A good brand drive and has proved extremely reliable with acceptable speed
Crucial is a well respected and established brand. I would always buy an SSD from an established brand rather than a generic device because at the end of the day with data storage I want reliability over and above everything else.This 2TB drive has proved to be exceptionally reliable with acceptable performance. This was purchased for use in a media recorder so speed was not a main consideration.This drive has now been considerably used and is still working perfectly without any issues so it has performed everything I would have expected of it and for that reason I would highly recommend this drive to anyone looking for an entry level drive by a reputable brand.

Great 250GB SSD for caching
Good value SSD for use in caching with Asustor Lockster, main reason I purchased the 250GB version as I wasn’t using this for storage purposes, 250GB way to small nowadays to store files so if your using it for storage I’d recommend minimum 500GB.Purchased 2 of them as I have 2 slots which gives me 232.89GB of cache which is overkill for a home user NAS. See after a raid cache setup a total of 500GB after formatting and activation I’m only getting 232GB so be aware of that!Overall I’m happy with what I need it for and response is fast enough for me!

A great nvme
Crucial are amongst the few trusted brands of PC components I use.Bought this for my pc as my 2tb regular mechanical spinning HDD failed.This is my second NVME and although it's probably half as slow as my first - when transfer speeds are gigabytes per second it doesn't really matter/see the difference.Used for my mid range gaming pc it loads games just as fast as a friends new xbox (same game)I also bought a small black vented heatsink which before/after testing reduced temperature by around 10 degrees on the drive (just clips around the drive) - always a good investment.

Its cheap, don't expect the best
I wanted the largest ssd storage at the lowest price, this was it. This will be my boot drive and hold my steam collection, I don't video edit and updates download automatically so i never wait for them anyway. A lot of reviewers commenting on large transfers slowing down, what do you expect at this price point. Its like buying a transit van and taking it to the drag strip, amazing for storing everything, crap at going fast... Go spend £300 on a 980 pro from Samsung, until direct access storage becomes a thing you can rest easy here as a budget gamer.

Crucial hardrive upgrade
This was bought after allowing the crucial website to scan and recommend for me.You could choose various ways to buy it and Amazon seemed a trusty choice for me.It was easy to install though I couldn't manage to use the suggested free software (can be got from crucial site) to clone my old drive and instead installed a fresh copy of windows 10.My machine seems a bit faster than previously and has a much more useful amount of storage so I am happy .If you are installing inside a laptop, don't forget to remove the battery.

Initial impressions on Lenovo Legion 5 17in
Background: I have a Legion 5 17in laptop, running i7 10th gen, 16Gb DDR4 RAM, GTX 1660, 512gb NVMe Samsung.Usage: I don’t do games. I teach online… and I bought this so that I could create online materials. I also edit and store photos (for which I have a range of editing software).I installed a second SSD… a 1Tb NVMe on which I store photos, videos, and audio materials for language learning.However, I had almost filled the main 512Gb SSD with apps, etc, and I really needed to upgrade it.I saw the Crucial P2 advertised on Amazon at a cheap price and I snapped it up.I installed it yesterday…. I am not a tech wiz; I’m an English teacher. However, taking the installation slowly and steadily, I was able to complete it without a hitch in 90 minutes (which includes 35/45 mins of cloning via Acronis True Image through the Crucial website.I am happy to report that - so far - on DAY 2 … no problems. A smooth, easy-to-accomplish installation.After installing, I decided to read the customer reviews on Amazon…. and oh! my heart sank. All the top reviews are so negative. (Yes, I should have read them before I purchased… but I didn’t).I am writing this review - which is very positive (so far!) - to redress the balance.If anything changes, I will amend the review.In any event, I’ll try to update the review after a few months usage.

Does what it says
Upgrading my PC so was a good choice and the price was decent. Was compatible with my motherboard and the speed was really good, 2TB was really good storage as well for the price.
