Crucial Expands Memory and Storage Lineup, Unlocking Unmatched Performance for Users

The latest P510 SSD provides rapid Gen5 NVMe capabilities to enable more fluid and engaging gaming and application experiences

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Consumer Electronics Show— Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) has today declared enhancements across its Crucial consumer memory and storage lineup, which includes the introduction of the high-speed Crucial P510 SSD, alongside increased density and form factor choices within its existing DRAM range to offer greater options and adaptability for consumers. The P510 boasts read and write speeds reaching up to 11,000/9,550 megabytes per second (MB/s), providing remarkable Gen5 performance for a wider audience.

“With the thrilling memory and storage products we’re launching today, Crucial’s lineup is now more extensive and robust than ever,” remarked Dinesh Bahal, corporate vice president and general manager of Micron’s Commercial Products Group. “These advancements — from making speedy Gen5 SSDs accessible to the general public to introducing high-density memory alternatives — demonstrate our dedication to fostering innovation, performance, and value for every consumer, ranging from casual gamers to creatives, students, and dedicated enthusiasts.”

The company is exhibiting the P510 along with a strong array of demonstrations showcasing configurations for various price points and computing applications, from high-performance gaming to professional photography, as well as general home, office, and student usage, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week. These demonstrations highlight Crucial’s extensive portfolio in partnership with Crucial’s ecosystem and systems integration collaborators, featuring cutting-edge devices that incorporate Crucial solutions like gaming PCs, motherboards, CPUs, and consoles from ASRock, Beelink, be quiet!, Falcon Northwest, Gigabyte, PlayStation, MECHREVO and ThundeRobot and TRYX.

New SSD products deliver rapid, energy-efficient storage solutions for consumers
Engineered for both laptops and desktops, the P510 features a new architecture that is more power-efficient, consuming 25% less energy compared to previous Crucial Gen5 SSDs, facilitating longer battery life.¹

This introduction builds on Crucial’s two years of leading the Gen5 market, which has now made that speed accessible to a wider audience. Its rapid read/write capabilities enable users to enhance productivity and experience smoother, more immersive activities, ranging from gaming to creative tasks. The SSD is available in 1 terabyte (TB) and 2TB capacity options, featuring an integrated heatsink. The P510 also offers a single-sided design, simplifying installation—even in the latest Gen5-compatible laptops.

Crucial is further broadening its SSD lineup with a heatsink variant of its Crucial P310 2280 SSD. The included heatsink is specifically engineered to fit within and function with PlayStation 5 but can also be utilized in desktops, providing desktop gamers and creators with unrestrained performance. With read speeds reaching 7,100 MB/s, the SSD offers fast, dependable storage at an affordable and energy-efficient rate.

Crucial broadens its gaming product range and supports AI PCs with higher density memory modules
Alongside its new storage solutions, Crucial is substantially increasing its consumer memory offerings with the following updates:

• Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking (OC) Gaming Memory: Crucial now presents a new 32GB density option for its Crucial DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory. These enhancements follow closely on the heels of Crucial’s initial February launch of the gaming memory operating at 6000 megatransfers per second (MT/s), succeeded by the October release of the 6400 MT/s – both available in 16GB densities. The introduction of the 32GB option across both speed tiers allows dedicated gamers and DIY enthusiasts to enjoy improved gameplay and multitasking without concerns regarding bottlenecks, slow frame rates, or extended load times.
• Crucial DDR5 Pro Plug-and-Play Memory: For gamers, creatives, and professionals who require DDR5 performance immediately, Crucial DDR5 Pro Plug-and-Play Memory effortlessly enhances system performance without the hassle of overclocking, latency adjustments, die chasing, or LED configurations. Filling a gap in the marketplace, Crucial is now offering this solution in a 64GB density, with a speed of 5,600 MT/s, marking it as the world’s first DDR5 64GB module with a heat spreader. Users requiring greater capacity will have the opportunity to acquire this solution as a 128GB kit composed of two 64GB modules. By providing these higher densities, Crucial empowers consumers to future-proof their systems against increasingly data-heavy games and applications, enabling better multitasking and handling of larger files for 3D modeling, graphic design, creating 4K and 8K content, real-time rendering, and more—without the worry of system slowdowns or crashes.
• Essential DDR5 CUDIMM/CSODIMM: Expanding upon the 16 GB DDR5 unbuffered dual inline memory modules (CUDIMM) and small outline dual memory modules (CSODIMM) introduced in October, Crucial is now providing CUDIMM options in 32 and 64GB capacities and CSODIMM options in 24 and 32GB capacities at 6400 MT/s. With these enhancements, Crucial boasts the most extensive range of JEDEC-compliant CUDIMM and CSODIMMs available in the market, facilitating wider acceptance of the new CUDIMM and CSODIMM form factors with greater capacity selections to more effectively support data-driven AI PCs.
• Crucial DDR5 UDIMM/SODIMM: Crucial is introducing its Crucial Classic DDR5 Memory available in a 64GB capacity at the 5600 MT/s speed tier, across both UDIMM and SODIMM configurations. Crucial® DDR5 Memory offers the rapid speed and substantial bandwidth essential for the upcoming generation of multi-core CPUs, empowering users to multitask efficiently, load, analyze, edit, and render more swiftly, game at elevated frame rates, and significantly minimize system lag for demanding workloads compared to the previous generation.
• MRDIMM: Crucial is now distributing multiplexed rank dual inline memory modules (MRDIMMs) throughout the distribution channel to consumers. Micron’s MRDIMM offerings provide the crucial bandwidth and capacity at reduced latency required to scale AI inference and high-performance computing tasks on next-generation server architectures.
