Crucial P2 NVMe SSD
Discontinued. The maker no longer produces the Crucial P2. We list it while retailers still have stock, which sometimes means a good price on the last units. Its replacement is the Crucial P3.
Components vary. The maker ships the Crucial P2 with different memory or controllers depending on the batch, so two units bought under the same part number can perform differently. Crucial changed the P2 from TLC to QLC mid-life under one part number Our score assumes the weaker configuration.

No DRAM of its own; borrows a little system memory (HMB). Fine for games, slower when heavily loaded.
