These M.2 drives ok for gaming ?

[Medic-one]

Been looking a these Crucial P3 plus drives (specifically the 4 TB one) to replace my 1 TB WD_BLUE SN550 M.2 drive purely to install games on, but am reading various things about cache being too small and speed drops, though not sure if that would apply to gaming as well, or if it would be just during file transfer ?

Anybody using one of the P3 plus drives for gaming ?


My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Crucial P3 PLUS 2TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 4.0 NVMe Solid State Drive (SKU: HD-07B-CR) = £128.99
• 1 x Crucial P3 PLUS 4TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 4.0 NVMe Solid State Drive (SKU: HD-07J-CR) = £214.99

So if I wanted to go for a 4 TB one, and just use it for gaming this P3 plus would be alright you guys say, or would it be worth spending some more and going from something like this :

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Corsair Force MP600 CORE XT 4TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 Solid State Drive (CSSD-F4000GBMP600CXT) (SKU: HD-06W-CS) = £219.95
