Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent choice for a budget. Used my BestBuy card rewards and was able to get it while on sale for a total of about $80. Using a Sabrent heatsink, we have had no performance or temperature issues. Very easy to install after watching 2 youtube videos.

Picked this up after a lot of research and I couldnt be happier. The price/performance and capacity of the drive was just unbeatable and I’m sure this one will last me a long time.

Impressive read and write speeds. Excellent price point for most users.

Working great so far. The Crucial software worked great to get everything transferred and installed too.

I purchased my Crucial drives to put into a hardware RAID, since my motherboard came with a ROG hardware RAID card and I wanted to get some use of it, and transition to mostly NVME-storage across the board. Drive software like WD "drive" (not so creatively named) and Samsung Magician cannot update firmware or do much of anything with drives in RAID (or if, like me, your mobo defaulted to VOD-on and IRST) ... so Crucials were a good fit. I was looking for a midrange with good specs and good reliability. So far, it seems like I've gotten that, and I have no complaints about the Crucials. Despite not being the most expensive Gen-4s (like Firecuda or Black) I'm getting pretty good specs. I have a second RAID of Samsung 980s (I updated the firmware on a different mobo using SamsungBIOS and then transferred them physically over) and they don't perform much better, though hosting C drive or OS slows any partition ion my experience, even when that Windows it isn't actively in use.

I was quickly running out of space on my Alienware X15 R1 500GB Drive so I install the Crucial P5 Plus 3TB Gen 4 Drive. Crucial's site guaranteed that the Gen 4 Drive would work although it was not suggested by Alienware. I bought a heat sink on Amazon. I removed the MB power connector, then moved the 500GB Drive and Heatsink from Slot 0 to Slot 1. Then I inserted the new 2TB Drive and heatsink in Slot 0. I restored the power connector and powered up. I acknowledged the clock warning as expected, then I partitioned and formatted the new space into two equal partitions. I could not figure out how to get a fresh install on the OS Drive or how to use the Acronis for Crucial to install the OS on the new drive. No instructions. For that I took away one star. Otherwise my laptop works fine.

It was easy to install and clone the boot drive of my new motherboard. Hard to see in the photo as I added a heat sink to further protect the SSD from damage. Its been a week or two and working great. I find the boot time is much less with SSD verses conventional hard drives. Large enough for my computing needs and fast. Cost effective and reliable.

So far, so good. A little dissatisfied with the PS5 read speed of 5652mbps because it’s rated for 6600mbps. Glad it’s still in the PSR recommended mark. Hopefully there may be a future firmware update to take advantage of the quoted speeds. Loaded all my games on this drive and they work perfect with no lag during extended use of play.

Great drive. WIndows boots up in under 10 seconds for me and games load fast as well. Very happy!

Worked perfectly on my PS5. I got a free be quiet heat sink with this purchase and install went very smoothly. I had a $25 Best Buy gift card that was given to me in store for a troublesome return item and also had $20 from AMEX points so after all is said and done I paid $114.74 for this With the heat sink included. You can’t beat that for 2TB on a PS5.

Smoking fast solid state drive. The drive takes full advatange of the 4X4 speeds, this thing just goes!

No issues so far on my PS5. Got the deal where this came with a free heatsink from bequiet.

The Crucial P5 Plus 2TB NVMe SSD is one fast drive that delivers both speed and efficiency to all your games and applications. Easy to install and setup, you are sure to be pleased with the performance this drive provides. With over 6000mbps Read / Write Performance, your games will load up quick and run smoothly. The Crucial P5 is a Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD drive that runs hard and stays cool under pressure.

Hands down, this is the fastest, best bang for your buck you will find in NVMe storage. I'm buying my second 2TB stick now after 5 months of use. Maybe I should be buying 4TB sticks, the way games are trending.. Extra bonus: you can add the heatsink for free! It has been an included deal for months now.

Installed in my ps5. Fast transfer speeds and downloads. Games run great on this drive. Love the free heat sink that come with it too. Fits in nicely and install for both was easy.

This is a great SSD for the price. I was able to snag this 2TB drive for $79.49. I installed the Crucial P5 Plus 2TB drive into my ROG Strix G18 for game storage. This drive performs great. For the price it was a no brainer. Crucial makes good drives, so I know I am in good hands with my data. The speeds on this drive impressed me for what I paid. I would Highly recommend this drive if you want an affordable drive that you know will last.

Great nvme. Speeds are lightning fast, easy to set up, and price can't be beat. Will buy again if I need to

Installed this on my HP Omen17 gaming laptop and its been running great. The laptop initially only came with a 1 tb M.2 drive so adding the extra 2Tb was much needed. I have it as a game drive and so far so good with load times. I never really was one for running benchmarks on these things but if all you want is a plug and play item this is definately the one. I got this on sale for under $100 so if you can find it at that price buy it! Its a great deal!

One of the best values in the market. Gets the job done well. Speeds feel justvas fast as my 980 pro

I bought this for under $200 and for a 2 TB Gen 4 drive, back in Aug 2022, that was a decent deal. It's been solid and stores most of my games. Load speeds are faster than a Gen3 but not hugely different. Recently did a crystaldiskmark test and it performed admirably but of course slower than a Samsung Pro but those do cost a bit more.
