Compact 1 TB NVMe 2230 SSD

The Crucial P310 is a 1 TB solid-state drive in the M.2 2230 form factor. It targets handheld gaming devices such as Steam Deck, ROG Ally and MSI Claw, plus compatible ultrabooks and mini PCs. The drive uses PCIe 4.0 NVMe signalling to deliver sequential reads up to 7,100 MB/s and writes up to 6,000 MB/s. Micron G8 NAND and thermal control aim to balance speed with battery life.

PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface limits

The drive requires an M.2 2230 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 NVMe. Devices limited to PCIe 3.0 will cap throughput below the rated 7,100 MB/s read and 6,000 MB/s write figures. The 2230 length excludes standard 2280 slots, so full-size laptop or desktop boards cannot accept it. Power draw is optimised for handhelds, but sustained heavy writes may trigger thermal throttling in fanless chassis.

Straightforward drop-in upgrade

Installation consists of opening the device, inserting the drive into the keyed M.2 2230 socket and securing it with the existing screw. No cables or brackets are needed. The most common issue is attempting to fit the 2230 module into a 2280-only slot, which is physically impossible. Some ultrabooks whitelist specific SSDs, so the drive may not be recognised on locked-down models. Firmware updates from the device maker can resolve detection problems.
