Crucial P5 2TB 3D NAND NVMe Internal Gaming SSD, up to 3400MB/s - CT2000P5SSD8

Did not realise that you need to source your own screw to install the SSD in the laptop. However, once a screw was eventually found, the drive was installed easily and worked fine. Significantly quicker load times across the board compared to the original HDD in the laptop.

Ive had this for a few months and I can say its a really good buy. Even better when you buy it on sale. As you would expect of a Gen 3 NVMe, this thing allows you to boot OS, start applications, do file transfers at really fast rates. ^_^

I didnt have the screw and it didnt come with one when I purchased the ssd. They could include the screw and charge 30 cents for it. Overall does the job.

My main options were the Samsung Evo pro m.2 drives but they were much more expensive than this. I have never used a Crucial product so I was going out on a whim and now I wish I bough the 1TB instead. Installing programs, booting windows and transferring items to and from this drive is lightning fast. If you want to save a buck from other products but get similar (if not the same) performance then buy this.

This is my first M.2, upon reading reviews and doing a little research I decided on Crucial and I do NOT regret my decision!!! I’ll likely be picking up another one because what’s better than 1 2TB Crucial SSD??? 2 of them. I run my OS and my biggest game on mine. Use 2TB Seagate for storage.

This is the second Crucial product Ive bought for my Dell computer and Im loving both of them. First was a 16 GB ram stick, easy to install, and instantly improved my computers performance. This 500 GB SSD was easy to install and Crucial has the program (free) to clone my current hard drive to the SSD. No Problem and the computer is really fast. Im a photographer so all my photos and videos will be kept on the old HDD. The O/S and apps will be on the new SSD. Six months later and this review still stands! Best computer upgrade Ive ever made.

I am using this as external storage for my PS4 games on my PS5. The 1 TB size is perfect for me as I can store all of the games I am currently playing with room to spare. The drive seems to allow for very fast read and write speeds. I was able to transfer God of War in a little over a minute. I have experienced a game freeze while playing Miles Morales but I don’t believe it had anything to do with the drive as this game was uploaded to the PS5 internal SSD.

I did manage to grab the 1TB version for a really good price. For the price, it performs really well as you can see from the Crystal Disk Mark screenshot. I did install an EK heatsink on the drive, and the drive doesnt go above 54C when moving large chunk of data or benchmarking the drive. I would definitely grab another one soon !

One of the first things to know about the Crucial P5 NVMe drive is that Crucial is made by Micron (of Idaho), one of the leading memory chip makers in the world. Theyve been a consistent top performer for decades. Most of all, unlike other brands, you can know that all Crucial products consistently use Micron chips, so you can expect consistent, high performance results. (Brands switching the chips in their SSDs is an industry problem at the time of this writing) The P5 drive - the top performer in their line - is designed for gaming, number crunching, video and other workstation tasks, so it was an easy choice for my system that would be doing all of that. And it didnt disappoint. The build quality is excellent. It installed easily and has performed without a hitch since Day One. If youre coming from anything less than a different high performance NVMe (and there are a couple of solid competitors), you WILL notice the zippy load times and data transfer times. Another nice feature - likely because Crucial is using their own chips - is that the price is very good for the size and performance of the drive. It isnt dirt cheap, but it can be less than equally performing NVMe drives from big-name competitors. Personally, I bundled this with Ballistix RAM and have been very, very pleased with the flawless performance.
