Crucial P5 500GB NVMe SSD

The Crucial CT500P5SSD8 is a 500GB internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe interface and 3D NAND memory. Sequential reads reach up to 3400 MBps and writes up to 3000 MBps. The drive is rated for 150TB written and 1.8 million hours MTTF.

Suits NVMe builds needing fast boot and load times

This drive fits systems with an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe. It works well for operating systems, applications and games that benefit from high sequential throughput. Builds limited to PCIe 2.0 or older NVMe implementations will not reach the advertised speeds. Devices without an M.2 NVMe slot cannot use this SSD.

150TB endurance rating determines lifespan

The 150 terabytes written figure is the key durability metric for this 500GB model. It defines how much data can be written before the warranty expires. Heavy workloads such as constant video capture or large database writes may approach this limit faster than typical desktop use. Check your expected write volume against this rating before purchase.

Questions about this item

How fast will the 3400 MB/s sequential read feel when the drive is installed in my PC?

The 3400 MB/s read speed lets the operating system boot and large applications launch in seconds, delivering the responsive experience expected from a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drive.

What does the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface actually limit in everyday use?

The four-lane PCIe 3.0 connection caps peak throughput at the rated 3400 MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write, so sustained transfers stay within those limits.

Will the M.2 2280 form factor fit my motherboard slot and clearance?

The 2280 length (80 mm) is the standard M.2 size used by most desktop and laptop boards, so it fits any M-keyed slot without extra brackets.
