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

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.

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.

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).

This review is an update, as theyre not separating the P5 from P5 plus in reviews. For the non pus model, the product itself is great but there were no nvme screws. I realize most motherboards come with them but at the price tag they could include $1 worth of hardware. Please note the non plus is NOT compatible with a ps5 For the P5 Plus - This is the best budget SSD you can currently get for the PS5. Yes, you will have to get your own heat sink and install that yourself, but that cost is like $10 at the most. you will not find another SSD that even competes at the price, and definitely not one with a heatsink. also ironically, the p5 plus has a screw, just the plain p5 doesnt.

I didnt have the screw and it didnt come with one when I purchased the ssd. They could include the screw and charge 30 cents for it. Overall does the job.

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.

Probably one of the easiest and fastest installs of any peripheral. I installed it and booted my PC with normal boot drive. Then used Windows 10 disk cloning software to just copy my current hard drive to the SSD. Once it was complete I rebooted, and I changed the boot disk to the news SSD and it worked flawlessly. I ran some benchmarks with crystal disk and its sequential read/write is just over 2,000 MB/s if I remember correctly. I’m very satisfied with everything especially considering its price.

my gaming pc works pretty fast with it, so im happy

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.

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.
