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

Great product. Installed easily into my Dell Inspiron 7786. Breathed new life into my laptop after the HDD failed. Now the laptop is running faster than ever, and gaming with Bethesda Skyrim is flawless at highest resolution. Exceptionally pleased with performance.

Very fast drive once you turn on cache in the app. Boot time is a tiny bit better than a ssd. You still have to get past Bios and windows pre load junk. But once windows get past log in screen wow! This P5 flys, only thing i hope they fix in a bios update for the p5 is temps. I have mainboard heatsink on it and it still runs at 50c. Compaired to a slower Blue western digital drive that run 30c.

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$

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.

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.

I use this plainly just for more reliable storage and it does exactly what I expect it to do. There is nothing wrong with this product, remember to initiate the drive in Windows with Disk Manager to assign the SSD a drive letter and such.

I upgraded the stock NVME SSD for this fast and bigger capacity drive. I am extremely happy with the performance my gaming laptop has now. I’m glad I can always coins on Crucial for good quality parts for my computers. I’ve been using them for years now and none of them fail.

As bootable device is perfect (less than 5 sec. paired with the rest of components in photo 2). Great speeds and response. 100% compatible with ASUS TUF H470 Pro (Wifi). Because its a NVMe drive you dont have to sacrifice the SATA port which shares bandwith. Im very happy with it. You have to be very careful when you make service with the I/O shield for M.2.

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!

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.
