Crucial P5 M.2 PCIe NVMe 2TB

Smooth operation, good performance.

Works fine, will see over time, decent performance.
Just a pity that a 2Tb displayed, is not really 2048Gb, but just 2000Gb, which is even more frustrating once formatted, because we have barely 1862Gb... ??
But nothing has changed for years, manufacturers are ripping us off on the capacity of the disks...
Some brands are more honest on some models, but it remains rare...
Reminder: 1 Tera Byte is 1024 Giga Bytes and not 1000 Giga Bytes as it is sold for years, but alas we are still being cheated.
Gee guys, eih ohhh, almost 186 Giga Bytes lost on a disk is huge. Not to mention that an SSD has a limited cell life of 300 write cycles on this type of drive. And that it is important not to fill it to more than 50-60% over a long period of time so that the system can even out the wear of the chips, otherwise it is sudden death and premature wear of the cells, a loss of capacity over time, and of data...
So do the math, considering the exorbitant prices of SSDs, you get double the bang for your buck... Roughly a loss of more than 600GB really. So for me a 2TB SSD should be displayed as 1TB or even 1.4TB really usable over the life of the drive...

Good value for money

It's crucial so good value for money, but I still find the price of the 2TB m2 too expensive and because of the inherited formatting of physical disks for the allocation of the partition table we lose quite a bit of space.
Bought to replace as main disk the one of the asus laptop: https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00487881.html?offerId=AR202112130200
I'm not sure if this is the best way to install Windows 10 on a laptop with an 11th gen Intel processor, but I'm sure you'll need the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) driver (available on the asus website for this laptop model) to be installed in a folder on the usb key that installs w10.

Absolutely perfect

I was a bit stressed at first as my computer didn't recognise the SSD, but it turns out that this was simply due to the fact that it didn't have a letter assigned to it.
The SSD is perfect, the capacity is excellent and it doesn't hurt the processing speed.

good product beware of the drivers needed for this SSD

This ssd was not recognized at first by W10 so I had to fiddle with downloading micro NVMe drivers to format it.
