We had the chance toreview the Crucial P3 Plus 4TB SSD when it was released in 2022 and found it to be an underwhelming SSD compared to other faster Gen 4 SSD releases of that period. What made the Crucial P3 Plus stand out was the decent performance for its price, with original MSRP prices aimed at the budget end of the market.
