Crucial P2 250GB NVMe SSD

The Crucial P2 CT250P2SSD8 is a 250GB internal solid-state drive built for consumer PCs and laptops. It uses 3D NAND flash and an M.2 2280 form factor. The PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface delivers sequential reads up to 2100 MBps and writes up to 1150 MBps.

When to choose this drive

It upgrades a system that already supports PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe storage in the M.2 2280 slot. The jump is worthwhile when faster boot times and application loading matter more than maximum endurance. Rated endurance is 150 TBW with a 1.5 million hour MTTF.

PCIe 3.0 x4 practical limits

The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface caps theoretical bandwidth near 4 GBps, so this drive operates well within that ceiling. Adaptive Thermal Protection manages heat within the 0°C to 70°C operating range. The 2.4 mm height fits standard M.2 slots without clearance issues.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 form factor and 2.4mm height fit my laptop slot?

Yes, the drive uses the standard M.2 2280 size and measures 2.4mm tall, which matches most laptop and desktop M.2 slots.

How do I install the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drive, and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 slot, secure it with the motherboard screw, then enable NVMe in BIOS so the OS detects it.

When will the 250GB 3D NAND drive reach its 150 TBW endurance limit?

The 150 TBW rating covers typical consumer workloads for years; SMART attributes let you monitor remaining spare blocks.
