Looking to upgrade the OS/ Programs drive on the new laptop and give extra storage. Currently has a Toshiba bg3 256gb 2230 nvme.

Wondering if anyone has the crucial p1 nvme 1tb? Reliable/quick? Not a gamer so the evo 970 pro is overkill. I've had crucial (m550) and samsung (840) before and both have served me well, and the p1 is guaranteed compatible.

      Thanks @Garetz

      Have you used the silicon power? Are they reliable? Faster than the p1?

      Best p1 price I can find is $144(crucial direct from USA 99.99usd) so if this is a lot better for only a little more that'd be good.

      I'm also looking to upgrade my current 256gb to 1TB on my laptop. I've been eyeing the SP 1TB P34A80 which is currently $186 on Amazon. Just hanging in there for a sale…

      The main difference is speed

      P34A60 = R/W up to 2,200MB/s, 1,600MB/s
      P34A80 = R/W up to 3,400MB/s, 3,000MB/s

      Read through comments for ozbers who have bought it

      I'm waiting for it to hit approx $153 again (set date range to 1 month)

    Reviews say Silicon being TLC unlike QLC isn't prone to the huge slowdowns after transferring large files, so I'd say go for the S power.
