Crucial reveals its high-end P5 series of NVMe SSDs

Crucial has just revealed its high-end P5 series of SSDs, offering users sequential read speeds of 3400MB/s and capacities of 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB. 

These drives utilise PICe 3.0 lanes to achieve such high performance levels, making these SSD speeds achievable on both Intel and AMD-powered systems. At this time, Crucial doesn’t manufacture a PCIe 4.0 complaint SSD, making the P5 the fastest drive in Crucial’s arsenal. 

When it comes to write speeds, most of the P5 series offers sequential speeds of 3000MB/s, with only the 250GB model failing to reach this performance target. The 250GB model offers users sequential write speeds of 1400MB/s, which while much slower than its larger counterparts is still a lot faster than all SATA SSDs. 

Crucial’s new P5 series of SSDs ship with a 5-year limited warranty and support for operating temperatures as high as 70 degrees celsius. At this time, Crucial hasn’t revealed its retail pricing for these new drives.
