CRUCIAL P310 1TB M.2 NVME Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD ) ( With Heatsink )

The Crucial P310 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD with integrated heatsink (model CT1000P310SSD5) is a high-performance internal solid state drive built for demanding PC workloads and PlayStation 5 storage expansion. Operating on the PCIe Gen4 interface over an M.2 2280 form factor, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s — making large file transfers, game level loads, and system boot times noticeably faster compared to PCIe Gen3 drives. The bundled heatsink is engineered to keep the drive's controller and flash within safe thermal limits under sustained workloads, helping maintain consistent throughput during long gaming or rendering sessions. The heatsink profile is designed to fit within the PS5 and PS5 Pro M.2 expansion bay without requiring a separate third-party cooler, and the drive is automatically detected by the console once installed. With 220 TBW (terabytes written) endurance at the 1TB capacity, the P310 is suited for everyday desktop use, content creation, and gaming alike. Crucial backs the drive with a 5-year limited warranty, providing meaningful coverage for a storage component that handles critical data. For PC builders, the M.2 2280 form factor is the most widely supported NVMe slot size across modern motherboards, and PCIe Gen4 compatibility also allows backward installation in Gen3 slots at reduced speeds. The drive is NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) protocol-based, ensuring lower latency than SATA alternatives.
