Capacity and interface

The Crucial P310 CT1000P310SSD801 is a 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe internal SSD built for consumer PCs and laptops. It connects through a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 slot and uses 3D NAND flash with no DRAM cache, relying on host memory buffer instead.

Build integration

The drive fits any motherboard or laptop with an M.2 2280 key‑M slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4. Because it carries no heatsink, it leaves extra vertical clearance for tight chassis and frees the builder from sourcing a separate thermal pad or screw.

Sustained behaviour

Sequential reads reach up to 7100 MBps and writes up to 6000 MBps under the NVMe 2.0 protocol. Without a DRAM buffer the controller leans on HMB during long transfers, so performance settles to the NAND’s native throughput once the SLC cache fills.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive fit my laptop that only has a PCIe 3.0 slot?

Yes, the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, though speeds will be limited to the slot's maximum capability.

Does the lack of a DRAM cache affect everyday performance for gaming and booting?

The drive uses Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology to borrow a small amount of system RAM, delivering up to 7100 MB/s reads and 6000 MB/s writes for fast game loads and bootups.

Is a heatsink required for this drive in a compact ultrabook?

The drive ships without a heatsink and relies on the motherboard's thermal pad or airflow; most ultrabooks have a built-in thermal solution for M.2 2280 drives.
