Crucial E100 CT1000E100SSD8 1 TB

A family of balanced internal SSDs with capacities ranging from 480GB to 2TB, featuring an M.2 connector, support for PCIe Gen4 x4 interface (NVMe 1.4), and quad-level cell (QLC) 3D NAND memory. The devices in the series are designed as standard M.2 modules with a 2280 form factor and single-sided component mounting, making them suitable for compact builds. The Crucial E100 CT1000E100SSD8 supports adaptive thermal protection technology and can efficiently operate in systems with passive cooling components.

The manufacturer positions it as an affordable mid-range product designed for gaming systems, versatile home/office PCs, and entry-level workstations (excluding heavy write scenarios). The SSD exhibits impressive peak read/write speeds (5000/4500 MB/s) and low latency. It can provide ultra-fast boot times for operating systems, browsers with numerous cached tabs, resource-intensive applications, and modern games. An unbuffered, four-channel, dual-core Silicon Motion SM2268XT controller, working in conjunction with 232-layer 3D QLC NAND memory from SpecTek (memory may vary depending on the version of the drive), supports Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology and high-speed SLC write caching.
