Crucial is back with a new high-speed Gen 4 M.2 SSD. This time around, we have the new P310 2280, featuring 3D NAND from Micron, and speeds that make this an ideal drive for current-gen gaming, whether you are on PC, or a console like the PS5.
These new SSDs offer more than double the performance of an older PCIe Gen 3 SSD, so you'll see big gains in loading times for games, as well as every day tasks, like booting into Windows, launching programs, saving projects etc.
In the table below you can see the specs for each SSD at 500GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities:
| Capacity | Sequential Read | Sequential Write | Random Read | Random Write | Heatsink |
| 500GB | 6,600MB/s | 3,500MB/s | 520K IOPS | 890K IOPS | Yes |
| 1TB | 7,100MB/s | 6,000MB/s | 1M IOPS | 1.2M IOPS | Yes |
| 2TB | 7,100MB/s | 6,000MB/s | 1M IOPS | 1.2M IOPS | Yes |
The big upgrade with this new SSD over Crucial's previous model is in efficiency. These new SSDs offer up to 40% better performance to power ratio compared to the previous generation from Crucial.
