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

Installed in a few years old gaming laptop. Although manufacturer limited hardware to 512GB, this was listed as compatible by Crucial with my laptop and it was. Very fast load times of everything, transfers on and off it also very fast. Future proof as Windows 10 and 11 getting close to 100GB install size (add to that updates). Will upgrade to Windows 11 when Windows 10 support ends in 2025. Ubuntu/Linux not quite there yet but close.

Le doy cuatro estrellas porque en la velocidad de lectura no pasa de 2630MB/s y en velocidad de escritura esta sobre los 3190MB/s

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.

Read / Write speed is very good for this price and longlife time. Recommended.

I put this in a new, custom ITX build. Its on an MSI b450i Gaming Plus Max motherboard with 32GB Crucial RAM and a Ryzen 3 3200g. Installation was easy. Its mounted under the motherboard, so I added extra fans to circulate the air. Again, this is squeezed into a custom case. Before adding the fans, I was reaching about 70 degrees, now I max out at 64, but stay under 60 most of the time. Since this was a new build, I didnt have to transfer data over from a previous drive. I have the 500GB version paired with a 1TB mx500.

Although I have been running SSD only computers for a while, they have always been the standard SATA SSDs, limited to about 550MB/sec transfer rate, which is already very fast when compared to even the fastest SATA HDs. However after researching and watching many review videos, I decided to give the Crucial P5 a shot, and I am extremely glad I did! As you can see in the two uploaded screenshots I have provided, my SATA SSD, (a Crucial MX500 1TB) reads at about 562 MB/sec and writes at about 517 MB/sec. However when running that same test on the Crucial P5 NVME SSD, the read speeds are around 3500 MB/sec and write speed is around 3200 MB/sec! The speed increase is off the charts! I am very happy with my purchase!

I ordered a 1 TB version since it was on sale on Prime Day. The read/write numbers were unacceptably low (in the 1500s). I returned the SSD and asked for a replacement. I received the new one today and just finished cloning it. I got around the same numbers again (see photo). Im giving it one star and will be returning this one for a refund and buying another brand. Update: After reading through the (very) fine print in my motherboard manual, it appears the slot I was using for the drive wasnt compatible with the expected (higher) speed of the drive. I tried putting the drive in a different slot and reran the numbers. Now Ive got even higher than rated speeds (see second picture). Raised the rating to 5 stars.

It works as advertised. I opened it and installed it into my board and it just makes loading games so fast. Games load in 15 secs or less. I have no clue about tech support or how good they are, I haven’t ran into any problems. My specs are Cpu: i9-9900k (not overclocked as of now) GPU: RTX 3060 Gigabyte Eagle dual fan Ram: 32 GB 3200 MHz Crucial ballistix Motherboard: MSI z390 gaming plus

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

Used in my Almalinux system, running KVM single VM and Docker images, fast and stable. Temperature is around 40C with room temperature 33+
