Question Crucial P1 500GB NVMe

[Taylar8888]

Is the crucial P1 a good NVMe? I know it’s not got as fast read and write speeds but it’s currently £61.19 for 500GB and wondering wether I should get the P1 or spend more on a better one?

Won’t be using it for gaming. Just AutoCAD and photos.

I'd spend a little more and get a better drive. If you're going to go NVME you might as well not only get decent speeds, but get one with NAND that has at least moderately good longevity to it. The QLC NAND drives have even lower endurance than the TLC drives. Plus the performance of that drive kind of sucks, where you want it to not suck.

The 970 EVO Plus is worth the extra £40 IMO.
