 Crucial - P3 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe
Crucial - P3 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe
Basic bootup speeds won~t cut it ~ not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that~s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.

I have an older machine that uses one of these for the
system drive. It works so well, and is priced so well, that
I purchased a second one to use for system image backups. I clone my system drive to this each month, to
use as a backup. It is a fairly fast process, and provides
a good way to recover if a problem develops.
I would recommend this to a friend!

does a very good job.

I got this drive as an upgrade for my system drive in my
new gaming computer. This drive is as fast as advertised
(see my test results below). At the start of the test it was
at 37deg C. At the end of the test it was at 51deg C, but it
was back to 37deg C in just 4 minutes.
I had no issues cloning my system on to this drive using
Acronis. I have had no issues running my new gaming
computer with this drive in the 2 months I have had this
drive.
This was a good purchase, and has enhanced the
capabilities of my new gaming computer.

I use it with my gaming laptop and gaming mouse. It works well. It would be fine on your mahogany desk.

Does the refurbished t7 work as good as a new t7?

I purchased two of these refurbished drives. After properly initializing and formatting one of them, it appears to work as well as a new drive. This was not true for the second drive - I struggled to get it to work, and then found that 7% of the sectors of the drive were bad. It now appears to be working, but I less confidence in it.

Does the external SSD come with a USB-C cable? I’m not sure if I have one.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
