CT4000P3SSD8T Crucial P3 4TB PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 Server SSD

High-Capacity M.2 2280 NVMe SSD for PCIe Gen3 Storage Expansion with the CT4000P3SSD8T

The CT4000P3SSD8T is a 4TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD designed for PCIe 3.0 x4 platforms that need high capacity per slot without changing the CPU generation or server chassis layout. In workstation-class systems and general-purpose servers with M.2 support, CT4000P3SSD8T enables fast local storage close to the CPU for boot volumes, application staging, and read-heavy datasets where latency and slot efficiency matter.

Using NVMe 1.3 over PCIe Gen3 x4, CT4000P3SSD8T integrates cleanly into modern motherboard and backplane designs that expose M-key M.2 lanes from the CPU or chipset. Its 3D QLC NAND architecture prioritises density and cost-efficient scaling for warm data, content libraries, and software repositories. With up to 3,500 MB/s sequential read and up to 3,000 MB/s sequential write, the drive supports responsive provisioning workflows, while endurance of 800 TBW (0.11 DWPD over 5 years) aligns with read-centric duty cycles.

Why Choose the CT4000P3SSD8T?

The CT4000P3SSD8T provides a practical density-to-performance profile for environments that need to maximise usable terabytes in M.2-capable nodes, lab servers, or edge systems. CT4000P3SSD8T supports scalable fleet deployment where predictable NVMe behaviour and low-touch installation simplify maintenance, and its 1.5 million hours MTTF helps align with enterprise uptime planning for non-mission-critical tiers.

Crucial applies disciplined NAND qualification and controller/firmware validation to deliver consistent storage behaviour aligned with contemporary data centre and workstation standards. For architects standardising on PCIe Gen3 NVMe, CT4000P3SSD8T offers a stable integration path for capacity expansion and OS/application placement, noting that hardware encryption is not supported.

Key Applications:

• Boot and OS volumes on M.2-capable systems
• Read-heavy content libraries
• Application staging and deployment repositories
• Warm datasets for analytics and indexing
