"Update 8/16/21 5:30am PT: Crucial has swapped out the TLC flash that powered the initial P2 SSD we tested with QLC flash, severely reducing performance. We've written an investigation into that matter, which you can read here [tomshardware.com]".

Cheap + fast = lower quality work
Fast + good = expensive
Good + cheap = not happening anytime soon

Good drive. Have one of these. The problem is that it's not really a slick deal until it gets down to $30-35.
