Crucial E100 1 TB (CT1000E100SSD8)

The Crucial E100 is an internal SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor that connects via PCIe 4.0 x4 and operates using the NVMe protocol. It is ideal for fast operating system loading, gaming, and large projects on PCs and laptops with the appropriate slot. The Crucial E100 series is compatible with PCIe Gen4 platforms and backward compatible with Gen3—the drive will function correctly on Gen3 but its speed will be limited by the interface capabilities. Available capacities are 480 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. The 480 GB version delivers sequential speeds up to 4700 MB/s for reads and up to 2500 MB/s for writes. The 1 TB and 2 TB versions offer up to 5000 MB/s for reads and up to 4500 MB/s for writes, which is beneficial when copying large files, installing games, and working with application caches. The drive has no built-in heatspreader, so during sustained workloads it is advisable to rely on case ventilation or the motherboard's standard M.2 thermal solutions. The dimensions follow the 2280 standard: approximately 80 mm in length, 22 mm in width, approximately 2.3 mm in thickness, and approximately 24 g in weight, making installation easier in thin laptops and compact systems. The Crucial E100 can be used as a system drive or as fast storage for your game library and working data, with support for drive health monitoring via SMART and standard NVMe features for reliable operation.
