Crucial P5 Plus 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

The Crucial P5 Plus is a 2TB internal solid state drive built on an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe interface. It uses 3D NAND flash and includes an integrated heatsink to manage thermals during sustained workloads. Sequential reads reach up to 6600 MBps and writes up to 5000 MBps.

Suits PS5 expansion and high-throughput desktop

This drive meets the PlayStation 5 internal expansion requirements and fits motherboards with an M.2 2280 slot supporting PCIe 4.0 x4. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or lacking an M.2 NVMe slot cannot use the full bandwidth or the physical connector.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface determines compatibility

The drive requires an M.2 key-M slot wired for PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe signalling to deliver the rated 6600 MBps read and 5000 MBps write speeds. Verify your platform provides that exact electrical and mechanical interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface cap the sequential speeds at?

The PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe interface allows maximum sequential reads up to 6600 MBps and writes up to 5000 MBps on this 2TB drive.

What physical space does the M.2 2280 form factor with heatsink require?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 length and includes an integrated heatsink, so verify your motherboard or PS5 slot has clearance for the added height.

How is the drive installed in a PlayStation 5 and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive into the PS5 expansion slot at an angle, press down flat, and secure with the screw; the step often missed is removing the console's cover plate first.
