Similar to WD’s approach, the stronger and less efficient correction capabilities are typically used for high bit-error pages as the SSD reaches its end of life, thus optimizing for performance and efficiency during its full lifespan.įor those needing assurance on write life, these algorithms ensure that the Crucial P5 sustains up to 150TB of writes per 250GB of capacity, which is a solid 1.2 PB of writes for the 2TB model.

Endurance shouldn’t be much of a concern because the P5 has a half-dozen layers of adaptation, retry, and correction in its multistep data integrity algorithms, as well as LDPC Error Correction Code (ECC). The P5 comes backed by a five-year limited warranty, or up to the rated write endurance per capacity. At the 500GB capacity point, write performance is rated for up to 1.4 GBps. All capacities can hit the read spec, but write performance degrades as capacity decreases. Crucial says the P5 delivers sequential performance of up to 3.4 /3 GBps read/write as well as up to 430,000 / 500,000 random read/write IOPS when hammered to the max.

If you need an SSD for a fresh PC build or an upgrade, definitely check this one out.Crucial’s P5 comes in capacities of 250GB up to 2TB, and current street prices range from $0.15-$0.22 per GB. That's where Crucial has excelled in the past, and it continues to do so going forward.
Crucial p5 plus#
The P5 Plus isn't the absolute fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD on the market, but it's one of the best options for those who don't want to overspend and still get a quality storage solution.

Hardware-level encryption also helps keep your data safe.
Crucial p5 software#
The included Acronis cloning and Crucial management software can help make the move to and the use of the P5 Plus easier. That's a good thing since there isn't one included. It handles gaming and general productivity with ease thanks to fast read and write speeds and low access latency, and it fares pretty well thermally without a heatsink. The Crucial P5 Plus is a well-rounded PCIe 4.0 SSD that brings solid performance at a great price.

I guess Crucial is leaning on the motherboard to provide some sort of solution, in turn keeping the cost of the drive down. The Crucial P5 Plus comes with a screw to hold it into the M.2 slot, but there's no heatsink included in the price.

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.
