Crucial/Micron P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe Up to 2TB M.2 SSDs With 176-Layer TLC 3D NAND

Summary:

• PCIe 4.0 NVMe technology with up to 6,600MB/s sequential reads ⁽¹⁾

• Engineered for gamers, professionals, and creatives requiring high-performance storage products

• Incorporates Micron advanced 176-layer TLC 3D NAND and innovative controller technology

• Rated at MTTF greater than 2 million hours for extended longevity and reliability ⁽²⁾

Micron Technology, Inc. announced the availability of Crucial P5 Plus PCIe SSDs as an expansion of its NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) portfolio to offer performance internal Gen4 storage options to consumers.

By leveraging the company’s first-to-market volume shipments of 176-layer NAND, P5 Plus SSDs enable lower power, higher speed, and denser storage solutions. Additionally, the firm’s 176L 3D TLC NAND and controller technology, yields up to 66% faster sequential write speeds and nearly double the sequential reads of prior generation firm’s SSDs ⁽³⁾.

“With data intensive workloads on the rise, consumers increasingly demand high-performance storage solutions for their needs including engineering applications, video editing, content creation and gaming,” said Teresa Kelley, VP and GM, consumer products group. “By using our powerful, industry-leading 176-layer 3D NAND, coupled with the latest high-bandwidth storage interface, the P5 Plus Gen4 SSD makes lightning-fast computing storage accessible for a broad spectrum of consumers in the market.“

With read speeds up to 6,600MB/s, Crucial P5 Plus SSDs also enable up to 67% faster random read and 40% faster random write performance over prior Crucial Gen3 SSDs ⁽⁴⁾. For a PCIe Gen4 PC build or a PCIe Gen3 system upgrade, it is compatible with both and has been tested on Intel and AMD platforms including the 11th gen Intel Core processors and AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 motherboards. Likewise, these Crucial PCIe Gen4 SSDs are backward compatible for most Gen3 PC systems that support M.2 form factors ⁽⁵⁾.

The performance performance P5 Plus PCIe Gen4 SSD rounds out firm’s internal and external SSD product offerings such as the MX500, BX500, P5, P2, X8 and X6. Additionally, all P5 Plus SSDs come with our Crucial Storage Executive management software for performance optimization, data security and firmware updates, as well as free cloning software to ensure easy installation right out of the box.

As Micron’s global consumer brand, Crucial is able to connect millions of customers to the innovation and technology that comany has been perfecting for more than 4 decades. For 25 years, online tools like the Crucial System Scanner have made it easy for customers such as content professionals, gamers, PC enthusiasts and DIY system builders to find compatible memory (DRAM) and storage (SSD) products for more than 175,000 desktops, laptops, and workstations.

The products are available on the firm’s website and worldwide from retail and e-tail stores, commercial resellers and system integrators, enhancing system performance and user productivity on every continent.

⁽¹⁾ Typical I/O performance numbers as measured using CrystalDiskMark with a queue depth of 128 and write cache enabled. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results. When installed in a Gen3 system, typical R/W speeds are 3,300/2,700MB/s.
⁽²⁾ Mean time to failure (MTTF) can be predicted based on component reliability data using the methods referenced in the Telcordia SR-332 reliability prediction procedures for electronic equipment and is validated in Reliability Demonstration Test (RDT).
