Crucial P2 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

Buy on sale and this is really good. An SSD is an SSD and will be faster than any HDD.

Don't really care about the speeds unless your making money by doing it. For warranty purposes, get Samsung. Buy on sale and this is really good. An SSD is an SSD and will be faster than any HDD.

I bought this SSD and try to use it for HP ProBook 430 G6 (Intel Core i5-8259U, 16GB Memory)
Even though the price is the cheapest for 1TB M.2 SSD, this SSD shows amazing performance.
You may not regret if you buy this product.

Great brand name at a reasonable price point. Used this to upgrade an old MacBook (2014) and get speeds that make it more than useable again. Highly recommend this ssd.

Used an adapter and installed this in an early 2015 MacBook Pro, went from a measly 128GB to something a bit more sensible. Easy job and no issues since installing it.

i have 4 of these in a raid as a dedicated games drive, really cheap way to build a large fast drive, its faster than my aurous 1tb nvme & beats the 4tb WD pcie at half the price i have 4 of these in a raid as a dedicated games drive, really cheap way to build a large fast drive, its faster than my aurous 1tb nvme & beats the 4tb WD pcie at half the price

The SSD is fine, and has not had any actual faults since I bought it back in 2021. The only major issue has appeared now that I'm trying to use it as a backup drive. Sustained write speeds on this drive are utter garbage after about 5GB of data is written to the drive. This is because they have a minuscule cache, and for this reason I wouldn't recommend this or the P3 drives.

If you're just using it for Windows and not much else, it should be fine - but it is a terrible choice for a backup drive, or to use as your game library.

It's a great value ssd for the proformance it gives.
There have been no problems with the ssd and gives great loading times and plenty of storage It's a great value ssd for the proformance it gives.

Windows and games run well. Windows and games run well.

Does what it is supposed to do. The blue sticker is a bit jarring aesthetically if you don't have an M.2 cover on your motherboard but that doesn't diminish it's performance. I had no difficulty setting it up and a simple YouTube video showed me how to identify it on Windows. Does what it is supposed to do.

Amazing as all other products. Shipping was quick and overall happy Amazing as all other products. Shipping was quick and overall happy

Not many of my PC components give me the warm fuzzies when I think about them, but this one sure does. Lightning fast, and such great value for money.

Upgraded a MacBook Air from 128GB to 1TB using one of these an an adapter. Perfect first time, fast and super reliable.
