If it's true, then this may be the best price for a while. For $40 more you get 10X the performance of the Crucial MX500 SATA SSD which is currently $209.99. I'm picking it up for some long term storage.

I also seen reports in another thread about crucial SSDs dropping performance enormously once DRAM cache is used up. Like: below spinning drive speeds, which I find hard to believe, but... If anyone knows whether this is the case with this specific model, can you please chime in

So the P3 Plus is no barn burner among NVMe SSDs. It still seeks 10 times faster than SATA SSDs, and reads and writes dozens of times faster than any hard drive. It's fast—it's just not as fast as others in the benchmarks.
Bottom line
If you want a lot of NVMe storage for not a lot of money (relatively speaking), then currently, the Crucial P3 Plus is what you're looking for. The performance won't be fantastic all the time, but again, this is NVMe, and unless you really stress the drive to the point where it runs out of secondary cache, you'll likely never notice. It's a real bargain.
and here's two additional reviews:

So here's my thinking on this drive. First, if you visit pcpartpicker you'll see that the pickings are slim in 4 TB drives. It's much more competitive for 1 TB and 2 TB drives. To move up to a mainstream 4TB drive, you're in the $400 ballpark. This is one of the slowest gen 4 NVMe drives, yet several times faster than the fastest SATA SSD. 800 TBW is consistent with QLC NAND. If you are going to be beating this drive with multiple write/erase cycles daily, you need to spend more for a better drive. If you want a 4 TB drive and you're thinking about getting the Crucial MX500 and you have an available NVMe slot, this is your drive.

(There are also companies promising to make "Many TB" NVMe SSDs for the consumer market, in the very near future)
I have grabbed myself 2 of the P41 plus drives over the last year. $50/TB for a Gen4 NVMe of 'acceptable performance' was my personal 'buying threshold', and the P41 hit that threshold first.
BTW. 'Slow' Gen4 drives should still be able to operate in Gen4 mode when connected to a Gen4 x1 slot via any of the 'short trace' X1 lane PCIe-M.2 adapters.
(Gen4 x1 is 'as good as' the early PCIe Gen2 boards with 2.0x4 lane NVMe-support, and some budget Gen3 drives only used a 3.0x2 lane.
-Might be handy for a content creator on a shoestring budget: 2 Gen4 drives in 4.0x1 slots and in RAID 0 would make for a great 'scratch drive'. AFAIK, all the X570 boards have 4.0 x1 slots off the chipset.
i tried contacting Crucial for pointer to PUBLICLY AVAILABLE information on such matters, but there is NO WAY to talk to crucuial: no emal, nothing. there might be a silly chat on certain hours, but i'd have no legal trace of that conversation.
Cruial drives have been found to have ridiculously flawed encryption implementations by researchers reversing their firmwares. i just saw that Crucial sort of acknowledges on their website the existence of "some" research about vulnerabilities (but curiously not the vulnerabilities themselves, much less which ones) and just recommends upgrading the firmware... again without saying which vulns exist, much less which were supposedly fixed by any particular update, or even that any update fixed any such vuln at all. it "sounds" as if you are covered if you upgrade, but they DON'T SAY that, they just let you infer it.
these guys are a poor excuse of a company and don't deserve any trust at all.
buy the sn850x. it might be more expensive, but the OEM is way less doggy and those actually are Opal 2.01 compliant from day one.
