Performance ratings on the Crucial P5 Plus Series differ slightly based on drive model. Though your motherboard should provide a mounting kit with appropriate number of hex nut standoffs and M.2 screws, these are easily misplaced, so the extra is always a welcome inclusion. However, this time around I felt the need to point out an observation that is very small - literally.Ĭrucial has included an M.2 retention screw in the blister pack. Though a Gen4 NVMe SSD with sub $99 price point may be alluring among budget conscious consumers, 1TB is currently the most favorable capacity, so it's no surprise that Crucial has declined a 250GB capacity model that was offered within the original P5 Series.Ĭommentary on retail packaging seldom makes it into my Linux review articles. The Crucial P5 Plus Series SSD is available in three different capacities, 500GB, 1TB, and a 2TB model - current online retail pricing is $99.99, $169.99 and $327.99 respectively.
With nearly two-times faster Sequential Reads of 6600MB/s in comparison to the previous generation speed of 3400MB/s and of course retaining backward compatibility with Gen3 systems. The Crucial P5 Plus Series is essentially a refresh of the popular P5 Series, now supporting the latest Gen4 NVMe technology. Fast forward to summer 2021, Micron, the parent company to consumer division Crucial has recently launched their newest PCIe 4.0 x4 high-performance Solid-State Drive, the P5 Plus. Last year we reviewed the Crucial P5 Series which pushed the capabilities of PCIe Gen3 NVMe.
