Crucial P5 Plus 2TB NVME SSD With Heatsink
3. Conclusion
The Crucial P5 Plus 2TB NVME SSD with the included heatsink is a fine example of Crucial's engineer, producing a product that performs according to the specifications and at the same time keeping the working temperatures under control. The drive does perform very well and will not slow down at all, even when performing large read/writing sessions, due to its design/firmware and the 1GB of onboard memory cache. The promised 6600 MB/s reading and 5000 MB/s writing speeds are true as also its retail price as well.
The drive is advertised as PS5 compatible and it is, due to its low-height passive heatsink. For sure it will be useful to expand your system's internal storage capacity. The drive is armed with 5 years of warranty directly from Crucial (or 1200TBW of data written). For higher performance, Crucial also offers via it’s Storage Executive Software the "Momentum Cache”, which is an essential memory cache application for boosting performance and reducing the wear of the installed NVME. Compared with the non-heatsink version, the Crucial charges around $15 for the passive heatsink, which is a good deal for most users, even you can buy the bare version and add an aftermarket heatsink for use with PS5 gaming console if you are an advanced user.
Overall, the Crucial 2TB NMVE SSD is a very good proposal for all users who wish to get fast internal storage, either for their PS5 or PC usage and keep the cost down and have a modern motherboard supporting PCIe-4.0 protocol.
