The SSD pricing situation has gotten a whole lot worse ever since the DRAM shortage kicked in, and when you see high-performance consumer solid-state drives in the 2TB capacity available for upwards of $300 and sometimes even reaching $400, that’s when you know that things are spiraling out of control.
Fortunately, there are some hidden gems listed on places like Amazon, such as the Crucial P310, with the 2TB capacity and heatsink version going for $213.99. Comparing the price to others, this is probably the most affordable SSD in the aforementioned capacity.
Faster speeds mean that the Crucial P310 can be slotted into a PS5 to deliver a speed and storage upgrade
With read and write speeds going up to 7,100MB/s and 6,000MB/s, respectively, the Crucial P310 is one of the fastest PCIe NVMe Gen 4 drives available on Amazon. Best of all, it comes with a heatsink pre-attached, giving you the option to slot it in your PS5 or remove it to accommodate the drive in thinner form factors such as gaming laptops.
Whatever your decision will be, you’ll be happy that you made the correct one because $213.99 is actually a steal considering what the prices are on Amazon. The Crucial P310 also supports the standard 2280 form factor, meaning that it will give you next to no trouble in getting it outfitted in the majority of M.2 slots.
One precaution that we will remind system builders and console owners intending on getting the Crucial P310 is to keep it adequately cooled. For those who don’t know, PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSDs tend to get extremely hot, which is why the heatsink has been provided in the first place. We also won’t ask buyers to brainstorm on their purchasing decision, because it could be a while before you witness another deal like this.
