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

I installed this SSD in my Lenovo A40 all-in-one pc and it improved the speed tremendously. I also added 4 gb of memory for a total of 8gb. In now boots in less than 10 seconds!! In my ratings for Tech Support & Gaming, I gave it a 3, because I dont do gaming and I didnt need tech support, and there was no opportunity to choose Not Applicable, so those can be ignored.

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.

Coming from a traditional Samsung SSD which I thought was fast this absolutely ousts it! I made this my C: drive and put a fresh install of windows 10 on it. Id say from off to fully loaded takes about 10 - 15 seconds. There are never any hiccups and daily use is snappy and buttery smooth.

Purchased this M2 module to replace my Boot Drive that I was fast outgrowing and needed more space. Installation and duplicating my C Drive took some time, but was easy. So far, 3-weeks since installation, it is working great and its about 4X faster than my previous 2.5 SSD drive.

I have only had the issue of Windows Explorer restarting and not being able to use mouse pad or keyboard shortcut to shut down laptop twice. Ever since the second time it happened I have not had the problem again. I am studying to be an IT Technician in College and have a bit of technical experience with laptops and desktops over the years. I would recommend this to others. If you are following the same type of path I am then it will be easy for you to install as well. Just make sure you use Acronis software to clone your hard drive after you install it in a laptop or desktop. You can use a USB to connect you old hard drive to clone it. I would also like to mention dont use easeuse software because it will damage your new hard drive.

At first I didn’t think this ssd would make a difference in my laptop performance. When the ssd got delivered, I installed it in my laptop. Install was easy. I then did a speed test, after I had set everything to be working, and man, there was a big difference in speed. My laptop is now booting in seconds. Games load faster. The whole Windows os feels faster. I really recommend this ssd, it’s worth the 60$

Es una excelente forma de potenciar tu computador viejo o nuevo con disco HDD, de manera que permite inicializar el windows, juegos y demás programas de manera rápida y eficaz, disminuyendo tiempos de carga y tiempos de actualización.

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 !

Good value for the money. The only issue with the drive that I can find is that it runs rather hot--even at idle. Since I installed the drive in a Dell Optiplex 7050 MT, I added a heat sink to it, and it dropped the temps 11 - 12C. Since adding the heat sink, the drive has not gone over 47C, which is reasonable. No throttling or freezing at that temperature. The performance, even over a SATA SSD, is exceptional.

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.
