![]() It also allows enabling the Crucial Momentum Cache option and setting the Over Provisioning range to adjust the SSD durability vs performance. After a short installation, the Crucial Storage Executive Tool clearly shows which SSDs and hard drives are installed, what the SMART values look like and, as mentioned before, directly updates the firmware if desired. The Crucial Storage Executive Tool download can be found on the Crucial support website. Alternatively, you can still use the classic method to update the firmware: Download the Crucial firmware, unzip the included ISO file, transfer the ISO file to a USB stick with unetbootin (alternatively burn it to a CD or CDRW), boot with the USB stick and the firmware update starts. You can update the SSD’s firmware relatively easily with Crucial’s Storage Executive Tool, but you should, as always, back up important data before updating the firmware. Crucial provides these two firmware versions, P9CR30A for the P3 and P9CR409 for the P3 Plus, as the latest SSD firmware. The P3 SSD was shipped with the P9CR30A or P9CR409 firmware. The NVMe SSDs are also immediately listed in the Windows 11 or Windows 10 device manager under drives.Īfter setting up the Crucial P3 or Crucial P3 Plus 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD test system and the quick installation, we now come to the firmware update. The P3 and P3 Plus SSDs were detected on all systems without any problems and are immediately listed in the UEFI, for example under Advanced in the NVMe Configuration. ![]() Just like the P3 PCIe 3.0 M.2 2280 SSD (without Plus) doesn’t get faster in a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot or even PCIe Gen5 x4 slot than in a PCIe Gen3 x4 slot. The faster M.2 slot doesn’t change the slower SSD interface, however, as the P3 Plus only supports PCIe Gen4 data rates. ![]() Here you can see the P3 Plus PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD, which we were even able to test in an ASRock Blazing M.2 PCIe Gen5 x4 slot. We’ve tested the Crucial P3 vs Crucial P3 Plus NVMe SSD on a wide variety of systems with no problems, most recently here on the latest ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi Intel LGA1700 DDR5 motherboard.
