sorted byThis is a great price really, no TLC drives come close to this price so it's the best value option (or second best if you don't need it for a PS5 and can live with gen3 speeds).
Having no DRAM isn't a major issue for most, at least PC/laptop users will get the benefit of HMB to make up for it a little (sadly no HMB support on the PS5).
As Marcel posted above, those that don't really need the higher sequential speeds of the P3 Plus can get the gen3 P3 for a bit less.
Just don't use the drives for write intensive tasks in the long term, like video editing.
Ha!
You didn't expect that, did you! (edited)
The speed differs but is not really noticeable to everyone. Even NV2 is compatible. (edited)
But, there are a few motherboards that suffer from bios POST lockup after the 4TB P3 PLUS is fitted. Thinkpad x1 Extreme Gen 5 is an example. ASUS Extreme ALPA motherboard another example. The forums that talk about this wind up with no fix.
My P3 Plus 4TiB is already on latest FW according to Crucial Storage Executive. Thinkpad x1 is also latest BIOS. Crucial Web site says Thinkpad x1 extreme Gen5 is a supported laptop for this NVMe. I have reset my bios - still does not work. The NVMe works fine on my dell 5500. So buyer beware of these NVMe drives.
To lock the BIOS up like this, suggests to me, its a fundamental issue that was not tested. Others on forums also talk about this problem on same laptop. So to say this works for the thinkpad x1 extreme gen5 on their web site, when it clearly does not... I am not sure I would trust crucial ever again. I have raised a ticket with Crucial and see what they say. (edited)

Someone mentioned about this 4TB drive is cheap enough so you can burn it up in two years and replace it with something newer!
To burn the 800TBW rating up in two years would require about 7.7TB to be written every week.
I tried to theory craft a scenario of how one could write 7.7TB of data every week, including a massive amount of 10 game installs, 40 hours of game video capture and editing, and a huge amount of video/ audio downloads and I got around 4.7TB a week.
To rinse and repeat this every single week would be a very focussed task. I'm thinking a combination of 24/7 4K video capture and editing with a healthy amount of data downloads would get you there.
This drive has the lowest endurance rating I've seen and yet its still godly.
I still think people shouldn't overpay for each TB. 4TB isn't as good value as 2TB, and with the SSD prices crashing through the floor it makes sense to buy what you can use in the near future and wait it out.
Having too much invested in a stock that is plummeting doesn't seem a wise choice.
There aren't any 4TB TLC NAND drives close enough to this price to be a viable alternative so it's fine for people on a budget.
Don't worry, we're here!
To be fair, there are no 4TB TLC alternatives close to this price, never mind drives with DRAM.
amazon.co.uk/add…8-1
Micron 176L TLC, DRAM cache, Phison E18 controller, 7200MB/s read, 6500MB/s write, 5yr warranty.
Can't post it as a deal as the seller (Addlink themselves) don't have 300 ratings.

Biggest negative was the price, but that was then, not now! (edited)
