Crucial P310 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Crucial P310 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface using the NVMe protocol. 3D NAND flash memory provides the storage medium for this drive. Sequential reads reach up to 7100 MBps and writes up to 6000 MBps.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits PC builders upgrading a laptop or desktop with an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 who want 2TB capacity and 440TB endurance. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will not reach the stated 7100 MBps read ceiling. Builds requiring a pre-fitted heatsink should consider other models.

The spec that decides fit

The PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface is the single specification that decides compatibility. Your motherboard or laptop must expose an M.2 2280 keyed for NVMe with four lanes of Gen 4 bandwidth to deliver the rated 7100 MBps read and 6000 MBps write performance.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 form factor fit my laptop's slot?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 size measuring 3.15 inches long and 0.86 inches wide, matching most modern laptop and desktop slots.

How do I install the CT2000P310SSD801 and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, press down, and secure it with the motherboard screw; many forget to enable NVMe in the BIOS after physical installation.

When will the 2TB 3D NAND drive need replacement based on endurance?

The drive is rated for 440TB written; typical consumer workloads write far less per year, so the SSD should last many years before reaching that limit.
