Crucial P310 500GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
The Crucial P310 is a 500GB internal solid state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface with 3D NAND memory for consumer workloads. Sequential reads reach up to 6600 MBps and writes up to 3500 MBps. The drive ships without a heatsink.
Suits PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots needing 500GB capacity
This drive suits laptops and desktops with an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe. It delivers faster bootups, file transfers and game loads for everyday users. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will still work but cannot reach the rated speeds. Buyers needing a heatsink or higher endurance should consider other models.
PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface on an M.2 2280 connector. Your motherboard or laptop must expose that exact interface to use the drive at its rated 6600 MBps read and 3500 MBps write performance. Without a compatible M.2 slot the drive will not function.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Crucial P310 500GB is running at its rated PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe speed after installation?
Check the drive's reported link width and generation in your motherboard BIOS or a tool like CrystalDiskInfo; it should show PCIe 4.0 x4, and a sequential read benchmark should approach 6600 MBps.
What is included with the CT500P310SSD8-T and what must I supply myself?
The box contains only the M.2 2280 SSD itself; you must provide a compatible M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe support and, if your board lacks one, a motherboard standoff screw.
Which capacity of the P310 series should I choose for a primary Windows drive with room for several large games?
The 500GB model offers up to 6600 MBps read and 3500 MBps write, giving enough space for the OS, key applications and a handful of modern titles while keeping cost low.
