Crucial’s 2TB SSD earned our highest praise, and now it’s $110 off

One of our favourite solid-state drives (SSDs) is now available for purchase, and we couldn’t be more excited about this development. The Crucial P5 2TB hard drive is currently available for purchase on Amazon for $180 dollars. This corresponds to a $110 save on the purchase price.

We gave the Crucial P5 a grade of 4.5 out of 5 stars and awarded it the Editors’ Choice Award after reviewing it. As one of our reviewers put it, “the P5 is a terrific mid-range SSD that can compete with the bigger drives in terms of everyday performance, and even in the most demanding long transfers.”

Aside from the P5, which gained an honorable mention in our round-up of the best PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs, the P5 was also considered. Specifically, we believe that “the Crucial P5 is another another fantastic, affordable NVMe SSD that performs on par with far more costly options, and it would almost likely be our top pick if the SK Hynix Gold P31 didn’t already exist.”

Thruput speeds of 3,400 megabytes per second and 3,000 megabytes per second are achieved by the Crucial P5. The sequential read rates of the 1TB version were much quicker than the sequential write rates, which were only a hair slower than the sequential read rates in our tests. It comes with a 5-year limited warranty from Crucial, and the manufacturer promises that it will have a maximum endurance rating of 1,200 terabytes written throughout the course of its life.
