Pros & Cons
Pros
This p5 flys, only thing i hope they fix in a bios update for the p5 is temps. I have mainboard heatsink on it and it still runs at 50c. Easy to install in my hp 17-by0053cl. Only concern is why there is no mounting screw to put in the motherboard.
The 1 tb drive formats to exactly 1tb and is really fast. It sells for a decent price for 2tb. Crucial has great products and this nvme 1 tb storage stick is nonexception.
This m. Nvme interface is great. Easy peasy. It is easy to add to the m. Bit pricy but it's nvme so whatever.
My pc now boots up so much faster compared to when it was on a standard hdd. Boot time is a tiny bit better than a ssd. Revived my laptop from the slowness of an hdd.
Cons
Samsung scorpion 970 evo series is a far better option. Mbr is not bootable in drives larger then 2tb. The only speed this ssd will write is 7mbps. The drive claims to have hardware encryption.
Not using the claimed hardware encryption. Even if i got it working, i doubt its reliability and sustainability. It makes suspect if it is a used item that had been repackaged.
Highlights
Quality
Crucial makes high quality products and i will continue to use them on future computer upgrades.
Storage executive is well made, allows for monitoring and adjusting of some drive parameters.
Imo a heatsink should be included with this drive, because it gets very toasty in normal day-to-day operation.
The top surface is covered by a sticker that does not conduct heat.
Price
Picked it up on sale for a very good price, and i am satisfied with my purchase.
One of the best price/performance ssd with actual discount
The price was slashed by almost half, i paid about $150 for an nvme that has about 15% less potential bandwidth than the *maxim... Read More

Shipping
Pretty quick, haven't run any benchmarks, plenty of others have.
Super fast and with space to spare.
Competitiveness
I trust crucial and put them in the same reliability category as samsung.
Now the laptop is running faster than ever, and gaming with bethesda skyrim is flawless at highest resolution.
Turns out some other companies like kingston, pny, and adata got caught with their pants down in the past selling ssds with chi... Read More
Was better to upgrade a lower cost notebook with this higher capacity drive for much less than the same notebook with a similar... Read More

It was an objectively good buy factoring in the discount i received and i would assume the seller knows this is happening and adjusted the price as a result i just feel like i didnt get the deal i was advertised

Turns out some other companies like kingston pny and adata got caught with their pants down in the past selling ssds with chips different than what was sent to editors and launch buyers
