HMB) to use a small bit of system RAM as DRAM cache. The difference is completely negligible - the drive controller and NAND are the main performance differentiators once you involve HMB tech.
I also read somewhere that the TBW (Terabytes written) of this drive is quite low. However, the Cruicial website says it's 440TB, which is quite decent.
Overall, I'm happy with this purchase, and it's ideal for a low-budget build.
As was already pointed out, not much (if any) performance difference but may as well save £25 (edited)
Will it be as fast or faster than other SSDs? No
On the SSD tier list its still a budget ssd due to its use of QLC memory chips. (edited)
My current drive is a WD black from 2018, it has dram apparently but iops are lower then this drive and this one has hbm, I'm thinking I won't notice any major differences? (edited)
Most of the DRAM-less QLC drives will utilise their QLC in a different way to buffer write data before more slowly writing it to disk. Basically: if your day to day involves bulk writing multiple GB to this drive, then get something better. If it doesn't, then you probably will never notice the difference (other than the initial drive clone, which will hit this issue, but it's a one off really).
