Capacity and interface

The Crucial P310 CT2000P310SSD8 is a 2TB internal solid state drive built on the M.2 2280 form factor with a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 interface. It targets consumers who want faster boot times, quicker file transfers and shorter game load screens without moving to a DRAM-equipped drive.

Build and daily use

The drive uses 3D NAND and relies on host memory buffer technology instead of an onboard DRAM cache. Its single-sided M.2 2280 layout fits standard laptop and desktop slots and ships without a heatsink, so thermal performance will depend on the motherboard or laptop cooling solution.

Upgrade perspective

Moving from a PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive roughly doubles the peak sequential throughput to 7100 MBps read and 6000 MBps write. The jump is most noticeable when loading large game assets or moving multi-gigabyte media files on a platform that supports PCIe 4.0.

Highlights

  • Boots and loads games faster with sequential reads up to 7100 MBps
  • Transfers large files quickly thanks to sequential writes up to 6000 MBps
  • Fits standard laptop and desktop slots using the M.2 2280 form factor
  • Stores a large library of games and media on 2000 GB capacity
  • Operates without a DRAM cache by using host memory buffer technology

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 drive fit in my laptop's single PCIe 4.0 slot without a heatsink clearance issue?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and ships without a heatsink, so it fits most laptops and desktops with a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot; verify your device's M.2 keying and maximum module height before installing.

Does the lack of a DRAM cache mean noticeably slower everyday performance?

This model uses Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology instead of onboard DRAM, delivering up to 7100 MBps sequential read and 6000 MBps sequential write for fast bootups, file transfers and game loads in typical consumer workloads.

What do I need to enable the advertised PCIe 4.0 speeds on my motherboard?

Your motherboard must provide an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 and run a BIOS that supports NVMe 2.0; with those in place the drive will operate at its rated 7100 MBps read and 6000 MBps write.
