Christopher Nohall April 22, 2020 Memory, Tech News

The Crucial P5 is the company's latest addition to its P-series M.2 NVMe SSDs. The P5 SSDs combine 3D NAND and ‘cutting-edge controller technology' to attain read and write speeds of up to 3400MB/s and 3000 MB/s, respectively.

The read and write speeds of up to 3400 respectively 3000 MB/s are described by the company as “pushing the limits of PCIe Gen 3 NVMe”. The Crucial P5 SSDs are also “capable of enhancing data security” and “full-drive encryption” for those who want to keep their data safe. The SSDs use the standard M.2-2280 form-factor and can operate in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Crucial says that it's “backed by Micron’s expert quality and engineering innovation” while also referring to Micron's 40 years on the market as a source of confidence. Additionally, Crucial is offering a 5-year warranty for the Crucial P5 SSD. According to the product flyer the P5 SSDs have a life expectancy of 1.8 million hours.

Crucial P5 will be available soon with a storage capacity ranging from 250 GB all the way up to 2 TB, with the pricing yet to be announced.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
