This is right around what Crucial quotes as the performance ceiling. Sequential read speed measured in CrystalDiskMark came in just below the Samsung 980 Pro, though write speed was faster. The Crucial P5 Plus comes with a solid warranty and TBW rating, but how does it perform? I ran some tests using an ABS Challenger (ALI598) with Intel B560 chipset on a Gigabyte DS3H motherboard, 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, and 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400F CPU. This TBW rating is in line with Samsung's 980 Pro, though it's lower than the XPG Gammix S70 and the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus.
The 500GB P5 Plus has a smaller 300TBW rating, while the 2TB P5 Plus has a larger 1,200TBW rating. This translates to about 329GB of data written each day over the course of the warranty period to exceed the TBW rating before the warranty expires. It also comes with a generous five-year warranty. The 1TB P5 Plus that I bought for the review has a 600 Terabytes Written (TBW) rating, which means it's meant to last through 600TB of data transfer. If you're moving old data - including your OS - to the P5 Plus and you don't have an extra M.2 slot, an external SSD enclosure will help immensely with the process.

Install it in your PC, initialize it through Windows, and you're good to go. These additions are appreciated you can take them or leave them, as the drive works fine without any extra installations.

Crucial's Storage Executive software is also naturally included as a way to monitor performance and keep the drive's firmware up to date. The Crucial P5 Plus offers an attractive price-to-performance ratio that rivals Samsung's 980 Pro.īuying this SSD lands you a version of Acronis True Image software for Crucial drives, allowing you to easily clone your data over to the new drive. The back side of the drive has a sticker with drive specs and an otherwise clean look. This improves security and performance when encryption is enabled, as there isn't an extra layer of software running while you're writing data to the drive. That controller makes it possible for the drive to offer 256-bit AES encryption at the hardware level. Crucial, a brand under the Micron umbrella, understandably uses an eight-channel Micron DM02A1 controller and Micron's own 176-layer TLC 3D NAND. The P5 Plus is an M.2 2280 SSD with two NAND chips, 1GB of DRAM, and a controller all on the same side.
