BarraCuda 510 500GB PCIe NVMe SSD

The BarraCuda 510 is a 500GB M.2 2280 internal SSD using 3D TLC NAND and a PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface. It delivers sequential reads up to 3400 MBps and writes up to 2400 MBps. Random read performance reaches 410000 IOPS with random writes at 540000 IOPS.

Ideal for laptop and desktop upgrades needing NVMe

This drive suits users upgrading ultra-thin laptops, mini PCs or desktops that accept a single-sided M.2 2280 module. It is not suited for systems limited to SATA interfaces or those requiring higher endurance than 320 terabytes written.

Handles OS, apps and games.

The 500GB capacity comfortably holds an operating system, applications and a game library with room for daily file transfers. Sustained heavy write workloads will exhaust the 320 TBW endurance rating sooner than larger-capacity models.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe G3 x4 and NVMe 1.3 for this ZP500CM3A001 to work?

Yes, the drive requires an M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCIe Gen3 x4 with NVMe 1.3 support; SATA-only M.2 slots will not work.

Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch SATA SSD installed while adding this BarraCuda 510 500GB drive?

Yes, the M.2 NVMe drive and a 2.5-inch SATA SSD use separate interfaces and can run together if the board has both connectors and enough PCIe lanes.

How can I verify the drive is delivering up to 3400 MB/s reads and 2400 MB/s writes after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD and compare the results to the rated 3400 MB/s read and 2400 MB/s write figures; SeaTools SSD can also confirm health and SMART attributes.
