"You also get integrated power loss immunity due to the way Crucial programs the flash.."

That's huge for a consumer drive in a 2280 form factor.

Gotta love competition, they put out some impressive products.

If I have to say 2020-2021 is one of the best years as far as competition is concerned. AMD v Intel is reaching an all time high and Nvidia is having competition.

Not to mention hard drives, you can snag a very capable drive for cheap prices these days

StorageReview was able to lock up their P5 Plus under heavy load. They had to power cycle their system to regain access. Did you see anything like that?

Not thus far. It handled everything I threw at it thus far. Even after writing to the P5 Plus for more than 4x it’s capacity during our write saturation testing, it reformatted fine and benchmarked as if nothing happened.

Is the Nand actually running at it's rated speed of 1,600 MTps on this SSD ?
Or is it doing the same as the Seagate 530 at 1,200 MTps ?

Your guess is as good as mine. Unfortunately, Crucial would not disclose this information.
