    It's such a good deal for 2TB which I've been eyeing for ages but I still can't bring myself to pay $300 for a single storage drive.

      Do it. Unless you know you'll only want 1tb for the next 5 years then it's worth it to avoid incremental upgrade costs and just not to have to install an OS again

      I'm assuming you're running a gaming or creation rig (costs $$$) else you don't need nvme anyway. In which case $300 is nothing. I remember buying 4x750gb to hoard data.. At $700 each. Then doing it again a year later. That was nearly 15 years ago. Storage is cheap as chips these days

      • Void on 11/10/2021 - 11:42

        I'm going to upgrade from a 500GB NVMe drive for gaming since some of the more open world games won't run smoothly on my hard drives. It's just that I have to upgrade CPU as well since 6C6T isn't cutting it either.

        If the prices aren't gonna go down a decent amount in between now and the Zen 4 release I might bite the bullet but for now I'm just gonna watch the deals fly by.

        They'll be cheaper and cheaper :)

          Always.

          But don't annoy yourself. Make sure it's going to last 5 years

          and the controllers will be too ;)

        Paid $200 cash in 1998 for a 6.2GB 7200RPM hard drive to put inside my Pentium 133mmx 64mb ram, 4MB S3 graphics PC.. i upgraded from a 810MB drive that would crash all the time due to bad sectors… had to reinstall windows 98 every month due to that trash drive.

        • Agret on 15/10/2021 - 17:13

          I feel reinstalling Windows 98 every month and having multiple bluescreens every day was just computing back then. You just had to hold the space bar to spam through all the bluescreens and then keep using your PC. The Windows 9x kernel sucked. Windows 98SE was much more stable to its credit.

          At least back then you could boot off the Windows CD and then press a certain key to re-install over the top of your existing install to 'refresh' it. Now if you want to do an in-place repair install on Windows 7/8/10 you actually have to be able to boot into the OS fully, doesn't even work in safe mode.

  • BlinkyBill on 11/10/2021 - 11:40

    That endurance is very much on the low side for a 2TB SSD.

    • Chrool on 11/10/2021 - 11:43

      looks like thats the norm for 2tb NVME. even the top of the line 980 pro has the same.

    • Diji1 on 11/10/2021 - 14:58

      Have you ever heard of anyone losing an SSD due to endurance? Ignoring the recent crypto stuff.

      • BlinkyBill on 11/10/2021 - 15:11

        It happens under heavy loads (just look at the recent M1 Mac thrashing the SSDs), that is why I always check the health of SSD if buying used. And when buying new if you have the option of getting far better TBW of a bit more (I know this bit is subjective and some would say 20-25% isn't a little).

        Here's a good example 2TB 520 about 6 months old here 130TB written, that would be 10.8% of the P5's TBW, but under 3.6% for the 520.

        Definitely happened in the past with smaller, highly utilized drives

      • vid_ghost on 11/10/2021 - 18:01
        +1

        it happens lots when people fill the drive to 95% and that last bit of space is hammered.

          it doesn't work that way with 'newer' drives … isn't that the point or trim / wear leveling the drive will virtualise the address space and move it around without you (or the OS) even knowing. (I say newer because these features haven't always been around .. but they have been for many generations of SSD and NVE is no different).

    • WheelieGoodTime on 12/10/2021 - 11:12

      Crucial P5 2TB, 1.8 million hours.
      Samsung EVO Plus 970 2TB, 1.5 million hours.

  • MeesusEff on 11/10/2021 - 11:53

    Is this better than the MX500?

    • albert0pia on 11/10/2021 - 12:03
      +1

      They are in 2 different classes. The MX500 is SATA-based and tops out at 560/510MB/s transfer speed. NVMe drives are typically in the Gigabytes per second transfer speed league. The MX500 comes in both 2.5" and M.2 form factors. The P2 only comes in the latter.

      TL;DR: The P2 is indeed faster. Now whether it's worth it to pay the NVMe premium is another matter.

        I agree with everything you've said except this is the P5 and not P2 :D

          Sorry. Brain fart.

      • MeesusEff on 11/10/2021 - 12:33

        Ahh ok I didn't understand any of that 😂😭 my husband is building a pc and told me to look out for certain things. Got 2 firecudas 520 and he said to get the MX500 on sale, I'm guessing they have different uses?

        • Jerrysberrys on 11/10/2021 - 12:44

          He already has 2 firecudas? They blow this thing out of the water ,not sure why he would want this unless just for storage

          • MeesusEff on 11/10/2021 - 13:13

            @Jerrysberrys: Yeah he dls a lot of movies which he mostly moves to hard drives, our 2tb just died recently which is what prompted the rebuild lol. So 2 x firecuda 520 1tb and he said a 2tb crucial MX500. I don't know the difference between these stick looking ones or the boxy MX500 lol

              @MeesusEff: Fair enough that's understandable just to use it for storage . Its the same thing as the firecudas just nowhere near the performance but yea for storage thats fine

        • Thomthomx on 11/10/2021 - 13:58
          +1

          Yeah, probably just for storage, he won't need to access the contents of MX500 that much then. For storage the MX500 will be decent at not-so-crazy cost like those NVMe

    Use this as my main drive in my laptop.
    It gets quite hot even with a heatsink. Sitting at about 50 degrees with just normal use

    How much is prime per month for aussies?

    Or am i better off signing up and then cancelling?

    • MeesusEff on 11/10/2021 - 13:30

      $7 a month or $59 a year. Might get a free 1 month trial with your first order. If not after your order is shipped you can try cancel and they might refund you the month fee

    Good deal, hopefully these 2tb m.2's get even cheaper on Black Friday…

    DRAMLESS?

    • Sleepycat3 on 11/10/2021 - 21:32

      Crucial P5 has DRAM.

      I do recommend you add a heatsink to this drive as it does get hot.

      Only got released in Aug so will need a new version before the plus gets cheaper in clear outs.
