I bought a Crucial P3 4TB. After about 18-19% full, write speed for large files drops to about 70MB/s. You could say that's normal QLC performance, but the read speed drops at the same time. There is some serious problem with this drive design.

I have done extensive testing on this, and got a confirmation from Crucial that my drive is behaving as designed. I passed my return window, and now I'm stuck with this drive that's slower than my mechanical drives.

Almost all the crystal diskmark results you can find of this drive on amazon or even some tech review media, they only tested the default 1GB sequential. Fill this drive above 20% capacity, then run 8GB test and see for yourself.

I have access to Crucial P3 Plus at work, and I did the same tests, and got similar results.

Added my test results

be warned, the p3 plus is qlc nand with no dram cache. they're reasonably decent quality, but they are pretty darned slow. great for write once read many workloads, but writing is super slow.

I don't know anything about the specs on these, but most threads online talk about how these aren't great for ps5 but will work. I want to pull the trigger on this so bad, but I think I'll hold out for a different model.

These drives are really slow if you need to write a lot of data at once, or do a lot of manipulation of a lot of random data (like reading/writing at the same time).

And since it's cheap QLC it might not last even remotely as long as it's rated for so you better have backups.

Better off paying a little extra for the Lexar NM790, WD SN850X, or NEXSTORAGE drives.
They have DRAM + TLC (Lexar uses a special HBM system) and have Gen 4 speeds.
I keep seeing people mention NEXSTORAGE, but I had never heard of them until yesterday. They are a quality mfg?

not good price QLC 800TBW DRAMless 5000MB/s.

$20 more gets you 7300MB/s TLC/2GB DRAM and 3000TBW
