Short for solid-state drive, SSD is the type of storage device that deliver fast performance for your computers or mobile devices.
The Crucial P1 is the first NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) from Micron and continues the low-cost trend found in the MX500 and BX500. Indeed, at just $.22 per gigabyte, the new drive costs much less than other NVMe SSDs, like the Samsung 970 EVO or the WD Black. But the …

The latest WD Black SSD turns the competition in the NVMe market up a notch. Indeed, this new drive is a significant upgrade to WD’s last year’s NVMe SSD of the same name. It’s much faster and has significantly higher endurance. At the cost of fewer than 40 cents per gigabyte, …
