The Seagate IronWolf 510 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2020. It is available in capacities ranging from 240 GB to 1.9 TB. This page reports specifications for the 480 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Seagate IronWolf 510 interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12DC-27 from Phison. Seagate has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the IronWolf 510, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. The IronWolf 510 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 2,650 MB/s and 600 MB/s write; random IO reaches 193K IOPS for read and 20K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 170 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Seagate guarantees an endurance rating of 875 TBW, a good value.

Notes

Controller:

2 main cores using Cortex-R5 clocked at 667 MHz with CoXProcessor technology (one additional dual-core) Cortex-R5 clocked at a lower clock for better efficience. This revision is equals to the Phison E12, the difference among these is that this revision is designed for enterprise and data center applications.
