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

Been using the SSD as my boot drive on an iMac for the past year, and this has been absolutely amazing. Superb speeds, on par if not superior than the Samsung or WD, being fractions cheaper. Well done Crucial. Great deal.

super fast and with space to spare. I got it mainly to remove the mechanical drive, as i had a 512GB SSD which i replaced with this, and because it is PCI express while my old ssd is sata

If you already have a SATA SSD, this drive isnt going to blow you away, especially for games. The scenarios where you will see the most benefit are from sequential transactions such as reading and writing large files. You will get a noticeable improvement all around, but the difference will be minor. Also, no screws are included. I dont see why they couldnt include at least one screw and standoff. I had to buy a mounting set because my motherboard didnt come with any.

This NVME has been amazing for me and offers much faster speeds than my slow mechanical hard drive. It has been great for my use as my gaming drive and storing my larger games on there. Definitely recommend, especially if you can get it for the $80 like I did!

It helped my boot times to be lowered by around 25%. I was using a 2.5 Sata Ssd before, and the difference is noticeable to say the least

So far so good with this little stick of gum. Read speeds of 3400/mbps and write of 1700/mbps(250GB model). Upgraded from an mx500(sata) and although the difference is less tangible than going from hdd to ssd its still faster. From 1 minute boot times on hdd to 8-12 second boot times on the mx500 and now Im seeing 5-6 second boot times with this one. Its running exactly as it should.

I bought this and had it the next day and popped it in no problem ... aside from the fact that I had to dig through my random spare parts box to find a screw. I copied all my files from my smaller m.2 to this one at 1.0 gbps and so far no issues. Just so lame it doesnt come with a screw.

Ive owned many ssds and not necessarily nvmes for a while. I have devices with them, but I used this drive to install in my brothers pc setup. After roughly 20-26 days, my brother experienced some very odd stuff. The drive would suddenly say it had used 900 gb/1 tb. Afterwards windows would prevent him from logging in and it threw an error stating he was typing the wrong pin. What it turned out to be was the beginning of a failing drive. After we reformatted and cloned the drive again from new, we again tried to use the drive. This time we went through multiple BSODs and never got into windows again. I tried a long time before I hated to admit this, but the drive failed. I tried to find like 20 other things as the issue until I decided to call it quits. So I had someone buy a new drive for us which I will not name at this time (otherwise its like I am shilling for another company). So far the other drive works perfectly and I doubt it will happen again, but if it crashes after 20-26 days, Ill be back here to raise the star rating. Overall, I bet the drive is great, but I wasted a lot of time and effort helping my brother which would have been nice if the drive did not fail. I will boost the rating if the new drive fails as then it would be fair, but at this state I believe I am being fair with the review.

first time getting an NVMe form factor and did not realize they do not come with a stand screw. you will have to purchase the stand separately if you did not get your mobos provided one (if provided at all). also worth pointing out that this is the same speed as any other SSD, but the form factor is different. an m.2 NVMe is what youre looking for if expecting faster speeds.

the software that came with the drive made my life easier, I copied from a standard ssd drive the whole system as it is to this drive. (I know its not recommended to do it that way but Im lazy).
