1TB NVMe drive for creators and gamers

The Crucial P5 CT1000P5SSD8 is a 1TB internal SSD built with 3D NAND and a PCIe Gen3 NVMe interface. It targets tech enthusiasts, professional designers and serious gamers who need responsive storage for operating systems, creative applications and game libraries. Sequential reads reach up to 3400 MBps and writes up to 3000 MBps. The drive carries a 1.8 million hour MTTF rating.

M.2 2280 slot with Gen3 support required

The drive fits a standard M.2 2280 slot and requires a motherboard that supports PCIe Gen3 NVMe. No additional power cables or drive bays are needed, freeing space inside compact desktops and laptops. Dynamic write acceleration and adaptive thermal protection help maintain consistent performance during sustained workloads. Full hardware-based encryption secures data without reducing throughput.

600 TBW endurance and encryption included

The 1TB capacity is rated for 600 TBW of total bytes written, backed by a limited five-year warranty. Hardware-based encryption is active out of the box, protecting files without extra software setup. Dynamic write acceleration and error correction work automatically to optimise durability. The drive operates reliably between 0°C and 70°C.
