SSD Crucial 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe P310

The Crucial P310 1 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD delivers significantly faster system responsiveness and reduced load times for PCs and laptops. With sequential read speeds up to 7100 MB/s and write speeds up to 6000 MB/s in a compact M.2 form factor, this 1 TB drive is suitable for gaming, content creation and general performance upgrades.

Advantages

Compared with previous-generation drives, the P310 offers nearly 20% faster overall performance and up to 2x the speed versus the prior generation. It reaches Gen4 performance with sequential reads up to 7100 MB/s, provides up to 2x faster performance than older models and up to 20x faster than SATA SSDs, and is available in a heatsink version for improved thermal management. The drive is compatible with both Gen3 and Gen4 systems and is easy to install, helping extend laptop lifecycle.

Suitable for

• Gaming — faster game load times and reduced stuttering
• Content creation — editing in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
