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

Since my five year old PC with an I7-6700 processor still had the computing power and a goof enough for photo hobbyist graphics card in it, I decided to use this 500GB SSD as my primary drive and my original 1TB HDD as my storage drive to speed up loading programs and throughput. Since the M.2 connector on my old motherboard was only a X1 speed, I also bought a PCIe adapter which had a X4 M.2 slot to use more of the SSDs speed potential. Installation was not difficult. Moving data was tedious. End result was that my PC runs much more quickly - hopefully postponing replacing the entire PC for a few more years.

Has been working well with no issues so far.

I probably should have known this, but there are no supporting screws to secure this drive to the motherboard. I had to scrounge around my garage to find the smallest screw possible. Not a very professional job, but it works.

I installed this SSD in my Lenovo A40 all-in-one pc and it improved the speed tremendously. I also added 4 gb of memory for a total of 8gb. In now boots in less than 10 seconds!! In my ratings for Tech Support & Gaming, I gave it a 3, because I dont do gaming and I didnt need tech support, and there was no opportunity to choose Not Applicable, so those can be ignored.

el m.2 llego en buen estado y funciona de maravilla, es muy rapido y ejecuta las aplicaciones y juegos muy rapido

As bootable device is perfect (less than 5 sec. paired with the rest of components in photo 2). Great speeds and response. 100% compatible with ASUS TUF H470 Pro (Wifi). Because its a NVMe drive you dont have to sacrifice the SATA port which shares bandwith. Im very happy with it. You have to be very careful when you make service with the I/O shield for M.2.

Bought a new laptop and needed a larger NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD. This fit the bill. Crucial is made my Micron, one of, if not the best memory manufacturer out there. So no issues with quality here. This device is lighting quick and has tons of storage. One issue I had wasnt with the SSD itself but the software Crucial recommends--Acronis True Image. Got it for free because, hey, Crucial SSD. Welp, it did not recognize I had a Crucial SSD when it was either in a NVMe USB-C enclosure or in the laptop itself. I had to use different software to clone everything. Now its all done and things are great!

Very fast. Had some inconsistent performance at first. Read reviews about thermal throttling so I purchased one of the heat sinks with heat pipes and a PWM fan on it. Extremely fast and no issues anymore. DO yourself a favor and make sure you have good cooling and this thing will fly. It is nice not having to worry about space anymore.

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.

I dont use this for gaming, but I do a lot of engineering drawing work and video editing. It is really nice to have the extra space for work, and the extra speed. I never needed support - just drop it into the slot, tighten the screws, and set up the drive.
