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
Before someone asked, this is Gen 4 and works for PS5. You're welcome.
It was actually 129 on Prime Day back in July.

I bought one of these a couple weeks ago. Did some R/W tests on the empty drive and performance seemed perfectly acceptable - 2500-3000MB/S in both read and write. Filled it up about 70%. Then I heard that performance took a nosedive after actually adding data to it. Rerun CrystalDiskMark tests at both 1GB and 8GB.

Sequential 1MB R/Ws with only a single queue (compared to 8 which seemed mostly unchanged) dropped to 250 read, 500 write... 5-10x decrease, but only one of them would decrease at a time. I.e. first time, read is 250, write is 3000... rerun same test read is 2500, write is 500. Run it again, and it's back the other way. Something is definitely weird with this drive. Ran a bunch of tests on my Samsung NVMEs and empty or filled they perform exactly the same as they always have.

I'm gonna send it back and get a 990 PRO and just stop worrying about it completely.

TBW = 800TB means QLC, slow sequential writing. Pass.

How does this compare this Samsung 990 pro and WD 850 which are also on sale.
Thanks

It was 250 unless you were military, no?
Or AAA (the auto service), or something else I forget. I used the AAA discount. I was hoping they would have it again so I could get another.

Quote from blak000 :
Yeah, QLC drive. I agree that it'll serve fine as a game or storage drive, but you can get 4tb TLC w/ DRAM for $200 right now. $20 difference from much better TBW and overall performance seems worth it over the Crucial P3 Plus.

Could you link to the one you're mentioning? I'd much rather get that

From what I read, Samsung has reliability issues.
Not the 990 Pro. The issue was with 980

It was I bought it

There's no record of that price for this drive anywhere onlone from what I can see. I saw it matches this price but not down to 120! Are you sure you didn't have some other discount applied as well?
