The 2TB Crucial P5 Plus sees minor performance gains thanks to twice the flash dies, but could use some work on its efficiency. Still, with overall solid performance, ultra-competitive pricing, and a solid feature set, the P5 Plus is a great value for those in search of a new PCIe Gen4 SSD.

An unambiguous improvement over the original P5. However, its IOPS scores are lacking, and performance suffers when the cache is overrun. Compared with other PCIe 4.0 drives, this one is affordable but not spectacular.

The Crucial P5 Plus barely surfaces above the minimum recommended speeds for the PS5 and offers average performance in the process which holds it back from a truly viable option for your console.
