Micron’s New Crucial P5 Plus PCIe SSDs Unleash Gen4 Speed to Supercharge Consumer PC Performance
August 03 2021 - 9:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced the immediate
availability of Crucial P5 Plus PCIe SSDs as an expansion of its
award-winning NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) portfolio to offer
high-performance internal Gen4 storage options to consumers. By
leveraging Micron’s first-to-market volume shipments of 176-layer
NAND, Crucial P5 Plus SSDs enable lower power, higher speed, and
denser storage solutions. Additionally, Micron’s advanced 176L 3D
TLC NAND and innovative controller technology, yields up to 66%
faster sequential write speeds and nearly double the sequential
reads of prior generation Crucial SSDs3.
“With data intensive workloads on the rise, consumers
increasingly demand high-performance storage solutions for their
needs including engineering applications, video editing, content
creation and gaming,” said Teresa Kelley, vice president and
general manager of Micron’s Consumer Products Group. “By using
our powerful, industry-leading 176-layer 3D NAND, coupled with the
latest high-bandwidth storage interface, the P5 Plus Gen4 SSD makes
lightning-fast computing storage accessible for a broad spectrum of
consumers in the market.”
With read speeds up to 6600MB/s, Crucial P5 Plus SSDs also
enable up to 67% faster random read and 40% faster random write
performance over prior Crucial Gen3 SSDs4. Ideal for a new PCIe
Gen4 PC build or a PCIe Gen3 system upgrade, the P5 Plus is
compatible with both and has been tested on Intel and AMD platforms
including the latest 11th Generation
Intel® Core™ processors and AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0
motherboards. Likewise, these new Crucial PCIe Gen4 SSDs are
backward compatible for most Gen3 PC systems that support M.2 form
factors5.
The new high-performance Crucial P5 Plus PCIe Gen4 SSD rounds
out Crucial’s stellar internal and external SSD product offerings
such as the MX500, BX500, P5, P2, X8 and X6. Additionally, all P5
Plus SSDs come with our Crucial Storage Executive management
software for performance optimization, data security and firmware
updates, as well as free cloning software to ensure easy
installation right out of the box.
