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.Join the newsletter!-->JoinOrSign in with LinkedIn Sign i...
Quick in some respects, Affordable, Five-year warranty
Performance on smaller capacity models is poor, Gets warm when pushed hard, 4K scores aren't good

Abstract: Today, you'd be forgiven for thinking that " SSD " stood for "seriously speedy drive." Indeed, we'd lobby for that change. Why? Over the last five years, solid-state drives (SSDs) have changed their shapes, speeds, and storage stripes with such agility th...
Abstract: Shopping for an SSD means facing a sea of acronyms. The trickiest of them are jagged reefs sticking out of the water, shaped like circuit boards and ready to run your upgrade aground if you're not careful. "SSD," standing for "solid-state drive," is the o...
