With how long the P1 was around its surprising that Crucial, especially with their parent company being Micron, waited until now to jump into the higher end NVMe drive market. Especially now when people are getting ready for the jump to PCIe 4.0. I wo...
Excellent everyday performance, Great bang for buck
Will slow down during very long writes
The P5 is an excellent mid-range SSD that can run with the big drives in everyday performance, and even in all but the most demanding long transfers. It's a short-lister for sure. Nice job, Crucial.Note: When you purchase something after clicking links in...

Abstract: The P5 has a few things going for it, with the first being an all-new in-house controller designed by Micron. This leaves little room for speculation on where the drive will perform, but it's marketed at 3400/3000 for the 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities wi...
