ModelCT1000P310SSD8
The Crucial P310 1TB is a fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive for gaming, creators and power users who want Gen4 speeds without paying flagship prices. With up to 7,100/6,000 MB/s, modern HMB caching, and 220 TBW endurance, it’s an easy, single-sided M.2 2280 upgrade for desktops and laptops.
Why it’s a good choice
-
Gen4 speed sweet spot: Up to 7.1 GB/s reads and 6.0 GB/s writes deliver quick boots, level loads and rapid project file transfers.
-
Budget-friendly performance: DRAM-less + HMB design keeps costs down while still pushing high sequential and random throughput.
-
Laptop-friendly build: Single-sided 2280 PCB improves clearance under thin notebook bottom covers and OEM heatsinks.
-
Future-proof, yet flexible: Runs at full speed on PCIe 4.0 and falls back cleanly to PCIe 3.0 for older systems.
-
Proven reliability: 220 TBW, 1.5M-hour MTTF, and Crucial/Micron NAND pedigree plus a 5-year warranty.
-
Easy upgrade path: Works as an OS drive or fast game/project storage; clone your old drive, drop in, and go.
