Crucial Unveils the P5 High-Performance M.2 NVMe SSDs
Crucial is expanding its P-series M.2 NVMe SSD lineup with the introduction of the P5. Available in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB, and built in the M.2-2280 form-factor, the drives are still based on PCI-Express gen 3.0 x4 host interface with NVMe 1.3. The P5 implements a DRAM-cache cushioned controller, and 3D TLC NAND flash memory.
Performance on offer includes sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s, and sequential write speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s (up to 1,400 MB/s writes for the 250 GB model), while Crucial rates endurance (TBW) at 150 TBW for the 250 GB model, 300 TBW for the 500 GB model, 600 TBW for 1 TB, and 1.2 PBW for the 2 TB model. The performance numbers are a class above the P2 or P1 mid-range drives. The drives are backed by 5-year warranties. The company didn't reveal pricing.
Many Thanks to TheLostSwede for the tip.

what exactly is "high-performance" about that anyways...
There are a whole bunch of other drives out there than can meet or beat those speeds, so wtf ???????
I am actually VERY EXCITED for these. Crucial's prices are typically lower than SAMSUNG and I've had no issues whatsoever out of the MX500 models.
I definitely want a 2TB M.2 for my gaming/travel laptop soon.
I switched to m.2 drives in all of my desktops (5) way back when they 1st came out & I aint neva, eva goin back to no stinkin spinning rust buckets nor 2.5" slabbers & their stinkin cables/connectors/cages etc... :eek:
And I know at least 100 other desktop owners who have done the same thing... o_O
