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.

While the drive didnt include any M.2 mounting hardware like a screw and standoff, I was using this drive to upgrade my laptop that already had all the necessary mounts, screws and heat spreader. The top surface is covered by a sticker that DOES NOT conduct heat. If you use a heat spreader, REMOVE THE STICKER. Picked it up on sale for a very good price, and I am satisfied with my purchase. All 1TB was made available so I could have a boot drive and a game drive.

Very fast. Had some inconsistent performance at first. Read reviews about thermal throttling so I purchased one of the heat sinks with heat pipes and a PWM fan on it. Extremely fast and no issues anymore. DO yourself a favor and make sure you have good cooling and this thing will fly. It is nice not having to worry about space anymore.

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.

This is a very fast and reliable SSD, but be aware it runs hot. IMO a heatsink should be included with this drive, because it gets very toasty in normal day-to-day operation. I bought a cheap heatsink for 10 bucks and now it runs dramatically cooler. Ive owned it for about a year now and have had zero issues. Solid buy recommendation assuming you have a heatsink.

The physical installation of the SSD 1TB was very straightforward enough. However the cloning of the drive and installation as the main drive in a laptop with only 1 available PCIe slot was not as clearly to do. Unlike the many other possible computer configurations that are clearly outlined with the numerous easy to follow videos. My HP 15-ef1003ds laptop required 1 part more reading, 2 parts more of watching videos and 7 parts more guess work, in order to get it running as my primary drive. But in the end it was well worth the extra effort because with the included software that was free I now have faster laptop with a larger capacity drive all at a very reasonable price. And thanks to crucials compatibility program I didnt waste 5 days to only realize that it wasnt going to work for me and instead in under 2 hours I now have what I wanted. You can be sure that when I am ready to upgrade the memory from its current 8gb to its max of 32gb I will be buying crucials 32gb kit without a second of hesitation.

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 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.

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

Since my five year old PC with an I7-6700 processor still had the computing power and a goof enough for photo hobbyist graphics card in it, I decided to use this 500GB SSD as my primary drive and my original 1TB HDD as my storage drive to speed up loading programs and throughput. Since the M.2 connector on my old motherboard was only a X1 speed, I also bought a PCIe adapter which had a X4 M.2 slot to use more of the SSDs speed potential. Installation was not difficult. Moving data was tedious. End result was that my PC runs much more quickly - hopefully postponing replacing the entire PC for a few more years.
