![]() Longer bars are better.Īs noted, the Crucial P5 Plus’s real world sustained reads and writes (shown below) were very good. ![]() The Crucial P5 Plus can’t quite keep up with the better drives in synthetic benchmarks such as CrystalDiskMark 6, but it’s still a dramatic improvement over PCIe 3. However, 5GBps is still a very nice boost over PCIe 3-the non-Plus P5 topped out at 3.3GBps over that interface, as does the P5 Plus when you plug it into a PCI 3 system. Other than that, especially in real life transfers, it was all good.ĬrystalDiskMark 6 was slightly pessimistic about the P5 Plus’s write speed over PCIe 4 compared to the other drives. Massive 450GB writes slowed down by a third once they got about two-thirds into the operation, and peak PCIe 4 write speed wasn’t rated top-tier by synthetic benchmarks. In general, it outpaced its predecessor by about 5 to 10 percent. Performanceīecause of the older P5’s surprisingly fast performance, the good numbers turned in by the 1TB P5 Plus that Crucial sent were hardly unexpected. Losing those little suckers has been a problem as long as I’ve been testing the type. I have to mention Crucial including a M.2 mounting screw in the box. ![]() That said, most users will never write nearly as much data as even bargain drives are rated for. They carry lower ratings, which will mitigate the warranty, to discourage high-transaction use in servers and other intense endeavors. That’s in line with the drive’s price though essentially the same as pro drives, consumer drives are expected to see less use and are priced accordingly. The Crucial P5 Plus is warrantied for five years, as well as rated for 300TBW (TeraBytes that can be Written) per 500GB of capacity. Crucial sent us this image of the speedy P5 Plus that illustrates the 2280 form factor perfectly.
