Crucial P5 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink

The Crucial CT1000P5PSSD5 is a 1 TB NVMe solid state drive that connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and arrives with an integrated heatsink already secured to the module. It delivers sequential read speeds that can reach 6600 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 5000 MB/s, giving systems the bandwidth they need for rapid boot times, quick level loads, and brisk transfers of large media files.

This drive suits gamers who want to shorten the wait between matches, creative professionals who juggle high-resolution video or photo libraries, and engineers who work with sizeable project files. In a PlayStation 5 it slides directly into the expansion slot, adding space for more games while keeping thermal output in check. Inside a desktop workstation or a recent laptop, the M.2 2280 form factor keeps cabling to a minimum and preserves airflow.

The preinstalled heatsink draws heat away from the controller and NAND, while Crucial’s adaptive thermal protection and dynamic write acceleration help sustain performance during marathon gaming sessions or long rendering jobs. These measures reduce the likelihood of thermal throttling, so speeds stay consistent under prolonged workloads.

Durability is anchored by a 600 TB total bytes written rating and a mean time to failure of two million hours. TCG OPAL 2.0 full-drive encryption is available for users who need to secure proprietary content or sensitive client data without sacrificing speed.

Backward compatibility with PCIe Gen3 platforms makes this drive a practical upgrade for older systems, although the highest speeds will be realized on a PCIe Gen4 motherboard or console. Installation requires no additional power cables, and Crucial’s support resources make firmware updates straightforward.
