The P5 Plus might be the best performance-to-price SSD currently available. For gaming, you can't do much better than the P5 Plus. It should certainly be a top-of-the-list consideration for PS5 internal storage expansion. We also love that it is a single-...

The P5 Plus is a very good NVMe SSD, but it's not the bargain that its predecessor was. I still recommend the older drive for PCIe 3 users seeking to save money, but at the time of this writing, the more consistent-performing Samsung 980 Pro is priced low...

Slows down on very long writes
The P5 Plus is a very good NVMe SSD, but it's not the bargain that its predecessor was. I still recommend the older drive for PCIe 3 users seeking to save money, but at the time of this writing, the more consistent-performing Samsung 980 Pro is priced low...
Random 4K performance lacking,Load times and real-world performance slow
The Crucial P5 Plus is getting long in the tooth. It still represents a simple solution for expanding your storage, however, there are several superior PCIe 4.0 picks out there that'll do a better job. Elsewhere you'll find better random 4K and sequential...
Abstract: The Crucial P5 Plus is a budget PS5 SSD that looks to rival some of the cheaper options for internal console storage in 2023. However, with sequential performance that falls behind the majority of the competition, this is one drive that can't quite be con...
Performance at deeper queue depths, Couldn’t match the official random write figures under testing, Needs a PCIe 4.0 supporting motherboard for best performance,
While PCIe 4.0 SSDs have been around for over two years at this point, Crucial has been biding its time and has now joined the party with the P5 Plus.The drive uses Micron's latest NAND, the world's first 176-layer 3D TLC NAND. The B47R NAND uses Micron's...
The Crucial P5 was popular because it represented good value, even if it wasn't the quickest NVMe drive around, and the P5 Plus looks to fill the same niche.Having seen some remarkably quick drives, like the incredible Seagate FireCuda 530, this was never...

Although the Crucial P5 Plus lags behind the Samsung 980 PRO for raw reading speeds and small file access, it is faster for writing, and outperforms in the PC Mark 10 storage benchmarks as well. The Samsung drive is admittedly one of the fastest SSDs you...
Abstract: Solid-state drives (SSDs) have come a long way in recent years: a long way up in speed and capacity, and a long way down in price. Technology that was previously reserved for enterprise customers and the PC performance elite has gained the common touch, w...
