Entry-level Gen4 storage for compatible systems
The Crucial E100 480GB CT480E100SSD8 provides internal NVMe storage for compatible computers with an M.2 2280 PCIe slot. It is positioned as an accessible upgrade from an HDD or SATA SSD for everyday system, application and file storage.
Exact 480GB profile
This capacity is rated at 4,700MB/s read and 2,500MB/s write rather than the higher figures used by larger E100 variants.
Gen4 NVMe connection
PCIe 4.0 NVMe provides a direct motherboard storage interface for compatible M.2 systems.
Random performance
The exact 480GB model is rated at up to 350K random-read and 460K random-write IOPS.
100TBW endurance
The published endurance rating supports routine consumer storage workloads within the warranty terms.
Drive management features
TRIM, SMART, active garbage collection and error correction are included in the supplied feature set.
Three-year support
Crucial backs the E100 with a three-year limited warranty or the published TBW limit, whichever occurs first.
Who is the Crucial E100 480GB best for?
A strong choice for
- Replacing an HDD or SATA SSD in a compatible system
- Entry-level PCIe Gen4 builds
- Everyday applications and file storage
- A compact M.2 2280 upgrade
- Users needing the exact 480GB capacity
Consider another model if you need
- Your system lacks an M.2 PCIe NVMe slot
- You need a 2.5-inch SATA drive
- You require higher endurance than 100TBW
- You need the performance profile of a larger E100 capacity
