    Brought for OS and system programs. My first M.2 and I couldn’t get over just how quick the boot up is, compared to older tech. I have these in both my gaming and work systems. Will buy more, recommended.

    As well as the hardware you get software to do the transfer and to manage the environment afterwards. This is a really great product. I had an SSD slot in the laptop, so it was very easy to install and migrate.

    Incredible difference in performance, my Dell 4500 laptop is like a new machine. Starts/shuts down almost instantly, silent when running, applications twice as fast. The solid state chips defragment with ease, everything in life is better, more smooth and less clunky.

    Perfect addition to a recently purchased desktop, making all storage and boot operations very much faster than original HDD. A very good price at the time of purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis was bought after allowing the crucial website to scan and recommend for me.
    You could choose various ways to buy it and Amazon seemed a trusty choice for me.
    It was easy to install though I couldn’t manage to use the suggested free software (can be got from crucial site) to clone my old drive and instead installed a fresh copy of windows 10.
    My machine seems a bit faster than previously and has a much more useful amount of storage so I am happy .

    If you are installing inside a laptop, don’t forget to remove the battery.

You’re getting a guaranteed high quality SSD with great pricing. I bought one for myself and one for my little brother. Attached is also the benchmarking scores for the SSD. As you can see, amazing performance for an amazing prices. SSD technology is getting cheaper and more accessible.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is an entry level NVME drive; I’d say it is good value for money; It’s obviously not as fast as the TOP range SSD drives but for daily basis/moderate office work/domestic pc tasks it does the job very well; After many months using it I checked the dirve’s life span with the program crystaldisk info and it doesnt seem to have worn out significantly..

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersBought to upgrade my son’s Lenovo T480. While this may only be a gen 3 drive it’s plenty fast enough for anything my son is likely to throw at it. I cloned a 256GB drive that was only half full in just a few minutes (over a Thunderbolt port) using an external enclosure.
    Speaking of which the size of these drives makes them even more portable than an SSD and if you have access to fast ports it really makes it easy to move data around.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersThis drive, although my first buy of the NVMe ranges is the best I have ever owned. It is astonishingly very fast in all areas of deployment from start up of windows 11 pro in just under 7 seconds to opening demanding applications.
    To top it all up, I had it for 119 and a 10 discount for buying it via the amazon mobile app, bringing total paid to just 109. You can’t beat that, can you? So far no issues with running it in an Intel i7 10th generation processor configuration with a 16GB memory and I’m loving it!

    Golden Review Award: 17 From Our UsersCrucial P2 CT500P2SSD8 SSD Internal 500GB, Speeds up to 2400MB/s

    I’ve installed this in my TUF F17 which was running very low on memory capacity due to all the games I’ve got downloaded, 500Gb seemed quite sufficient and doubled the overall storage to 1TB as I already had an existing 500Gb card in the machine.

    Installation was straight forward once I had located the extra slot for the card, I also applied some thermal compound to the outside to help in the regulation of temperature on the card.

    The laptop took a while to boot up initially no doubt due to the this new card I had inserted, I had to go to the disk management screen and initialise the memory and format the storage, once done I had the extra drive letter and more or less 500Gb of extra space.

    I’ve now moved a few of my games to this storage freeing up my drive ‘C’. I’m not one for messing around with all these speed tests and doing screenshots, got better things to do with my time but what I can say is that the loading time of my games are as fast as ever, no drop in performance at all.

    This card comes supplied boxed, a leaflet is enclosed telling you where to obtain the free cloning software which I take is if you’re upgrading from a smaller storage to this one or from a HDD. I’ve actually done this twice in my time and it can be a bit of a time consuming effort if all doesn’t go as intended, I can’t comment on the software from ‘Crucial’ but if this is your intended purpose of buying this storage then all I can say is good luck.

    Overall, money well spent and it performs adequately for my needs.

    Happy to recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI installed this on a computer I was building for a friend. The best thing that can be said of any storage is that I mentioned it’s capacity to him and told him it was fast, he used it for a couple of days and agreed that boot up/loading times were indeed very very fast. We’ve never mentioned it again. It works. For the load the average gaming pc puts on it it’ll likely go for a very long time, invisibly and without thought. I see this as an absolute win.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersBeen needing more space on my Win 11 PC for a while now and decided that at under 70 for this 1TB SSD looked like good value. Together with the free cloning SW for Crucial it was a breeze to move everything on to the new SSD for a non-techie like me ,and what a difference it made not only in capacity but also speed.

    I am not a gamer or power user but for my simple day to day needs of web browsing , word processing , media consumption photo editing etc it is more than adequate.

    Can highly recommend this one!

    I both this one to increase laptop storage capacity.
    And for really no reason laptop bios does not recognize the drive.

    If I’ll connect it trough USB adapter all works fine.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersThis is great. Its fast, durable, cheap (compared to other manufacturers), it performs the same and at the same level as other ssds and with 1tb of fast storage you won’t need to worry about waiting for your games to load or windows to open file explorer only to wait for 15 minutes searching on your hdd for a file; this will do it instantly. And as with any ssd there is no fuss and it is a easy installation and doesn’t require cable management or any space really unlike Sata ssds or hdds. So yes I 100% recomend to anyone looking for a relatively cheap, fast and reliable storage solution. And make sure your motherboard has an m.2 slot.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersI use this drive as a boot drive on my main office PC and I can’t say I have any complaints. I’ve been using it for years now and it’s not showing any significant signs of wear or slow down and I can’t say in all my time as a computer tech that I’ve had any poor experiences with crucial. It’s a safe buy at a good price, if you want it get it.

    Not the fastest drive on the market, but the speed is limited on the 2014 macbook pro chipset anyway.

    Could only boot from BigSur USB media( internet recovery will not work).
    2TB at this price is great.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersGood value SSD for use in caching with Asustor Lockster, main reason I purchased the 250GB version as I wasn’t using this for storage purposes, 250GB way to small nowadays to store files so if your using it for storage I’d recommend minimum 500GB.

    Purchased 2 of them as I have 2 slots which gives me 232.89GB of cache which is overkill for a home user NAS. See after a raid cache setup a total of 500GB after formatting and activation I’m only getting 232GB so be aware of that!

    Overall I’m happy with what I need it for and response is fast enough for me!

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersBackground: I have a Legion 5 17in laptop, running i7 10th gen, 16Gb DDR4 RAM, GTX 1660, 512gb NVMe Samsung.
    Usage: I don’t do games. I teach online and I bought this so that I could create online materials. I also edit and store photos (for which I have a range of editing software).

    I installed a second SSD a 1Tb NVMe on which I store photos, videos, and audio materials for language learning.

    However, I had almost filled the main 512Gb SSD with apps, etc, and I really needed to upgrade it.

    I saw the Crucial P2 advertised on Amazon at a cheap price and I snapped it up.

    I installed it yesterday. I am not a tech wiz; I’m an English teacher. However, taking the installation slowly and steadily, I was able to complete it without a hitch in 90 minutes (which includes 35/45 mins of cloning via Acronis True Image through the Crucial website.

    I am happy to report that – so far – on DAY 2 no problems. A smooth, easy-to-accomplish installation.

    After installing, I decided to read the customer reviews on Amazon. and oh! my heart sank. All the top reviews are so negative. (Yes, I should have read them before I purchased but I didn’t).

    I am writing this review – which is very positive (so far!) – to redress the balance.

    If anything changes, I will amend the review.

    In any event, I’ll try to update the review after a few months usage.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersOrder from crucial direct, its safer, more secure and you can trust you actually get the product. Out of pocket by 78. The Internal SSD provided by crucial direct is excellent, easy to install, worked first time and re-installed windows 10 on it without any issues. My 4 year old HP laptop is now even faster at booting up. Replaced the spinning HD with a 2TB SSD and the 16Gb RAM to 32Gb – all by Crucial. Wow, superfast with AutoCAD and Revit. Highly recommended product but get direct from Crucial or make sure its from Amazon direct and not one of these tiny retailers through Amazon.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersThis is the first M2 SSD (solid state disk) I have installed to a Dell desktop PC – make sure your pc has the appropriate slot by looking at memory and storage upgrades on the Crucial.com website.
    Before you start to install the SSD, make a backup of your PC and create a recovery drive on a USB stick – just in case!
    Installing the M2 SSD requires a Phillips + screwdriver. Once you have access to the slot, installing the M2 SSD takes under a minute. Your PC BIOS (startup configuration) will recognise the SSD and add it as a drive letter in Windows 10.
    Crucial.com have an agreement with Accronis cloning software which entitles you to a free download of their disk cloning software. This is quite a large download so be prepared to free-up some disk space.
    Great value upgrade and massive improvement in performance over a physical SATA hard drive.

    Peak performance seems to be within estimated ranges, but time will tell if degradation is a problem (doesn’t seem like it after doing a 1TB write, read and erasure, the degradation is within expected ranges -less than 1MB- for this method).

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersNot much to say really, the price is good for the capacity of drive, marked down a little on value as the price is all over the place, I paid just under 80 for mine, the next day it was under 60 and as I write this it’s just under 70??? M.2 drives are a doddle to install, slot it in and one screw, done. Speed seems good, benches at over 2 Gb/s read and write, have read that speed can drop on writing larger files due to the lack of dram.

    Motherrboard – ASUS B250M-K
    CPU: i7-7700K
    RAM:16GB 2400MHz

    I am no expert when it comes to SSD or HDD speeds, and how they should perform. I have attached a screenshot of a benchmark I have recently done to test my new SSD. But judging from what I can see the SSD is performing as it should be. I even checked the manufacturer’s website to see what kind of speeds this SSD is supposed to be capable of, and it seems to kind of match what their website says which is “Read 2400MB/s and Write 1800MB/s”.

As a bargain midpoint introductory SSD, Crucial’s line of the P2 series serves as a fast, strong, and affordable storage options for many tiny form factor pc’s, and mini pc’s. As a bonus, crucial also provides a lovely little tool via their website, in order to easily look up your pc type, and find compatible components without the hassle of reading (let’s be honest, quite easily mistaken product ID’s) for hours on purchasing the right component for your setup. An excellent product, and easily and quickly available here on Amazon, I highly suggest them as option when outfitting your new computer!

    Golden Review Award: 27 From Our UsersI’ve never had an ssd even though my pc is very good. I’ve just never got down to it. As soon as I put this in and migrated os to it and sorted everything out wow. My pc went from 28 seconds to 8 with this m. 2. Crystal mark showed a read of 1300 and a write of 800. The write is very strange I done it a few times and it went from 2100 to 600MB/s. Tbh I’m not bothered about the numbers I believe the experience is way more important and it’s very fast. I only paid 45 pounds for the 500gb version so it’s a steel. Literally 6 times faster than my 200MB/s hdd.
