Crucial P3 Plus 4 TB
4 TB M.2 2280 SSD identified by the complete manufacturer part number below. Capacity, heatsink, interface mode and regional suffix can change specifications; do not transfer ratings from a neighboring SKU.
SKU IDENTIFICATION: Crucial P3 Plus, 4 TB, part number CT4000P3PSSD8. Verify the complete label, hardware revision and firmware before installation.
Manufacturer-identified specifications
| Product / exact MPN | Crucial P3 Plus 4 TB (CT4000P3PSSD8) |
|---|---|
| Capacity / form factor | 4 TB; M.2 2280. |
| Interface / host lanes | PCIe 4.0 x4; NVMe 1.4. Published maxima require the compatible host generation and lane configuration; an older or lane-shared host can negotiate lower throughput. |
| Controller | Not identified in the cited Crucial product references. |
| NAND | Crucial specifies Micron 3D NAND; cell type is not identified in the cited references. |
| Sequential performance | Up to 4,800 MB/s sequential read and 4,100 MB/s sequential write. Vendor-rated figures apply under manufacturer test conditions, not as guaranteed sustained real-world results. |
| Endurance / warranty | 800 TBW; five-year limited warranty (manufacturer specifications). |
| Thermal package | The cited Crucial references do not state an operating-temperature range. Use the host’s compatible M.2 heatsink/thermal-pad instructions and monitor temperature during sustained writes. |
Firmware, host compatibility & thermal cautions
- Crucial Storage Executive and the P3 Plus support page are Crucial’s routes for checking drive health, firmware and model-specific support.
- Requires an M.2 2280 socket supporting PCIe/NVMe; Gen3 systems may negotiate lower bandwidth. Verify BIOS/UEFI boot, lane sharing, heatsink clearance and the physical drive label.
- Check M.2 keying, slot length, single-/double-sided clearance, lane sharing, and system BIOS/UEFI support in the exact host manual; M.2 shape alone does not prove NVMe or boot compatibility.
- Follow the drive and host maker’s heatsink and thermal-pad instructions. Keep airflow around the controller area, do not stack thermal materials or remove factory labels/cooling without explicit guidance, and expect sustained performance to vary with temperature and workload.
- Shut down and remove standby power as instructed before installation; use ESD precautions. Back up data and retain recovery media and encryption keys before changing storage or updating firmware.
