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

Easy to install, ordered wrong one at first ,( you need the nvme not the m.2 -The m.2 will have 2 notches, the nvme has only one notch )you can see the old 250 gb on right & just loosen 8 screws on bottom of laptop, pry apart the bottom from the case carefully like opening a clam :) you see the empty spot upper right where it goes. just a pocket screwdriver that you use for the bottom plate screws is the same as the single one for the harddrive they dont strip if you have a good one. I used a flathead pocket screw driver to pry apart the case & bottom. if you really wanted you could upgrade the ram for $50 but i think 8 gb is fine for home & small buisness use. Shopping, school, using our stores remote cameras, teamviewer ect this laptop is great & the only ones avail right now are the 250 GB ones so this is a great upgrade! Go into the bios, disable secure boot & made a bootable zip from microsoft & then installed linux mint for dual boot.

So far so good with this little stick of gum. Read speeds of 3400/mbps and write of 1700/mbps(250GB model). Upgraded from an mx500(sata) and although the difference is less tangible than going from hdd to ssd its still faster. From 1 minute boot times on hdd to 8-12 second boot times on the mx500 and now Im seeing 5-6 second boot times with this one. Its running exactly as it should.

Es una excelente forma de potenciar tu computador viejo o nuevo con disco HDD, de manera que permite inicializar el windows, juegos y demás programas de manera rápida y eficaz, disminuyendo tiempos de carga y tiempos de actualización.

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.

Been using the SSD as my boot drive on an iMac for the past year, and this has been absolutely amazing. Superb speeds, on par if not superior than the Samsung or WD, being fractions cheaper. Well done Crucial. Great deal.

I was nearly out of storage on my Samsung 980 Pro that I use for my boot drive and programs, and wanted to download more games. I came looking for an M.2 NVME drive that was 2TB since I only have one more M.2 slot on my motherboard. Given that all I was doing is gaming, there was no need to spend the money on a PCIe 4.0 drive when a 3.0 is plenty fast for gaming. Plus, at a price of $195, there was no other option. So far the drive has been great. It was instantly recognized by my BIOS and I had no issues formatting the drive. I have now moved all of my Steam, Epic Games, and Origin libraries to this drive, and still have 1.6 TB to go. Very pleased with this SSD.

This is my first M.2, upon reading reviews and doing a little research I decided on Crucial and I do NOT regret my decision!!! I’ll likely be picking up another one because what’s better than 1 2TB Crucial SSD??? 2 of them. I run my OS and my biggest game on mine. Use 2TB Seagate for storage.

What I learned so far: Watch the price of this: it dropped $10 dollars the day after I ordered it (I cancelled & re-ordered it.) The screw to attach it SHOULD have come with your system. It doesnt come with the SSD because there are too many versions. Do use a magnetized screwdriver to attach it. Dont go King Kong on it. The Acronis free Clone program does work, but it is a SLOW, slow process... be very patient. The last step to disconnect the original source drive.... Im NOT doing that! Instead, use your BIOS to set the new SSD as the FIRST boot drive and remove any HDD references (leave DVD & USB boots as alternates) Then use DRIVE Manager to set sames and drive letters. The Crucial Executive Storage Tool; used it to increase speed and efficiency. Did not have any issues with it, although you can bollox things up if you ignore the warning... read the instructions! This is not cutting edge tech so its not for super-gamers, but its a solid performer from a respected company. In a few days, once I have some backups of the new boot drive I trust, Ill reformat the original 1Tb HDD as a data drive. Danger, Danger... Ignore my suggestion to not remove the Source Drive!! ALL Internal HDDs must be disconnected so the system will set the SSD as Drive 0 & as Primary on first boot! Before the next boot the HDDs can be reconnected. Doing otherwise created a FrankenSystem, booting from the original 0 Drive then loading the OS from the SSD.... APPEARS TO WORK, but it is wrong..

I upgraded my Dell G3 3779 laptop by replacing the original C: drive, a SK hynix 128 GB SSD, with this Crucial P5 1TB. Higher performance and much greater capacity. I used a USB 3.1 NVMe PCIe enclosure (amazon # B07MNFH1PX) to clone the SSD to the P5. I used the clone function from a free copy of Macrium Reflect rather than the Crucial version of Acronis True Image because Acronis requires installation of the new SSD before doing a clone & Macrium allowed me to do the clone prior to opening the laptop. Macrium also allowed for an easy resize of the main ssd partition to allow full use of the larger space. The install was pretty painless and the machine booted from the new drive immediately following the install. No problems & very happy with the result. I had verified compatibility via the Crucial configuration tool on their web site before ordering via Amazon. Crystal disk mark verified the drive met its published specs.

Excelente producto, fácil de instalar, me funcionó tanto para el sistema operativo de mi laptop como esclavo para aumentar la capacidad de almacenamiento. Su velocidad es realmente sorprendente, 1000% recomendado.
