Crucial P310 SSD 1TB M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe Gen4, Up to 7,100 MB/s, Compatible with Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, MSI Claw & Microsoft Surface, Solid State Drive - CT1000P310SSD2

I recently upgraded my Steam Deck with this 1TB SSD, and I am seriously impressed by its performance. Right out of the box, it was easy to install, and the speed is absolutely incredible. The read speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s make loading games and transferring files a breeze. Everything feels snappy, and I can now install even more games without worrying about space – a huge win for a gaming handheld like the Steam Deck. The size of the SSD (M.2 2230) fits perfectly into devices like the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and even my MSI Claw. Despite its compact form factor, the performance is comparable to much larger SSDs, which is ideal for my needs. I haven’t experienced any slowdowns or issues with stability during intense gaming sessions. I also appreciate the fact that it is PCIe Gen4, offering superior data transfer speeds compared to older Gen3 models. It's definitely an upgrade for anyone using devices that support it. Additionally, the drive runs cool, which is crucial for devices like the Steam Deck that tend to heat up during long gaming sessions. Overall, this SSD has dramatically improved my gaming experience. The performance is outstanding, and the installation is straightforward. If you’re looking to boost storage and speed for your gaming device, I highly recommend this SSD.

One of the quickest m.2 drives on Amazon and all by a trusted well known UK company. Installed this in a Surface 7 Laptop to replace the 256gb one and it's been flawless since. Fast read and write speeds and works with EFI perfectly.

Used this to upgrade my Asus ROG Ally - worked great, and it just took a few minutes to install. Much more space for games now :-)

Using in steam deck no issues

Good value SSD small size useful for certain devices but also used in phone otg expansion

Very good brand I installed this into my MSI clam 8 ai+ upgrading from a 1TB to a 2TB, 2TB is the sweet spot for storage and that’s why I upgraded it, some people have complained that it runs very hot, which is not the case I think it will be due to the fact that they are not using a thermal pad with the drive. Overall very very good and very fast.

I bought this to upgrade my new surface pro elite from 256Gb to 1Tb. I was a bit apprehensive as comments on some video's said some ssd's did not perform well so I decided to go for a Crucial drive having always had good results in the past. I put the ssd in a Ugreen caddy and connected to the surface usb c to c. I then discovered I could not use Acronis clone disc as it does not support ARM chips. I however downloaded a free trial version of macrium reflect for ARM 64 bit. So easy to then clone the drive and extend the partitions (videos online show you how). I then took the drive out of the caddy, installed a copper heat sink (kits on amazon) on the drive. After fully shutting down the surface i popped off the drive cover (magnetic - push on the dimple). Using a torx T3 the drive screw can be removed and old ssd wiggled out. New one is just gently pushed in and cover plate snaps back ontop. Having attached the power supply the surface just booted as normal when the switched on as if nothing had happened. Only difference is now 1Tb and faster read/write speeds - see photo.

Very happy with this SSD. Good compromise between size, performance and price.
