The Crucial P3 solid state drive series is on sale for Cyber Monday, and that includes the super high capacity 4TB drive going for just $259.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab). This is the lowest price ever on the 4TB drive. It was selling for as much as $350 in August and has more recently sold for around $325. We’ve never seen it go below $290.
The Crucial P3 isn’t new. In fact, the newest generation is the Crucial P5, which is also on sale for Cyber Monday. However, the P5 doesn’t even come in a 4TB capacity yet and even the 2TB version on sale costs as much as $160. What we’re talking about here is *storage* not speed (but definitely with some speed). If you already have a really fast modern SSD like the WD_BLACK SN850X, you might need a secondary one with some breathing space. The 4TB version of that drive costs nearly $600.
The P3 is obviously not going to be as fast as the latest SSDs, but you still can get read/write times up to 3,500 MB/s. That’s insanely fast compared to other drives normally used for their high capacity storage, like a regular hard drive. Plus the Crucial P3 is very durable and can handle a lot of work with an MTTF greater than 1.5 million hours.

Heck, the Cyber Monday deals have been so good you could even build your own PC for less than $800 that’s capable of playing games at a high level.
