  • Make sure you bring your own screw!
Capacity: 1TB Style: P5
Would be nice if you provided your customers with the M.2 screw to hold it in place rather than making them go about finding one. I know you've provided them in past SSD's. I'd imagine it would probably cost you a whole penny wholesale. Instead, after I spend hundreds on this product and purchase 2 day shipping I was forced to wait until the next day to drive an hour round trip to the hardware store to buy 2 for 47 cents. Thanks! ... show more

  • DO NOT BUY PRODUCT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
Capacity: 500GB Style: P5
I purchased this product for my Lenovo E580 and installed it with relative ease, however Crucial has rolled out a software known as Executive Storage. During the setup process they heavily imply that you need to download this software to help maintain your SSD and have it function at its full capacity. This software destroys your SSD and erases data from both your NVME SSD and current drive. I called tech support and was on the line for over 2 hours and they stated that they knew about the defect with executive storage yet Crucial has done nothing to fix it.I was on the line for 2 hours as they suggested the same solution over and over and after all that effort, they merely said that you can return it and we might be able to get a new one back to you in approximately 4-6 weeks. Absolutely horrendous product with even worse software to go along with it. Seriously, pick any other SSD, the Samsung Scorpion 970 EVO series is a far better option. ... show more

  • Absolutely fantastic speeds!
Capacity: 1TB Style: P5
Although I have been running SSD only computers for a while, they have always been the standard SATA SSDs, limited to about 550MB/sec transfer rate, which is already very fast when compared to even the fastest SATA HDs. However after researching and watching many review videos, I decided to give the Crucial P5 a shot, and I am extremely glad I did! As you can see in the two uploaded screenshots I have provided, my SATA SSD, (a Crucial MX500 1TB) reads at about 562 MB/sec and writes at about 517 MB/sec. However when running that same test on the Crucial P5 NVME SSD, the read speeds are around 3500 MB/sec and write speed is around 3200 MB/sec! The speed increase is off the charts! I am very happy with my purchase! ... show more

  • Great upgrade for a Dell G3 3779
Capacity: 1TB Style: P5
I upgraded my Dell G3 3779 laptop by replacing the original C: drive, a SK hynix 128 GB SSD, with this Crucial P5 1TB. Higher performance and much greater capacity. I used a USB 3.1 NVMe PCIe enclosure (amazon # B07MNFH1PX) to clone the SSD to the P5. I used the clone function from a free copy of Macrium Reflect rather than the Crucial version of Acronis True Image because Acronis requires installation of the new SSD before doing a clone & Macrium allowed me to do the clone prior to opening the laptop. Macrium also allowed for an easy resize of the main ssd partition to allow full use of the larger space. The install was pretty painless and the machine booted from the new drive immediately following the install. No problems & very happy with the result. I had verified compatibility via the Crucial configuration tool on their web site before ordering via Amazon. Crystal disk mark verified the drive met it's published specs. ... show more

  • If you’ve never replaced your SSD, study up first
Capacity: 2TB Style: P5
Installation goes easily if you are prepared. Do your homework, look for the best videos (lots of junk out there). Recognize what even the best videos gloss over and research those vague areas. Have a safe place to put all screws, neat workspace, good lighting. Get a caddy for copying over your old drive to the new one, so when you replace the old one you can use it in the caddy as an external SSD. Study how the copying process must be adapted to partitioning the old drive to its full available size. I love having a huge C drive, ended all my anxieties about the steady decrease in available space. Several computations now go much faster when they use the C drive for application data. Worth the investment and cheaper than buying a new laptop. ... show more

  • You Do Not Know What You Are Missing UNTIL You Add This To Your Computer
Capacity: 500GB Style: P5
The Crucial P5 500GB HD (3400/3000MB/s) did what was asked and more. It definitely made our office HP 15-cs3073cl laptops all around better performing. It is a really decent laptop, but the hard drives (1TB 5400rpms are garbage). It was an easy way (cost efficient as well) to upgrade a our laptops (that supports NVME M.2 with a M Key - the little slit on its end. There are B keys, M Keys and B/M Keys on different M.2s) so you are way ahead of most admin/staff laptops in school districts. Now, I have this super fast Crucial HD as my main hard drive and the old 1Tb 5400rpm HD as by back up. This is great because I have speed and still space to store pictures and videos, etc.. So, if you have a laptop and it can use a MVME M.2 HD w/ a M-Key, do not hesitate to purchase this one. A+ Product. UserBenchmarks: Crucial's P5 500gb M.2 got a score = 258% (exceptional.) My WD Black SN750 NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB got a 283% (exceptional.) My Samsung 860 Evo 500GB got a 118% (Outstanding). My WD Blue 1TB (2012 - 102% Outstanding. The original HP15 WD WD10SPZX-00HKTT0 (5400rpm) got a 61.7% (Good...BUT IT IS SO SLOW next to a SSD or M.2.) If this was a grading scale...a 61.7% is not good it is barely passing in education. Plus, it is really easy to see the difference. Startups, downloads, and updates take FOREVER on the the 5400rpm HD. If you have never updated your drive...then you do not know what you are missing. Just saying.... Side note: This is the easiest area to cut costs when purchasing a laptop/computer and EASIEST way to update it on a budget and still save money in laptops and computers. Ram is another area. Crucial makes both. Latops - you typically can't upgrade much other than the HD and RAM. Most higher end laptops have some wiggle room, but not in all cases. When you buy it...if they give you "upgrade options"...then you know where you can add or subtract down the road. Keep in mind that in some cases they even solder the RAM to the board - which makes it difficult to do much there. To Clone: Crucial makes it easy. All you have to do is... (You must have a M.2 connection and a SATA connection. At least one of each to do the following. Otherwise, you will need to search online on how to clone your hard drive with what your present setup looks like.) Most laptops and computers have at least 2 connections. One may be M.2. If it is not, then do not but this hard drive. You can use my directions below, but not with this hard drive. 1.Download the Software and Install it: Acronis True Image for Crucial (other brands have the same thing also) - do a search Crucial Clone Software. 2. Install the new hard drive. DO NOT REMOVE your old hard drive at this time. Please leave your old one in as your MAIN still. Let it boot up. 3. Find your NEW HD. It can be found by running DISK MANAGEMENT on your computer and formatting your new drive to add it to your computer. (It should be found under "THIS PC" shortcut on Win10. 4. Make sure your new hard drive is the same size or larger than your old one. (Remove some programs that are easily reinstalled - like video games if you need a little space.) You want to CLONE everything over to the new one. I went from 500gb to 500gb...the amount moving over was smaller than the new empty hard drive. I deleted a couple of video games too - off the record of course. :) 5. Start Acronis software and Clone (under tools) your old one onto the new one. If the old one is a 5400rpm HD...go eat lunch or dinner. You will have some time. Our 500gb - 5400rpm HDs took about 30-45mins. A 500bg 2.5 SSD - 10 minutes max from start to finish. 6. Once it is cloned, turn off your computer and either disconnect the SATA connection or take out your old hard drive. Start up your computer and it will find the new hard drive. If the process results in a corrupt set of files on boot, I did not mess with it. I reinstalled my old one and booted from it and formatted the new drive and started over. (I was not wasting time "fixing" a fresh CLONE. Who was to say other errors might not show up later?) I wanted to be safe versus sorry. Shortcuts get me in trouble sometimes. 7. Once you are ready to boot form the new drive, disconnect the old one again. If it boots, then it should be your main one now for booting. 8. You can shut it down and reconnect or install the old one and it should be your backup drive now. Go to "THIS PC" and see which one is your "C" and which is your "D". If it is not correct, you should have noticed the load up time in the beginning was ridiculous if using the 5400rpm and/or it is labeled as "C". How do know which is which? Well, once I clone my original drive, I delete something off of it to make it smaller. Secondly, I look at the total sizes. Typically those are not identical. In my case, one is 464gb and the other is 931gb. Pretty easy for me to tell them apart.) 9. If everything worked out and the M.2 is now your main drive, then you are good to go! Enjoy. 10. If it did not work, then you will need to shut your computer down and go into your bios. If you do not know how to get into it...look it up. Some are f2, others are f8 or F12 and mine was F10. 11. Hold the specific F-key down when you restart it and enter the bios. You will need to change the HD boot order. It needs to be your M.2 first and then the other drive. Save your progress and restart. 12. Check how fast it starts up. Then check "This PC" if it is correct, then all is well. 13. If it is not...then you probably did not save your work when you entered the bios. Try that again. 14. Most of this can be found on the internet as well. Best of luck. THANK YOU, CRUCIAL for making my upgrade EASY. ... show more

  • Excellent
Capacity: 500GB Style: P5
Works as expected. Write speeds are as advertised. Trades blows with 970 evo, but falls behind at smaller reads/writes. Peek write speeds beat 970 evo hands down. See Crystal disk mark for details. Fresh install of windows
