Capacity and interface

The Crucial P5 Plus CT2000P5PSSD8 is a 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe internal solid-state drive. It connects via a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface and uses Micron 3D NAND with a proprietary controller.

Suited for high-throughput workloads

Sequential reads reach up to 6600 MBps and writes up to 5000 MBps, targeting gamers, professionals and creatives who need fast load times and sustained throughput. The drive includes adaptive thermal protection and a 2.4mm height, but buyers with platforms limited to PCIe 3.0 will not see the rated peak speeds.

Endurance rating

The drive is rated for 1200 TBW and an MTTF of 2 million hours, indicating high write endurance for heavy workloads. Full-drive encryption supports TCG Opal 2.0, and the operating temperature range spans 0°C to 70°C.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive fit in my PS5 console?

Yes, the 2.4 mm height and PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface meet Sony's requirements for internal storage expansion.

Does the 2 TB capacity provide enough endurance for heavy daily writes?

The 1200 TBW rating and 2 million hour MTTF indicate the drive is built for sustained workloads such as gaming, content creation and professional applications.

Is a separate heatsink required for reliable operation?

Adaptive thermal protection is integrated, but adding a motherboard or aftermarket heatsink can help maintain peak sequential read speeds of 6600 MBps and write speeds of 5000 MBps under prolonged loads.
