Crucial P310 1TB NVMe Drive

The Crucial P310 is a 1TB internal solid state drive built for consumer PCs and laptops that accept an M.2 2280 module. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 protocol and 3D NAND flash. The drive operates without a heatsink and relies on host memory buffer technology instead of a dedicated DRAM cache.

1TB Capacity and Gen4 Speed Headroom

Sequential reads reach up to 7100 MBps and writes up to 6000 MBps, giving ample headroom for operating system boots, large file transfers and game level loading. The 1TB capacity holds a modern game library and creative project files, while the Gen4 interface saturates typical mainstream workloads before the drive becomes a bottleneck.

Upgrade from Older NVMe Drives

Replacing a PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD yields nearly 20 percent faster bootups, gameplay starts and application launches such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The jump is worth it when your current drive limits throughput on a Gen4-capable platform and you want higher sustained speeds without adding a heatsink.

Questions about this item

Will the Crucial P310 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drive work in a laptop that only has a PCIe 3.0 slot?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots and will operate at Gen 3 speeds. The NVMe 2.0 protocol and HMB cache function normally on older platforms.

How can I verify the Crucial CT1000P310SSD8 is delivering its rated 7100 MBps read and 6000 MBps write speeds after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark using the NVMe 1.0 test profile on an empty drive. Sequential results should approach 7100 MBps read and 6000 MBps write when the M.2 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x4.

Does the Crucial P310 1TB CT1000P310SSD8 ship with a heatsink or mounting screw, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is sold without a heatsink. A mounting screw is typically supplied by the motherboard or laptop manufacturer, not included in the SSD package.
