The Crucial P2 2TB NVMe SSD has matched its Black Friday price at $160

Up until the Black Friday shopping weekend, the Crucial P2 2TB M.2 NVMe solid state drive’s regular street price was around $210 and had never gone below $190 at most retailers. Then for Black Friday it hit a new low of $159.99. For a few brief, glorious moments it was at a new low. But after that, the price jumped back up to $190 and has been there ever since. If you missed the drop over the holiday weekend, here’s your second chance. Get it for just $160 through Newegg and a couple of other places. Amazon also has it, but the shipping is quite delayed there compared to Newegg that promises delivery sometime in the first week of January.

I don’t know your PC situation, but if you’re working from a budget and you’re looking for the optimal thing to upgrade to improve your computer, you could do a lot worse than this drive. It’s a ton of space for one thing. You don’t see a lot of 2TB SSDs go on sale. It’s also really fast. If you aren’t using an M.2 NVMe SSD yet, you have no excuses now. They are definitely premium drives and at their regular prices are considered a luxury, but this is just too good of a deal and the improvement you’ll see will blow your mind.

The Crucial P2 has read/write speeds of up to 2400 Mb/s and 1900 MB/s respectively. That’s not the fastest in the world, sure, but the P2 is a couple generations behind. It’s still a major upgrade over any regular hard drive or SSD. The change in speed will be directly noticable when loading your operating system, large games, or any sort of heavy-duty application that normally takes quite a while. And with 2TB of space, you can install all of them.

Crucial also includes some free management software that helps you optimize the P2’s performance and secure your data. Plus, it’s covered by a 5-year warranty.
