  1. Typical I/O performance numbers as measured using CrystalDiskMark with a queue depth of 128 and write cache enabled. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results. When installed in a Gen3 system, typical read/write speeds are 3300/2700MB/s.
  2. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.
  3. Calculated by comparing P5 Plus’s sequential reads of 6600MB/s to the previous generation’s (P5) speed of 3400MB/s, or to the SATA’s (BX500) speed of 540MB/s.

    I got 2 of these for my PS5 and my son's PS5. We both ran into the same problem on the same game. Uninstalled and reinstalled but still had the same problem. After about 20 to 30 minutes of play time the PS5 would shut off and need to be unplugged to restart. This only happened in call of duty. For everything else it works great.

    Capacity: 1TBStyle: P5 PlusVerified Purchase
    I purchased the SSK enclosure with the Crucial P5 Plus SSD to clone my internal Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD already in my laptop. However, while instructions were easy, the Crucial's Acronis DID NOT recognize my Crucial P5 SSD. Acronis would give me a pop up window that said, "This product edition requires at least one Crucial SSD be installed in your system..."

    THE TROUBLESHOOTING THAT WENT NOWHERE:
    I started troubleshooting on my own first. I plugged it into different USB ports and even changed the cable. No luck. Next, I shouldn't have to if Acronis had worked, but I initialized Crucial's SSD via Disk Management as GUID partition table (GPT), I reinstalled the Acronis and restarted my laptop, but the same message happened. Next step, I went back to Disk Management to actually format a partition for Crucial's SSD this time, reinstalled Acronis (that is, uninstall Acronis, restarted laptop, download and installed Acronis from Crucial again, restarted my laptop), opened the Acronis software, and it still did not work. I repeat this again: you SHOULDN'T have to do ANY of this if Acronis from Crucial had detected my Crucial SSD. It could have been my SSK enclosure though, so I can't blame Crucial entirely, but really, it shouldn't have mattered. Anyways... I didn't want to create a boot media if I didn't have to, or further troubleshoot on my precious time on my own because Googling for answers could take longer than expected, so finally, I called Crucial's technical support line. Guess what, this tech guy fell asleep on me. It wasn't even 10 minutes in and he fell asleep, with snoring and all. When I woke him up (I imagine with snot bubbles and all), he groggily repeated the same instructions he last told me to do. If it wasn't so funny, I would be pretty livid. The part I couldn't stand wasn't his thick accent and incoherent sleep mumble, it was his fan's background noise. I couldn't ask him to turn the dumb thing off and bake in the heat, so I finally said, "Sir, no offense, but I don't think you can help me in any capacity at this moment. Your background noise is driving me nuts and I'm just guessing half the things you're saying. So, have a good day." Meanwhile, I'm clenching my fists hard to keep from going off on him.

    WHAT FINALLY WORKED, and IT WON'T WORK FOR YOU UNLESS YOU OWN A SUPPORTED PRODUCT ALREADY:
    About 5+ years ago, I got an external Western Digital hard drive. I remember that Western Digital also used Acronis as well. And since it is was specifically an external hard drive, it means it already has some files or partition that made the computer recognize it as a Western Digital hard drive (and no, I don't mean just naming the drive Western Digital). So I got the idea to use Western Digital's Acronis and give it a try. I did a quick Google for "Western Digital Acronis," clicked on the link to it, and downloaded Western Digital's Acronis. Then I had to uninstall Crucial's Acronis first (or else Western Digital's Acronis won't install), restarted my laptop, and then installed Western Digital's Acronis. When that was done, I connected my external Western Digital hard drive as well as Crucial's SSD in the SSK enclosure. I started up Western Digital's Acronis, and that FINALLY worked. Finally got into the software. Last step was just click Settings, Clone, Choose Source Drive, Choose Destination Drive, and Proceed. The cloning was done in less than 15 minutes. Installed the new Crucial's SSD into the laptop and booted up the laptop with no problems at all. I didn't have to mess with any BIOS at all, and there were zero error messages.

    CONCLUSION:
    I am disappointed that Crucial's Acronis did not recognize its own product. It was frustrating, but I was lucky to remember my external Western Digital hard drive was just lying around somewhere and improvised. To be fair though, it COULD possibly be the SSK enclosure that made it not work. It should work, but you know... technology always somehow fails due to fine details and glitches. Who knows where it went wrong. What I am unhappy about though is that I spent an extra $30 for Crucial when I could have bought Western Digital, thinking that it would seemingly be a smoother process. I didn't care I was throwing away an extra $30. I seriously have no time to worry about stuff like that. My time is just worth a lot more. But no. It was absolutely not a smoother process. But I'm glad I didn't spend more than an hour on all this from start to finish, including this review/rant.

    As for speed, I will say that thus far, I cannot tell the difference between this Crucial's P5 and my previous Samsung's P2. The only thing I was surprised about was that the initial startup with the new P5 was faster than I imagined, because initial startup can take a few minutes longer because of the new drive, but then subsequent startups should be just as fast as before. So, it could be the new P5's faster speed. For stability, everything started up no problem, no hitch at all after I installed it into my laptop. I've had no problems with it yet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid upgrade for a Windows system drive, but finicky transfer

    I bought this to augment the existing 1TB Samsung 970 Evo in my Windows computer, which was always full thanks to too many Steam games and a Linux dual boot.

    Hardware installation was easy, and performance is great, but it took me 2-3 hours to figure out how to transfer my old Windows partition to this new drive, as this one doesn't seem to include easy migration software--when I installed the old 970 Evo, Samsung supplied "magician" software that made the transfer really easy.
