It has been a tough few months for consumers who were looking to bump up their storage or RAM because the ongoing crisis has forced both of these components to become ludicrously expensive. Thankfully, there are moments where your prayers of stumbling upon an absolute banger of a deal are heard, and that day is today.
The Crucial P310, which is a solid PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD, has seen its 2TB version drop to $214.99 on Amazon, making it the first time in a long time that the price has crept closer to the $200 mark. Now, if the same offers can be applied to the 4TB drives, that’ll be a momentous day.
With speeds of up to 7,100MB/s, the 2TB Crucial P310 delivers solid value, especially during the extreme shortage
Even though PCIe NVMe Gen 4 solid-state drives are readily available and are lightning fast, they can run pretty hot if you don’t have sufficient cooling, not to mention being downright expensive. The P310 supports the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol, offering the sweet spot of IOPS and data transfer speeds to present one of the best storage upgrades you can get right now.
Crucial’s current ‘price to performance’ champion features the 2280 form factor, meaning that, in addition to being effortlessly slotted into a PS5 and PS5 Pro, these drives can easily be accommodated in your laptop or desktop computer, with just a single screw completing the upgrade. We highly recommend installing the operating system on the Crucial P310 as it will make your entire system significantly snappier.
The speed upgrade will also extend to your games, as they will open faster, with programs also becoming much more fluid in daily use. If there’s one recommendation we could offer to readers, it’s not to ponder too much about the purchase, because we have to remind you that the DRAM shortage isn’t over, so make the most of these deals, and we’ll update you when the next one arrives.
