The P3 Plus 4TB drive from Crucial is a good product to consider when aiming mostly at high-capacity and less on the speed, performing well as a mainstream drive. We noted that it does not get as hot as its 2TB counterpart but does still require placement in a well-ventilated chassis and covered by a heatsink provided by the computer motherboard. Using such drive in a laptop will surely max out the temperatures and besides a shorter lifespan, the drive will also perform less than desired, due to throttling.
