Crucial E100 1TB NVMe SSD
1TBPCIe Gen4 NVMeUp to 5000MB/sM.2 2280
The Crucial E100 1TB, part number CT1000E100SSD8, is a value-oriented internal M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe solid state drive with reads up to 5,000MB/s, an easy, affordable upgrade for desktops and laptops from Crucial, the consumer brand of memory maker Micron. It uses Micron 3D NAND in a compact single-sided design with adaptive thermal protection.
With sequential reads up to 5,000MB/s and writes up to 4,500MB/s, the E100 is several times faster than a SATA SSD for boot, application loading and file transfers, while staying cool and efficient. Carrying EAN 0649528946157 and MPN CT1000E100SSD8, it fits most modern M.2 NVMe slots and includes a 3-year limited warranty with 600 TBW endurance. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility note
The E100 needs an M.2 2280 (80mm) slot with an NVMe PCIe interface. For full Gen4 speeds use a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot; it is backward compatible with PCIe Gen3 at reduced speed. The single-sided design fits slim laptops and most desktop boards, and adaptive thermal protection helps it run in systems with passive cooling. It will not work in SATA-only M.2 slots, and this model does not include hardware encryption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Crucial E100 1TB work in my laptop or desktop?
Yes, if your device has an M.2 2280 slot with an NVMe PCIe interface. Its single-sided design suits slim laptops, mini PCs and most desktop boards. It does not fit SATA-only M.2 slots, and full Gen4 speeds need a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot (it still works in Gen3 at reduced speed).
How much faster is the E100 than a SATA SSD?
Much faster for sequential work. A SATA SSD tops out around 550MB/s, while the E100 reaches up to 5,000MB/s reads, so large file copies, game loading and boot are dramatically quicker. For light everyday tasks the difference is smaller but still noticeable.
Who makes the Crucial E100, and is it reliable?
Crucial is the consumer brand of Micron, one of the world’s major memory and flash manufacturers, so the E100 uses first-party Micron 3D NAND. It is a value Gen4 drive with a 600 TBW endurance rating and a 3-year warranty.
What do I need to know before buying the E100 1TB?
Confirm you have a free M.2 2280 NVMe slot and a way to clone or reinstall your operating system. It is a value, single-sided drive rated for 600 TBW with a 3-year warranty and adaptive thermal protection; it does not include hardware encryption.
Singular Expert Insight
The Crucial E100 is a sensible value Gen4 NVMe drive with a reassuring pedigree: it comes from Crucial/Micron and uses first-party NAND, with a generous 600 TBW endurance rating for its class. At up to 5,000MB/s it is plenty fast for everyday computing and mainstream gaming, and its adaptive thermal protection suits laptops and passively-cooled builds. If you want the highest sustained speeds, a higher-end drive like the WD_BLACK SN7100 is the step up, but for an affordable, reliable upgrade the E100 1TB is a smart pick.
