It’s alright “cons” for this one is that you need to buy a separate heatsink… I rather get the Corsair MP600 PRO LX with no needing of a separate heatsink because it’s already attached and the price is little cheaper and the read speeds is @ 6500+ vs this crucial at 5600mbps… do yourself a favor and get the Corsair MP600 pro LX with much better speeds and comes with heatsink and little cheaper too. Look at the picture I included of the speed with the Corsair MP600 pro LX 1TB.. I also got a top heatsink along and looks nicer instead of thee original top heatsink.

If you are going to get a Crucial NVMe drive, please get this P5 Plus model; you will see multiple reviews listing issues with the less expensive P5 model. I have purchased two of the 1TB P5 Plus models, and I installed one in a desktop and one in a laptop. However, neither the desktop nor the laptop must be PCIe Gen 4 compatible because my read/write speeds were only half of Crucial's claimed "up to 6600MB/s sequential reads" and "up to 5000MB/s sequential writes" (see attached images of CrystalDiskInfo stats for each system). For most users with a one-to-three-year-old computer that has a M.2 2280 slot, your average maximum is going to be 3000MB/s read/write. If you have a brand new, high end system that is confirmed to have a PCIe Gen 4 M.2 2280 slot, then you may very well reach the mythical 6600MB/s numbers that Crucial advertises. Will the average user be able to tell the difference between 3000MB/s and 6600MB/s? Probably not; the P5 Plus is crazy-fast either way. However, if stats matter to you and you are buying this drive in hopes of reaching Crucial's advertised maximums, be sure your system is PCIe Gen 4 ready. Also, if you plan on putting this drive in a desktop, Crucial's included screw is useless; the screw's threads and head are too small to secure the drive to a desktop board. Please make sure your desktop board has the right screw before attempting an install. While Crucial's screw did work in the laptop, the head of the screw is still a bit small; Crucial should include a screw with a larger head for a more secure fit. I am giving this product four out of five stars; Crucial should disclose the realistic read/write speeds for most users and not just the PCIe Gen 4 speeds, and the included screw is trash. Nevertheless, this drive is fast and works amazingly well in Windows 10.

Really like the improvement in speed these give. Took a long time to get rid of my hard drives but the snappiness of these is great
