Today, Micron Technology announced the availability of the Crucial P310, which offers 40% faster performance than Crucial’s P3 Plus, giving gamers, students, and creatives a boost in speed when they boot and use data-intensive applications. With capacities of up to 2 TB and read and write speeds of 7,100 and 6,000 MB/s respectively, the Crucial P310 2280 SSD enables more customers than ever to gain access to gaming performance without paying gaming prices. This launch expands Micron’s P310 portfolio to address PCs, laptops and PlayStation 5, closely following the July launch of its award-winning Crucial P310 2230 SSD, targeted at users of handheld gaming consoles and mini PCs.
Key Features
Sequential read speeds of 7,100 MB/s and write speeds of 6,000 MB/s.
Capacity options from 500GB to 1TB or 2TB, allowing users to store more content without worrying about size or capacity.
20% faster performance in real-world tasks than other Gen4 SSDs booting Windows, starting applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and loading seamless gameplay on PCs.
Random reads up to 1 million input/output operations per second (IOPS) and random writes up to 1.2 million IOPS.
Up to 40% better performance-to-power ratio, allowing users to get more done on a single charge.

The Crucial P310 SSD is available in a standard M.2 2280 form factor that offers an easy-to-install solution that customers can use to upgrade their existing laptops and extend device lifecycles rather than buying new ones.
