It is a typical dramless NVMe ssd which though decent is still not as good as WD SN570 which is the fastest dramless NVMe pcie 3 ssd & is available for just 5119 a few days back on amazon. Most importantly, in worst case scenario(more than 50-60% filled or writing dozens of GBs of data in one go) crucial P3 write speeds can drop to hdd level 100MB/s but SN570 write speeds will never drop below 400-500MB/s even if it is almost full.

My P3 is 80% full right now (with Windows on it). No speed drops.

Crucial P3 SSD Review: Solid Secondary SSD

The P3 is an efficient budget drive with capacity to spare
www.tomshardware.com www.tomshardware.com

The P3, like the P3 Plus, is capable of using all of its native QLC in a single-bit pSLC mode. This allows for a cache up to about 550GB. Once it runs out of cache the P3 is forced to free up space by copying data from pSLC to QLC which slows it down greatly; the write speed plummets from 3.2 GBps to 100 MBps. The cache’s size will vary relative to the amount of free space on the drive, with a minimum amount always available to at least cache random writes.

Above review is for 2TB model which has 550GB of pSLC cache so 1TB model should have around 275GB of pSLC cache which is approx 30% of free space so for your 80% filled P3 1TB drive the pSLC cache would be around 30% of 200GB so around 60GB. To see post cache write speeds of ~100MB/s you need to copy around 70GB data consisting mainly of big files(like videos, game iso etc) from another NVMe ssd to P3.

At this point, I doubt the OP would be copying from an NVME to NVME. Speeds won't drop when copying from a SATA SSD or HDD, or at the very least recover quickly. Either way, good options are there for a decent price.
 
well, i have decided to go with a wd750(500gb) for now.
got it for around 2500 approx.
could have gone with 1tb but wont be of much use since i will be using around 150-200 gb on windows and the rest 200-250gb for games and who knows maybe prices will drop more in future.

honestly i dont copy/render much of anything. its either gaming or general use. even the sata ssd (WD GREEN m2) has never disappointed me, except when copying big games from hdd to ssd.
this is when the speed drops to shit like
30-50Mb
even 100mb would be a good improvement, nevermind 400mb.

thx for reminding me that my ssd was lagging behind times.

SN750 is old model but performance wise it is as good as SN570, in fact better than SN570 in some aspects.

Good choice, you would have been fine with any decent NVME at that price point.
