Go through the above review links for P5 and A2000 respectively.
Scoring higher sequential speeds on CrystalDiskMark or whatever doesn't make the drive faster, because those speeds will almost never be relevant.

You can see here they perform pretty much identically in real world usage. A2000 even edges it out a bit overall. It only loses when doing long, intensive write workloads (again, hardly ever relevant) because of the A2000's inconsistent SLC utilization.

I have both P5 and Kingston running here and I can tell P5 is much FASTER and almost always cooler 😀
Consider where UEFI was adopted to counter BIOS viruses, that was then quickly turned into some manufacturers applying even further restrictive BIOS level encoding to curb competition. The Open Source markets were in an uproar over no Legacy option to easily use Linux, etc.. More recently Intel adopted Intel Rapid Stor(e) tech that placed extreme limitations on Open Source, and led the way to further proprietary, monopolistic practices like even more chip/board manufacturers are considering/applying.
And this on top of suppressive markets due to supply chain/economic/ecological swings...
This pattern will continue to cause even more 'viral' vacillations in these, and ancillary value spaces for years - if not decades to come if extreme measures are not taken to curb them.

Is slower and hotter than the one on the thread? Thanks

A2000 has the same setup as the P5 (2 channels) and controllers in the same tier, P5's does run hotter though, I tested them a few months back. The a2000 is in between midrange and budget due to the 64l or 96l micron nand (sequential speeds on 4k r/w similar to drives with QLC nand) and 2263 controller not even close to a 2262en controller.

Temperature wise I do not feel any difference .. I'll go for P5 anyday over this a2000​

P5 only if you can put heatsink? I probably wont have a heatsink for the laptop

Even in workloads where the P5 should beat the A2000, it likely won't beat it by that much since it's certainly going to throttle even harder on a laptop.
