The storage shortage could worsen in the coming months, as NVIDIA’s next-generation AI systems could utilize terabytes of NAND SSDs. We continue to reiterate to readers that while it is an unpleasant time to make solid-state drive and RAM upgrades, it is likely the best opportunity you’ll ever get because the situation can become deleterious to your budget in the coming months. With that being said, the Crucial P310 is an exceptional performer for PCs, laptops, and consoles, and thanks to supporting the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard, this 4TB SSD can reach speeds of up to 7,100MB/s. With this combination, it is now Amazon’s best-seller in internal solid-state drives, with its $344.99 price tag an attractive element.
The Crucial P310 can also reach 6,000MB/s write speeds, allowing you to transfer heaps of data from one machine to another within seconds
With its 2280 form factor, Crucial’s 4TB SSD can be accommodated in the majority of form factors, including laptops. However, you’ll need to double-check and confirm whether your current machine supports the newer PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard or the older Gen 3, as using the latter will result in lost bandwidth, which is essential for a speedier system. Speaking of speeds, the P310 can reach sequential read and write speeds of 7,100MB/s and 6,000MB/s, meaning that the drive can be effortlessly outfitted in the PS5 without displaying any problems.
As for the random read and write performance, the company states that its 4TB SSD can reach 1,000K and 1,000K, respectively, with TBW endurance of 800TB. In short, the Crucial P310 will last you for years, but if you want additional peace of mind, the company also offers a 5-year limited warranty. However, we still recommend readers to back up their storage because trouble can conjure out of thin air. When discussing the price, we understand that $344.99 is a bit on the high end for the majority of buyers, but the ongoing DRAM shortage means that you’re going to have to grow accustomed to these figures for a while.
If anything, the prices could increase in the coming months, putting a bigger hole in your wallet than what you previously anticipated spending on these parts. Also, with Micron existing consumer SSD and RAM market, we doubt that you’ll be seeing products like the Crucial P310 on Amazon’s listings in the future, so why not take advantage of the offer you have in front of you?
