- very fast
- needs a heat sink
The differences in the synthetic measurements are large, but they blur in the practical benchmarks. A fast and expensive SSD is only worthwhile if you also use it, for a simple office PC a cheap SSD with PCIe 3.0 is sufficient. However, if you only look at the performance and only consider the SSDs from this test, you can hardly get past the Acer Predator; the Adata Legend 840 and the HP FX900 follow...
- clean processing

- Very good (everyday) performance
- Power consumption remains within limits
- AES encryption
- fair price
- Great value for money
- High reading performance
- High write performance
The Crucial P5 Plus 1TB delivers a super performance in the test. It masters fast reading and writing equally well. The SSD is also convincing in continuous use; only after moving very large amounts of data does the transfer rate drop. Only the number of operations per second lags behind the competition...
The Crucial P5 Plus from Micron is a very fast m.2 SSD, but it can run quite hot and should be upgraded with a heat sink. The price-performance ratio is good.
Although the P5 Plus from Crucial did not knock its rivals Western Digital SN 850 and Samsung 980 Pro off their thrones, it now ranks first together with them - it is just as fast on average. The Intel, on the other hand, fluffed with slow write speed and poor programme acceleration - it had no chance against the Samsung 970 Evo Plus...
Aimed at gamers and creative professionals who want faster load times and more efficient workflow experiences, Crucial's P5 Plus is a solid PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD that is priced well for what it has to offer.
