Great Storage! Great Value! More Gaming!
The Crucial P310 1TB NVMe SSD (M.2 2280, PCIe Gen4) offers a compelling balance of price and performance for budget-conscious users seeking high-speed storage. Priced around $60-$85 (often below its $94.99 MSRP), it delivers impressive sequential read/write speeds of up to 7,100/6,000 MB/s and random IOPS of 1,000K/1,200K, outperforming many budget Gen4 SSDs in real-world tasks like booting Windows or loading games. Its DRAM-less design with Micron’s 232-layer QLC NAND and Phison E27T controller ensures solid performance and power efficiency, ideal for laptops, desktops, and PS5 consoles. However, its 220TBW endurance is lower than TLC-based drives, making it less suitable for heavy write workloads. Compared to alternatives like the WD Blue SN580 or Teamgroup MP44, the P310’s price-to-performance ratio is excellent when discounted, though TLC drives may offer better longevity for similar cost. For casual gamers and general users, the P310 is a strong value pick.

Works on PS5
Works just fine as it should. Hopefully you don’t have a Best Buy employee tell you to get the Samsung evo pro whatever when I recommended this drive to a friend in store after his 4tb Samsung was a dud. A drive doesn’t need to have an official certification for it to work. You just have to make sure it meets the minimum write and read speeds and even then you can get by with something slightly lower just actually look stuff up like reviews and even videos. Gather info before making a purchase and you’ll be better for it.

Great investment
Great and easy installation on my PS5, had cheap geek squad protection, and is enough storage to get all the games I could want, I have NBA 2k, gta 5, and call of duty, with more storage to spare on it. Very very VERY useful and needed, would buy one that's 2tb on bestbuy for the same price that's compatible with PS5, but this is still a great decision compared to the others
