CONCLUSION

    The Crucial P510 is a mid-end Gen5 M.2 NVMe drive and well, it does a great job at being just that. It can’t compete with drives like the T705 again by Crucial (or the newly released T710, review soon) but for people who just don’t care about having the best read and write speeds this will not matter much. On top of that even without a heatsink the P510 does very well (thanks to the Phison E31T controller) and that too matters quite a bit. Again, my sole issue with this drive (as with most others) is capacity and this is coming from someone who thinks even 4TB is too little in 2025, let alone 2TB. Hopefully Crucial will eventually update their P510 line to also include a 4TB capacity variant.

The brand new P510 Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD by Crucial currently “sits” at USD239.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 187.55Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so at least on this side of Atlantic it’s priced quite well. Overall, for the most part the P510 delivers on most things that count, it’s fast, durable, is covered by a good 5-year limited warranty and it’s priced well which is why it gets the Golden Award.
