The 500GB QLC NAND Crucial SSD Has Appeared on Amazon Japan

Crucial QLC NAND SSD Appears on Amazon SSD

With the increasing competition of the solid state drive on the market, more and more memory companies decide to launch some new solid state drive to attract customers. And recently, the sun has risen on Crucial company since it has launched a series of new SSD – Crucial P1 series SSD equipped with Micron’s quad-level cell (QLC) NAND.

The Crucial has not announced the QLC NAND SSD, but it has appeared on the Amazon Japan. And it has been called Crucial SSD M.2 500 GB P1 series Type 2280 PCIe 3.0 × 4 NVMe 5-year warranty CT 500 P 1 SSD 8 JP. But don’t worry. About the Crucial QLC NAND SSD, some information will be found in Amazon Japan posting and we will simply list them.

Introduction of Crucial QLC NAND SSD

The Crucial 500GB SSD is in the Type 2280 form factor and comes with a five-year limited warranty. And in terms of the read and write performance, the list claims that the sequential read speed of the Crucial 500GB QLC NAND SSD can reach up to 1900MB/s and the sequential write speed is about 950MB/s. And the random read and write of the Crucial 500GB QLC NAND SSD respectively are 90,000 IOPS and 220,000 IOPS.

In addition, the listing also claims that there exist three different hard drive capacities of the Crucial QLC NAND SSD. They respectively are 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. The 2TB Crucial SSD is marked as coming soon on the Crucial UK website.

As the different capacities, the performances also are different. For the 1TB Crucial P1 SSD, the sequential read and write speed can reach up to 2,000MB/s and 1,700 MB/s. What’s more, the sequential read and write speed of the 2TB Crucial SSD can reach up to 2,000MB/s and 1,750MB/s.

And the Crucial P1 series SSD takes advantage of the NVMe/PCIe Gen3 x4 interface. We expect that either Micron or Toshiba can release the 64-layer NAND, which can be used to compete with the QLC NAND. And 64-layer NAND has good performance.

Price of the Crucial QLC SSD

In terms of the price of Crucial QLC SSD, it is ¥15,066 with standard delivery at Amazon Japan. That’s roughly $135. And this Crucial SSD may offer an idea of where QLC NAND drives will sit in the market. We also hope that more solid state drives which have better performance could be researched and developed.

Since the Crucial P1 series SSD has fast read and write speed, it can be a good choice for those users who want to pursue fast speed. And it can be used to save the precious data with its large capacity. So you still can choose to upgrade to the larger hard drive. In this way, you can not only get more free space to store data and files but also can improve the performance of your device. As to upgrade SSD, MiniTool Partition Wizard would be a good assistant.

Bottom Line

In conclusion, the Crucial QLC NAND SSD has appeared on Amazon Japan. And the listing also has listed some specifications of this Crucial P1 series SSD. As a matter of fact, this Crucial SSD has better read and write performance. And with so large capacity, it is a good choice if you have a lot of data and files to save.
