Crucial P510 2TB Gen5 NVMe SSD
The Crucial P510 is a 2TB internal solid state drive built on PCI-Express 5.0 with NVMe 2.0 protocol. It uses 3D NAND and a DRAM-less design with HMB to deliver sequential reads up to 10,000 MBps and writes up to 9,500 MBps. The single-sided M.2 2280 form factor fits laptops and desktops without a heatsink.
Check M.2 slot keying
Your motherboard or laptop must provide an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCI-Express 5.0 to reach the quoted speeds; a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 slot will work but limits throughput. Verify the slot accepts single-sided modules and that your BIOS supports NVMe 2.0 boot. No heatsink is included, so confirm your chassis has adequate airflow over the drive.
Suits builders wanting Gen5 speed without a heatsink
This drive suits users upgrading a Gen5-capable laptop or desktop who want 2TB of fast storage and can rely on system airflow for cooling. Buyers whose platforms top out at PCIe 4.0, who need a drive with an integrated heatsink, or who require DRAM cache for sustained heavy write workloads should consider other models.

Questions about this item
What is included with the Crucial P510 CT2000P510SSD8-01 and does it come with a heatsink?
The drive ships as a single-sided M.2 2280 module without a heatsink. No mounting screw or cable is included, so your motherboard or laptop must supply the standoff and screw.
Which capacity of the P510 series should I choose for a primary gaming and work drive?
The 2TB model provides 2000 GB of 3D NAND storage with sequential reads up to 10000 MBps and writes up to 9500 MBps, giving ample space for large games and project files.
What does the 10000 MBps headline speed mean once the SSD is installed in my PC?
That figure is the maximum sequential read throughput over a PCIe 5.0 x4 link; real-world load times will be lower and depend on your CPU, motherboard slot and thermal conditions.
