It is difficult to wrap our heads around how affordable NVMe SSDs have become, particularly 2TB versions. There was a time when such capacities were available for no less than $250, and now, Crucial’s P3 Plus with the same storage is available for only $112.99 on Amazon, making it an incredible value proposition for customers wanting to outfit their laptop, desktop computer, or even with a PS5 with an ultra-fast and compact solid state drive.

According to Crucial, this NVMe SSD can deliver up to 5,000MB/s sequential read speeds, up to 4,200MB/s sequential write speeds, and a random and write IOPS rating of 650,000 and 900,000, respectively. In layman's terms, not only will this drive help transfer heaps of data in a matter of seconds, but it will also make your system more responsive, which are the obvious upgrades you are looking for. Also, given that modern AAA games require more and more storage, having a 2TB NVMe SSD should be the bare minimum these days.

With incredible data transfer speeds available at such incredible value, it is difficult to ignore this deal

Another reason to pick up an NVMe SSD from a reputable brand is its longevity. Crucial claims that its P3 Plus has an MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) rating of 1.5 million hours, so by the time the storage drive actually shows signs of wear, which will be several years from now, you will be searching online for a new upgrade. Crucial also offers a 5-year limited warranty with your purchase, but we recommend backing up your data as a precaution.

If you want double the storage, the same data transfer speeds, and the budget to back up a more expensive purchase, we recommend going for the 4TB version of the Crucial P3 Plus, available on Amazon for just $224.99. While this storage variant will easily fit in your PS5 or desktop motherboard, you will have to double-check your laptop’s specifications as the 4TB PCIe NVMe SSD has memory chips on both sides, which takes up more space. Not all laptops are designed to fit solid state drives with memory chips on both sides, so be mindful of this important fact.
