Crucial P510 SSD Review: Mainstream pcie 5.0 Arrives
crucial has entered the PCIe 5.0 SSD arena with the P510, aiming to address the shortcomings of the first-generation drives. Early PCIe 5.0 SSDs,while boasting remarkable benchmark numbers,frequently enough suffered from high prices,excessive heat,and critically important power consumption.The P510 seeks to offer a more balanced approach, prioritizing efficiency and affordability without sacrificing too much performance.
Crucial is positioning the P510 as a mainstream PCIe 5.0 option. But can it deliver? Let’s dive into the review. A big thanks to Crucial for providing the SSD for testing.
Design and Build
The P510 maintains a familiar Crucial aesthetic. Its black sticker and PCB are reminiscent of the P3 and P5 series, offering a clean and understated look.

The SSD feels well-built and adheres to the standard 2280 M.2 form factor.

Crucial offers the P510 with or without a heatsink. The heatsink version is primarily targeted at PlayStation 5 users looking to expand their storage.
Under the Hood: The Tech Specs
The P510 is powered by the Phison E31T controller. This controller is built on a more efficient manufacturing process compared to the high-end E26 found in drives like the T700.

The E31T promises lower heat and power consumption, making it a good fit for a mainstream drive. It’s paired with micron’s latest 276-layer TLC NAND (G9 Flash), representing Micron’s most advanced NAND technology. Notably, the E31T is a DRAM-less controller, placing it in the upper mid-range category.
Specifications:
| Capacity | Read Speed (MB/s) | Write Speed (MB/s) |
|—|—|—|
| 1 TB | 11000 | 9500 |
| 2 TB | 11000 | 9500 |
Currently, the P510 is available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities. Both versions are rated for 11,000 MB/s read and 9,500 MB/s write speeds.Test Bench
The following system was used for testing:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WIFI
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Operating System: Windows 11 pro 22H2
This is the same test system used for previous SSD reviews, ensuring consistent comparisons.
Benchmark Results
Let’s get to the numbers!
crystaldiskmark:
CrystalDiskMark is used to evaluate the maximum potential performance of the drive.

The P510 achieved a read speed of 11119 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark,slightly exceeding Crucial’s rated speed. While not “top-tier” for a PCIe 5.0 SSD,it handily outperforms any PCIe 4.0 drive.

Write speeds also exceeded the rated 9,500 MB/s, reaching 9522 MB/s.Again, this places the P510 behind the high-end PCIe 5.0 models but ahead of the PCIe 4.0 pack.
AS SSD, while a bit dated, provides a different viewpoint on performance.

AS SSD paints a slightly different picture, placing the P510 in the lower high-end or upper mid-range. It’s still a solid performer, but it’s no longer clearly ahead of all PCIe 4.0 drives in this test.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities:
Anvil’s Storage utilities results are more in line with CrystalDiskMark.

The P510 doesn’t quite reach the heights of the Lexar NM1090 Pro or Samsung 9100 pro, but it remains ahead of the PCIe 4.0 competition.
PCMark:
PCMark attempts to simulate real-world usage scenarios.

The P510 performs well in the “Full System Drive” benchmark, placing it in the upper tier of tested drives. Interestingly, it performs slightly weaker in the “Data Drive” test.
3DMark SSD Test:
The 3DMark SSD test focuses on game loading times and related tasks.
