Waiting for the 1TB version
Still could be faster
Not as fast when reading and writing incompressible data
Does not support hardware based encryption
Performance Compared To The P1 Model
Low PCMark 10 overall score
A step behind the Crucial P5 in most performance respects
So-so price-to-performance ratio
Slow large file transfers

Given the four-times more storage space versus the previously reviewed P2 model from Crucial, the 2TB version comes with quite a bit of increased durability involving writes (600 TBW) and a limited warranty of 5 years. The Phison PS5013-E13 controller fea...

The Crucial P2 SSD is a clear winner if we compare it to other, less expensive M.2 PCIe SSDs. It may not be the fastest, but offers respectable performance, which should satisfy most users. It's also a perfect upgrade for those who purchased a laptop with...

The P2 offers performance improvements over the entry-level P1 regarding both reads and writes. At 50% fill, we could see a bit of performance drop due to less SLC cache left but will remain at very acceptable values for a TLC 3D NAND drive. Given the fac...
As an NVMe SSD the P2 is okay at best, I mean if you look back and forth from SATA3 SSDs your writes will be roughly the same, the reads are nice and fast, but other then that it's nothing special. If we look at endurance I would have hoped to have had a...

Crucial's P2 is perfect for a cheap M.2 NVMe boot drive. It offers enough performance to differentiate itself from the SATA competition, but it isn't as competitive against higher-end NVMe SSDs that cost only a few bucks more. It also might come with slow...
The Crucial P2 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD series is an entry-level NVMe drive that is currently only available in 250GB and 500GB capacities. That really limits the buyer of these drives as most gamers, enthusiasts and content creators are wanting at least 1TB of...
