Micron Technology, Inc., today announced expansions across its Crucial consumer memory and storage portfolio, including unveiling the high-speed Crucial P510 SSD, and expanding density and form factor options across its existing DRAM portfolio to enable broader choice and flexibility for consumers. The P510 features read and write speeds of up to 11,000/9,550 megabytes per second (MB/s), bringing blazing fast Gen5 performance to the masses.
“With the exciting memory and storage offerings we’re debuting today, Crucial’s portfolio is now broader and stronger than ever before,” said Dinesh Bahal, corporate vice president and general manager of Micron’s Commercial Products Group. “These updates — from making fast Gen5 SSDs available to the mainstream to launching high-density memory options — illustrate our commitment to driving innovation, performance and value for every consumer from casual gamers to creatives and students to hardcore enthusiasts.”
The company is showcasing the P510 and a robust set of demos highlighting builds for every price point and computing use case, from high-end performance gaming to professional photography to mainstream home, office and student use, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week. These demos showcase Crucial’s broad portfolio in collaboration with Crucial’s ecosystem and systems integration partners, with state-of-the-art devices integrating Crucial solutions such as gaming PCs, motherboards, CPUs and consoles from ASRock, Beelink, be quiet!, Falcon Northwest, Gigabyte, PlayStation, MECHREVO and ThundeRobot and TRYX.
New SSD offerings provide fast, power-efficient storage for consumers
Built for both laptops and desktops with a new, more power-efficient architecture, the P510 consumes 25% less power than previous Crucial Gen5 SSDs to support longer battery life.
This launch builds on Crucial’s two years of experience leading the Gen5 market, now making that speed available to a broader market. Its fast read/write speeds allow users to maximize productivity and enjoy smoother, more immersive experiences, from gaming to creative applications. The SSD is offered in 1 terabyte (TB) and 2TB capacity options, with an integrated heatsink. The P510 also offers a single-sided design which is easy to install — even in newer Gen5 enabled laptops.
Crucial is also expanding its SSD offerings with a heatsink version of its Crucial P310 2280 SSD. The integrated heatsink is designed to fit into and work with PlayStation 5, but can also be used with desktops, providing desktop gamers and creators unthrottled performance. With read speeds of 7,100 MB/s, the SSD makes fast, reliable storage and capacity affordable and power-efficient.
