The T705 did better but could still become quite hot.<\/p> . . .<\/p> This excessive heat has been the biggest obstacle to the adoption of the PCIe Gen 5\u00d74 standard for SSDs in general. Samsung, for example, initially opted for 2-lane drives, the 990 EVO and 990 EVO Plus, until its recent 4-lane\u00a09100 PRO<\/a>\u00a0drive, where the heat issue was sorted out.<\/p> From the thermal perspective, Micron\u2019s Crucial P510 is the answer to Samsung\u2019s 9100 PRO. The new SSD is said to use some 25% less power, and in my testing, it produced significantly less heat, enough to remain relatively cool to the touch during heavy operation. And I tested the \u201cnaked\u201d version. (The heatsink version is not yet available at the time of this review.)<\/p> . . .<\/p> So, the first and most important thing to note is that with this Crucial P510, you won\u2019t need to worry about a random thermal shutdown, and that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p> . . .<\/p> As shown in the hardware specs, the Crucial P510 is slated to be a tier lower in terms of features and performance grade, being frill-free and DRAM-less.
