Micron at the 2025 International CES showed us product that hint at the company planning a strong comeback to the client and PC-DIY market segments. The company's Crucial brand is already a high-volume player in the client segment, but the company never really approached the enthusiast segment. Products like the company's new T705 Pro and P510 NVMe SSDs, and DDR5 Pro Overclocking memory, seek to change this. We begin our tour with PC memory, and the DDR5 Pro OC CUDIMMs. Crucial has jumped onto the CKD bandwagon, introducing memory modules and kits that come with DDR5-6400 out of the box, but which are geared for manual overclocking to take advantage of the 1β DRAM chips underneath (hence the name).

The company also showed us their first DDR5 CSODIMM suitable for the next generation of notebooks with HX-segment processors. This module comes with a CKD and a DDR5-6400 JEDEC-standard SPD profile out of the box. Lastly, there's the Micron-branded LPCAMM2, which comes in speeds of up to LPDDR5X-8533, and is suitable for the next generation of ultraportables.



Switching gears to client SSDs, and we have the star-attraction at the booth, the Crucial T705 Pro and T705 Limited Edition. These are NVMe Gen 5 SSDs that use the company's cutting-edge Micron G9 NAND flash chips, and a Phison E26 Max14um controller, belting out up to 14.5 GB/s of sequential reads, and up to 12.7 GB/s of sequential writes. The drive comes 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities. There's also a limited edition white heatsink variant.



Next up, is a drive which Crucial hopes will become the next MX500—a well priced mainstream SSD that strikes a high performance/dollar balance—the new P510. Launched a couple of days ago, the drive features a new revision of the Phison E31T DRAMless Gen 5 controller, and Micron's latest G9 NAND flash, to produce up to 11 GB/s of sequential reads, and up to 8.6 GB/s of sequential writes. Crucial is aiming for volumes, and will price these drives well.


The Cruial P310 is their new mass-market mainstream SSD, which is based on a Phison E27T Gen 4 controller, offering sequential transfer speeds of up to 7.1 GB/s. There's a version with heatsink for the PlayStation 5. Micron scored several design wins with popular OEMs, and will supply these drives to power their next-gen gaming notebooks and desktops. At the very entry level is the E100, a drive targeting low-cost builds. It comes in 480 GB and 1 TB capacities, with a Gen 4 DRAMless controller paired with G7 QLC NAND. You get sequential transfers of up to 5 GB/s, and endurance of up to 100 TBW.


Next up, Micron showed off a few of its enterprise products, such as the 7450 high capacity SSDs for hot data storage, which comes in capacities of up to 7.68 TB, with extremely high endurance. We also spotted the company's new high-capacity RDIMMs, and MRDIMMs.

Atleast Intel has shown support for user replaceble memory on their recent high power mobile CPUs, and hopefully we will more laptops with CAMM and LPCAMM support in coming days.

looks like lenovo



So many things done wrong. Personally I would have picked a higher build quality product for marketing purposes. Build quality went worse over the years. You see it yourself when you do maintenance and service such things over many years.

I think they do not show on purpose the bottom plate, side view left, right, front and backl

So, we're pretending Ballistix never happened? Ok...
