- It’s not quite as popular as other SSD models, but the 2TB configuration of the Crucial P5 Plus M.2 SSD is currently on sale for $161.49, down from its usual price of $319.99. It certainly isn’t the fastest SSD on the market, but the advertised 6600MB/s transfer speed makes the Crucial worth checking out if you need some inexpensive storage.
