Micron Technology announced the 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.
Crucial P5 Plus SSDs enable lower power, higher speed, and denser storage solutions. Micron’s advanced 176L 3D TLC NAND and innovative controller technology, yields up to 66 percent faster sequential write speeds and nearly double the sequential reads of prior generation Crucial SSDs3.
Teresa Kelley, vice president and general manager of Micron’s Consumer Products Group, said: “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 percent faster random read and 40 percent faster random write performance over prior Crucial Gen3 SSDs. the P5 Plus is 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. These new Crucial PCIe Gen4 SSDs are backward compatible for most Gen3 PC systems that support M.2 form factors.
Crucial, Micron’s global consumer brand, is available on crucial.com and worldwide from leading retail and e-tail stores, commercial resellers and system integrators, enhancing system performance and user productivity on every continent.
