Crucial P510 2TB Gen5 NVMe SSD with Heatsink
2TBPCIe Gen5 x4 NVMeUp to 10,000MB/sHeatsink ·PS5
The Crucial P510 2TB with heatsink, part number CT2000P510SSD5, is an efficient, value-focused PCIe Gen5 internal M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with reads up to 10,000MB/s and an integrated heatsink. From Crucial (the consumer brand of Micron), it brings next-generation speed to mainstream gaming and creator builds at close to a Gen4 price, using Micron’s latest G9 276-layer TLC NAND — and the heatsink version is PlayStation 5 compatible.
With sequential reads up to 10,000MB/s and writes up to 8,700MB/s, the P510 delivers a real step up over Gen4. Carrying EAN 0649528946263 and MPN CT2000P510SSD5, this model includes an integrated heatsink to keep temperatures down, is rated for 1,200TBW and is backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility note
To reach its full speed the P510 needs an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 slot, found on recent desktop motherboards; it is backward compatible with PCIe Gen4 at reduced speed. This version includes an integrated heatsink and is PlayStation 5 compatible — the heatsink adds height, so check M.2 clearance in desktops and that it suits your console’s slot. It will not work in SATA-only M.2 slots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work in the PlayStation 5?
Yes. This heatsink version of the P510 is PlayStation 5 compatible, meeting the console’s speed requirement with cooling included. Always check the drive fits yourPS5’s storage expansion slot dimensions before installing.
What do I need to get the full 10,000MB/s speed?
You need a motherboard with an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 slot. The P510 also works in Gen4 slots, but at Gen4 speeds. Gen5 is currently found mainly on recent desktop platforms; on thePS5 it runs at the console’s supported speed.
How is this different from flagship Gen5 drives?
Flagship Gen5 drives like the Crucial T710 reach around 14,500MB/s but run hotter and cost more. The P510 targets efficient, mainstream Gen5 at up to 10,000MB/s — cooler and far better value, often called "Gen5 at a Gen4 price."
Is the heatsink version worth it?
If you want cooling included — for a desktop without M.2 cooling or forPS5 use — the heatsink version (SSD5) is the convenient choice. If your motherboard already has an M.2 heatsink, the bare version (SSD8) saves a little.
Singular Expert Insight
The Crucial P510 is the value play in Gen5, and this heatsink version adds cooling andPS5 compatibility. It delivers a Genuine step up over Gen4 at up to 10,000MB/s, priced close to fast Gen4 drives, with a 5-year warranty. The 2TB with heatsink is ideal for aPS5 or a desktop without its own M.2 cooling. If you want chart-topping speed, the flagship T710 is faster (and hotter); for everyday gaming a strong Gen4 drive like the Samsung 990 PRO feels similar for less. The P510 heatsink is the sensible, cool-running middle ground. Compare tiers across our
