And how do you know these information (which are mostly wrong anyway)? The first search about Crucial P5 review shows the Tom's Hardware review link and tons of comments about how it runs hot and has a lower than average performance. May be a basic Google search before posting comments will help you next time.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-p5-m-2-nvme-ssd-review
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/kingston-a2000-m2-nvme-ssd [tomshardware.com]

Go through the above review links for P5 and A2000 respectively.

Literally my asus x570 tuf gaming plus will not boot with the p5 installed. Google it, common issue. P5 isn't better in every way

I mean, P5 kind of has a reputation for running hot and drawing a lot of power (not ideal for laptop battery life)
Scoring higher sequential speeds on CrystalDiskMark or whatever doesn't make the drive faster, because those speeds will almost never be relevant.
https://www.techpowerup.com/revie...-nvme-ssd/
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.

For my usage I have both housed in a thunderbolt 3 enclosure with thermal pads connnected to outer metal enclosure body. I always get 860+ with P5 and ~500 with A2000. And I can notice the 4k video Airdrops from my iphone taking a bit longer when I'm booted from the A2000. For temperature I haven't checked with a temp gun but I feel both are around the same ...

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Suryasis

Quote from gh0stx :
So for gaming laptops to be used for office works and gaming, as well as boot drive rather get A2000 since it is cheaper, cooler and relatively the same in real world usage?

P5 only if you can put heatsink? I probably wont have a heatsink for the laptop
Both of these SSDs are budget SSD and don't worth extra money for heatsink. And I think you can see the other guys post in the top where he mentioned how he is using the SSD, inside an external thunderbolt enclosure, not inside a computer or laptop.
Both has similar real world performance and A2000 runs cooler, it will be my preference irrespective of the use case. If you want better performance, spend around 100 bucks to get something better like Sabrent Rocket, SX8200, WD SN750 etc, rather than P5+heat sink.

Yes thats exactly what I see P5 gives me 860+ speeds with my Mac Mini M1 , when i'm booting through the A2000 I can barely touch 500
Temperature wise I do not feel any difference .. I'll go for P5 anyday over this a2000​
How would this be in comparison with Sandisk Ultra 1TB PCIe Gen 3x4 NVMe?

To a drive that costs much more of course. That's how comparisons with no details work on SD.

It's within the realm of possibility that both can have varying temperature ranges, based upon complimentary hardware, and software loads that can vary from CPU/core/threading differences.

While I would usually agree, the previous S50 lite deal from Adata does beat this ssd in terms of both price and speed.

Thanks for the link. I need I believe a Gen3 for a 8th gen intel HP computer. So many options dropping in price now. Don't know which to buy. But 800 MB/s is SATA speeds.
