SSD Crucial E100 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCe Gen4x4 Tray - CT1000E100SSD8-T

Crucial E100 1TB is an M.2 NVMe SSD aimed at mid-range and budget gaming/productivity builds, where you want a noticeable upgrade over SATA and older PCIe Gen3 storage. It operates on PCIe NVMe 4.0 and fits into a standard M.2 2280 slot, so it fits in most modern motherboards and laptops. The combination of 1TB capacity and speeds up to 5000MB/s read and 3000MB/s write is more than enough for fast boot, game loading, and everyday work. The black design and lack of RGB make it a simple, practical option for a clean build without unnecessary lights.

What you get

With a capacity of 1TB, you can comfortably store the operating system, your favorite few heavy games, plus a set of programs and work files, without immediately thinking about a second disk. With up to 5000MB/s read speed, your system starts faster, game levels load noticeably lighter, and large projects and archives open in seconds. The write speed of up to 3000MB/s helps when moving large files, 4K video, or working with heavy archives and installations. The 3D NAND TLC technology provides a good balance between speed, durability, and price – exactly what you're looking for in a primary system disk or fast storage for games.

• 1TB capacity – enough space for Windows, several large AAA titles, plus work and multimedia software, without immediately filling the storage.
• PCIe NVMe 4.0 interface – significantly higher bandwidth compared to SATA and older NVMe Gen3 solutions, accelerating the entire workflow.
• Form factor M.2 2280 – standard size supported by widely distributed motherboards and many modern laptops.
• Read speed up to 5000MB/s – provides fast loading of the operating system, programs, and games, so you don't wait unnecessarily.
• Write speed up to 3000MB/s – convenient for working with large files, installations, archiving, and data transfer.
• 3D NAND TLC memory – balances reliability and price, making it a good choice for everyday use, gaming, and work.
• 36 months warranty – three years of peace of mind for your main storage component.

Who it's suitable for

This SSD is a good choice if you're building a budget or mid-range gaming computer, upgrading from an old HDD/SATA SSD, or looking for a stable system disk for everyday work and study. It's also suitable for lighter creative tasks and office machines, where the speed of opening and writing is important, but you're not chasing the highest possible numbers on the market. If you need massive storage for heavy video editing or professional projects with huge files, you'll probably think about larger capacity or an additional disk.

The most sensible thing here is the combination of PCIe 4.0 speeds, 1TB capacity, and a reasonable, practical design without unnecessary extras – just a stable NVMe disk that makes your system noticeably faster.
