Crucial P5 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 Gaming SSD, up to 6600MB/s - CT1000P5PSSD8 Solid State Drive

I recently purchased the Crucial P5 Plus 1TB , and I am thoroughly impressed! This SSD has significantly boosted my gaming and overall system performance. The installation was straightforward, and it fits perfectly in my setup. What I appreciate most is its reliability. I've experienced zero issues since installing it, and the load times for games and applications are lightning-fast. For the performance and quality you get, the Crucial P5 Plus is worth every penny. I highly recommend this one!

The speed is very fast.I tried transferring data from the old ssd to the new ssd without the heatsink attached.Its temperature gradually increases up to 70 degrees Celsius. I removed the old radiator attached to it and it dropped to 53 degrees Celsius.When I copy data from the old drive to the new drive, the maximum speed is 344mb/s. And I copied it back and the old drive had a maximum speed of 360 mb/s. I don't understand why it's a little slower than the old drive. One special thing is that it only has two large horizontal memory chips and one smaller vertical chip.I checked the old data drive and it had 8 memory chips.As far as I know, the more memory chips, the bandwidth increases many times.Next time I choose an SSD I will pay more attention to this.Maybe this is why it is cheaper than other brands.

Added this SSD based on Crucial's recommended match to my 2022 HP Omen 15 gaming laptop. The SSD was an easy install in the HP Omen; removed 8 screws, popped the bottom cover off, unscrewed the cover over the 2nd SSD slot, slide the Crucial 1TB P5 Plus SSD into the slot and reassembled the covers. Powered on the laptop, new SSD was recognized in the disk manager, did a quick format and was in business with an extra 1TB of storage to go with the 500GB that came with the laptop. From start to finish, it took less than 10 minutes. If you need help, like I did, there are numerous YouTube videos showing how to DYI. SSD is working fine as a secondary drive, which I am using to store my games on. No issues, fully recommend this SSD from Crucial.

I use this m.2 ssd for my MacBook Pro 15 inch 2015 and it works very well. It’s an upgrade that will make your device feel much more snappy and improves loading times. Keep in mind that in order to get this working you will need an m.2 adapter as these versions of MacBook pros come with a proprietary port. KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT ALL M.2 ssds are supported by these MacBooks but this specific drive is.

Llevo usándolo un par de años, y funciona a la perfeccion

I purchased this for extra storage since my gaming rig only has a 500 GB hard drive with the OS installed on it. This was easy to install but did not come with an installation screw. Make sure you have the screw that originally came with your motherboard, or buy a few extra when you order this. If you’ve never installed a M.5 SSD before, I recommend watching a YouTube video or two before you install. Also check for compatibility on your motherboard manufacturer’s website before hand. Overall this is a good value.

I purchased the SSK enclosure with the Crucial P5 Plus SSD to clone my internal Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD already in my laptop. However, while instructions were easy, the Crucial's Acronis DID NOT recognize my Crucial P5 SSD. Acronis would give me a pop up window that said, "This product edition requires at least one Crucial SSD be installed in your system..." THE TROUBLESHOOTING THAT WENT NOWHERE: I started troubleshooting on my own first. I plugged it into different USB ports and even changed the cable. No luck. Next, I shouldn't have to if Acronis had worked, but I initialized Crucial's SSD via Disk Management as GUID partition table (GPT), I reinstalled the Acronis and restarted my laptop, but the same message happened. Next step, I went back to Disk Management to actually format a partition for Crucial's SSD this time, reinstalled Acronis (that is, uninstall Acronis, restarted laptop, download and installed Acronis from Crucial again, restarted my laptop), opened the Acronis software, and it still did not work. I repeat this again: you SHOULDN'T have to do ANY of this if Acronis from Crucial had detected my Crucial SSD. It could have been my SSK enclosure though, so I can't blame Crucial entirely, but really, it shouldn't have mattered. Anyways... I didn't want to create a boot media if I didn't have to, or further troubleshoot on my precious time on my own because Googling for answers could take longer than expected, so finally, I called Crucial's technical support line. Guess what, this tech guy fell asleep on me. It wasn't even 10 minutes in and he fell asleep, with snoring and all. When I woke him up (I imagine with snot bubbles and all), he groggily repeated the same instructions he last told me to do. If it wasn't so funny, I would be pretty livid. The part I couldn't stand wasn't his thick accent and incoherent sleep mumble, it was his fan's background noise. I couldn't ask him to turn the dumb thing off and bake in the heat, so I finally said, "Sir, no offense, but I don't think you can help me in any capacity at this moment. Your background noise is driving me nuts and I'm just guessing half the things you're saying. So, have a good day." Meanwhile, I'm clenching my fists hard to keep from going off on him. WHAT FINALLY WORKED, and IT WON'T WORK FOR YOU UNLESS YOU OWN A SUPPORTED PRODUCT ALREADY: About 5+ years ago, I got an external Western Digital hard drive. I remember that Western Digital also used Acronis as well. And since it is was specifically an external hard drive, it means it already has some files or partition that made the computer recognize it as a Western Digital hard drive (and no, I don't mean just naming the drive Western Digital). So I got the idea to use Western Digital's Acronis and give it a try. I did a quick Google for "Western Digital Acronis," clicked on the link to it, and downloaded Western Digital's Acronis. Then I had to uninstall Crucial's Acronis first (or else Western Digital's Acronis won't install), restarted my laptop, and then installed Western Digital's Acronis. When that was done, I connected my external Western Digital hard drive as well as Crucial's SSD in the SSK enclosure. I started up Western Digital's Acronis, and that FINALLY worked. Finally got into the software. Last step was just click Settings, Clone, Choose Source Drive, Choose Destination Drive, and Proceed. The cloning was done in less than 15 minutes. Installed the new Crucial's SSD into the laptop and booted up the laptop with no problems at all. I didn't have to mess with any BIOS at all, and there were zero error messages. CONCLUSION: I am disappointed that Crucial's Acronis did not recognize its own product. It was frustrating, but I was lucky to remember my external Western Digital hard drive was just lying around somewhere and improvised. To be fair though, it COULD possibly be the SSK enclosure that made it not work. It should work, but you know... technology always somehow fails due to fine details and glitches. Who knows where it went wrong. What I am unhappy about though is that I spent an extra $30 for Crucial when I could have bought Western Digital, thinking that it would seemingly be a smoother process. I didn't care I was throwing away an extra $30. I seriously have no time to worry about stuff like that. My time is just worth a lot more. But no. It was absolutely not a smoother process. But I'm glad I didn't spend more than an hour on all this from start to finish, including this review/rant. As for speed, I will say that thus far, I cannot tell the difference between this Crucial's P5 and my previous Samsung's P2. The only thing I was surprised about was that the initial startup with the new P5 was faster than I imagined, because initial startup can take a few minutes longer because of the new drive, but then subsequent startups should be just as fast as before. So, it could be the new P5's faster speed. For stability, everything started up no problem, no hitch at all after I installed it into my laptop. I've had no problems with it yet.

Built a PC with this drive as my only storage (for now at least). It’s super quick. I never have to wait more than a few seconds for everyday activities like booting up Windows or loading games. Installation couldn’t have been easier. Just insert it into the slot on a compatible motherboard and secure it with the screw. When I turned on my PC for the first time and was installing Windows from a USB drive, it had no trouble at all recognizing this SSD and installing Windows to it. Overall, this drive is everything I could ask for. Great speed and 1 TB of storage.
