What can I say? It does it's job and at a pretty good price point. It's been about 2 months since I've purchased. I've had literally 0 issues so far. Easy install, didn't require a heat sink. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

The Crucial P310 2TB Gen4 NVMe has exceeded my expectations. With read and write speeds close to 7100 MB/s, the system feels extremely responsive — from Windows boot times to game loading and heavy file editing. Installation was simple, and with the motherboard heatsink it stays cool under load. A fantastic choice for anyone who wants top-tier performance and plenty of storage in a single SSD.

I was so tired of running out of space on storage so I was looking at option for upgrades and bought this since it was 2TB. Easy install since my motherboard had an option to add another storeage stick and it was also a great value.

I put this in a sleek Aluminum OWC Express 1M2 enclosure. This enclosure is rated up to 3200MB/s with 3151MB/s real-world performance. I'm sure how close this will get to the advertised speeds of 7100MB/s as this enclosure maxes out at 3MB/s.

I got the 2TB Crucial P310 NVMe M.2 SSD to use as a second drive for additional storage in my Asus ROG gaming tower and it surely does not disappoint. I had previously upgraded the memory with another high performance product from Crucial, Pro-series DDR5-6000 memory which made a considerable difference in overall system performance.
The drive was packed extremely well in two boxes, I wish other vendors were as careful and generous with their packing. Installation was super easy and there was no issue detecting the drive. After creating a partition and formatting the drive, I installed and ran one of my favorite driving games and took it for a spin. Very fast start-up and loading times and no buffering whatsoever.
Despite its large capacity, it is a thin, single sided PCB, with the most advanced Micron 3D NAND chips, so it will also fit in laptops. I also ran a basic performance test using the winsat -disk command in Windows 11 and got ~ 6,900 MB/s Sequential Read performance and just under 6,000 MB/s for Sequential Writes which comes close to the advertised numbers. I’m sure with some driver updates and perhaps Crucial Storage Executive Tool, you could squeeze even more performance out of this drive. Comparatively, my primary OS drive, a previous Gen NVMe M2 SSD drive could only muster 5,400 MB/s Reads and 3,400 MB/s Sequential Writes, so this Crucial P310 NVMe SSD is a cool winner, cause it doesn’t run hot and is more energy efficient as well.
Overall, I am very pleased with this quality NVMe drive from Crucial who also stands behind their product with a 5-year warranty.

The Crucial P310...A Crucially good value
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Crucial's P310 SSD (2280 size) is a great PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive at a nice price point. The P310 comes with a 5-year warranty and some nice revisions compared to previous Gen 4 drives. The P310 has slightly faster access time than previous drives as well as a newer chipset that doesn't get as warm. My drive stayed cool and I didn't feel the need to add a heatsink to the drive although you may want one if you're in a warm environment. Installing the drive was a breeze as well as cloning my original drive as Crucial provides a version of the Acronis cloning software on their website to clone your existing drive. The packaging and documentation are pretty barebones (to save costs) and that extends to the Crucial Storage Executive software as well. That being said those shortcomings are the P310's only real downsides as it as overall great drive. My drive performed well but did not reach the exact advertised speed, but I chalk that up to not using the "Momentum Cache" or the "Over Provisioning" features in the Crucial Storage Executive software. The P310's new chipset is also more energy efficient so as I mentioned before it runs cooler and in a mobile device it would yield better battery life. It's large storage size of 2 Terabytes also makes it a great fast storage device for games and it is compatible with the PlayStation 5. This version of the P310 at 2TB also has a wear rating of 440 TBW (Terabytes Written) so it will last a long time. Overall, I'm happy with the Crucial P310 as it's a great performing NVMe SSD at a decent price.

The crucial P310 is a 2tb gen 4 NVME drive (2280 model, the longer one so it may not be right for mobile devices). It's supposed to be pretty fast. I popped this into a modern desktop with 3 other NVME drives (two gen4 and one gen3 drive) and put it through it's paces.
If you've never installed storage before, or it's your first time with an NVME, no worries. It's super simple. The hardest part by far will be getting to your NVME slot, which means opening up your case/laptop chassis. After that it just pops right in and secures with a screw (not included) or built-in fastener depending on the manufacturer. After that go to disk management in windows, find the unformatted volume, right click, follow the prompts and bam ... you've got a new drive. Don't be alarmed when the drive shows 1863ishGB, that's correct. So it's installed, and how does it perform?
It's fast. Fast enough that I made it my boot drive. In synthetic benchmarks I'm getting close to that 7100MB/s read (close, but not quite there) which is cool. But synthetic benchmarks don't reflect day to day usage. How has this drive affected gaming and boot time? Not at all. For me. But I was already using very fast storage, this is maybe another 5% faster for me, but nothing that I could notice. If you are coming from an older NVME drive (gen3), you will notice a difference. That difference will be even more pronounced if you're coming from sata storage ... and even MORE if you're upgrading from a mechanical drive. Those differences will be immediately and profoundly felt if you fall into one of those latter categories.
BUT ... that's not to say I don't appreciate the speed. Once I had my OS installed I started reorganizing some files and I was easily able to maintain speeds over 6GB/sec between pcie gen4 drives. Keep in mind that your slowest storage will be the limiting factor here, so moving files to a gen3 drive in my system knocks that number down to about 2GB/sec. But it's great. I was able to migrate a roughly 1tb gaming library in just a couple of minutes. Crazy.
During both synthetic testing and large batch file transfers, speeds stayed around 43C during read/write. It stays comfortably cool even during prolonged use.
I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone looking to add or upgrade storage. It's fast, stays cool, and 2tb is nice. It's basically perfect.

Great 2TB Gen 4 budget drive

Great 2TB m.2 2280 Gen4 PCIe (standard length SSD size), but I probably would only get this to use as a storage drive and not primary operating drive if you want the absolutely fastest speed. That is how I am using this drive myself, as a secondary storage drive for games and media. However, most users probably would never notice a difference in speed from this drive and a more expensive one on a day to day basis.
Because this is supposed to be a more budget friendly drive, for somewhat more casual non-power users, it does not have any DRAM which usually means these drives will run a little slower. For purely storage purposes, like having media files, music, video, photos, and even loading installed video games in windows, this won’t really make a whole lot of difference in real world use, but if you move very large files around all the time if you edit video for example, you might want a different drive that has DRAM on board. The good thing about it not having DRAM on board is that it also means it typically should run cooler than faster drives that have DRAM, which is really good should you be using this SSD in a laptop with less airflow than a desktop computer. This drive is a PCIe 4.0 compliant drive and the standard 2280 SSD length and is backwards compatible. It has a 5 year warranty from Crucial.
This drive is rated as up to 7,100MB per second for reading, and 6,000MB per second for writing, and in my testing I got just a little bit slower than this for writing, but they were very large video files. I would say the write speeds for me were as advertised on my Gen4 motherboard. Read speed, which I think is where most people would notice more of a difference (for example loading installed games), was just about as advertised also on my motherboard.
Overall, I would easily recommend this drive to just about anyone as a secondary storage drive. If you are not a power user, don’t need the absolute fastest speeds in the world for writing, want to save some money, this drive would be fine for those users as well. This is a very solid drive overall that you can’t go wrong with unless you have a motherboard on your PC or a laptop with the older PCIe 3.0 drive slots, where it would work but you wouldn’t be able to get to the advertised speeds and could go with older and less expensive SSD options.
