Just ordered one of these for extra capacity on my boot drive. Currently got a Corsair Force MP510 1.92TB from 2019 and just want the extra space. Its a PCI-e 4 drive and my motherboard only supports PCI-e 3 anyway but it was £7 more expensive than the PCI-e 3 non plus so went with the Plus version.

Also looked at Corsair MP600 CORE XT but I'm led to believe the Crucial is better.
 
Yeah the speed of my current drive is fast enough and this drive should be similar. I’m currently using 507GB of my current 1.92TB but I wanted to buy something on Black Friday. Don’t need the latest and absolutely fastest and my motherboard wouldn’t support it anyway.
 
I went for P3 Plus because I wanted 4TB and my motherboard nvme slot is only PCI-e gen 3. I probably won’t see the benefit of the P3 Plus which is PCI-e gen 4. No point buying a faster drive for a future motherboard the market will have changed by then.
 
Received my P3 Plus 4TB today and benchmarked it vs my old Corsair MP510 1.92TB.

My motherboard definitely the limiting factor and is the reason why I didn't go for a faster drive.

I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one of those 4tb p3 plus drives , I have got a 2tb p5 plus for windows and music production, a 2tb firecuda 530 for games, thinking about getting the P3 for storage and going full ssd in this build

Yeah I only have NVme SSD in my machine no SATA drives anymore.
 
Looks like I got a genuine Black Friday deal as it’s now £273.99 where I bought it, I paid £163.99. Most other places out of stock or around the same price but ocUK have them for £219.95.
