Crucial P310 500GB 2280 PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD – Up to 6,600MB/s – Shift up to Gen4, with Acronis Offer, Internal Solid State Drive (PC) – CT500P310SSD801

My Alienware x15 laptop had a 512GB internal drive, ordered to keep the costs down. Unfortunately, with 4-5 good games installed, it is maxed out. Realizing it had a second SSD slot, I decided to add a second drive. Shopping around, I decided on the Crucial P310 2TB 2280 PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD. Crucial has been around a long time, they have a good reputation, and the $140 price tag was great for 2TB.But the joke was on me. Dell got cheap when they built my laptop, and installed two 256GB SSD's instead of a single 512GB. While technically I got what I paid for (512GB), they used up both drive slots, leaving no room for expansion. The dirty buggers. So after cursing Michael Dell and his perfect hairline, I said the heck with it, and decided to replace the small factory drives with the Crucial. But I didn't want to have to download a Windows boot disk and reinstall everything from the ground up. Luckily, EaseUS Disk Copy Pro software has been around for decades.First I had to connect the new drive. So I bought a Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure and installed the Cruicial drive in it. Then I installed EaseUS Disk Copy and followed the simple wizard to do a sector-by-sector copy on the laptop's drive to the USB external drive. It is so easy you almost feel guilty about it. In less than 30 minutes, I had the new Crucial drive installed in the enclosure, formatted, and had copied everything to it. I turned everything off, moved the Crucial to one of the available slots on the laptop, and it booted perfectly the first time. Like nothing had happened, except that I quadrupled my storage space.The new Crucial drive is responsive, and has lightning-fast transfer speeds. It was easy to install, so much that I regret not doing this a lot sooner. I have faith in the Crucial brand, as I think they have proven themselves over many years to have high quality products. I would definitely buy this again (and am already considering getting a second one for that other drive slot).

Absolutely satisfied! 1TB NVme SSD replacement for my Lenovo Ideapad S340. I consulted Lenovo replacement parts but I was unable to locate their recommended drive. After some research, I landed on this drive. It seems be as fast as the OEM drive. I initially downloaded and tried Acronis True Image. It stated that it was free for 30 days, but the "free to use" did not include the imaging functionality! So I used Clonezilla software to image the Win 11 Home OS to the new 1TB drive. It worked great! Clonezilla is absolutely FREE and after watching a YouTube video, it was easy to step through. I purchased a UGREEN SSD Enclosure, Tool-Free USB C External, 10Gbps M.2 NVMe to USB Adapter in order to clone my Win 11 OS to the new drive. I recommend this tool. Once again, I sought out a YouTube video to familiarized me with the device's use. Simple! I bough the 1 TB drive to replace the original 512GB one because I loaded Linux Mint alongside Win 11. I prefer Linux to Windows bloatware and its seemingly untimely updates and subsequent reboots. I can use Linux apps for almost everything I do. Only on a rare occasion do I require Windows and that's the reason I keep it around.

I recently bought the Crucial P310 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD for my Dell Inspiron, which had been running painfully slow. Installing this SSD was surprisingly easy – just a quick swap and a clean install, and I was ready to go. It came with an Acronis cloning offer, but I opted for a fresh start.Right after installation, the difference was like night and day. Boot-up time is now just a few seconds, apps open instantly, and overall performance is smooth and responsive. The advertised speed of up to 7,100 MB/s is no joke – this drive delivers.If your laptop supports Gen4 NVMe and you're looking for a simple way to breathe new life into it, I highly recommend this drive. Great value, top performance, and easy setup!

I installed this Crucial P310 2TB SSD on my Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 (RTX 4060), and it worked flawlessly. I'm a data science student and use my PC for databases, Power BI, Python, and virtual machines—and this SSD handles everything smoothly. Windows recognized it instantly, and speeds reached over 7000 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. I also game in my free time, and load times are lightning-fast. Great value, highly recommended.Instalé este Crucial P310 de 2TB en mi Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 (RTX 4060) y funcionó sin problemas. Soy estudiante de Ciencia de Datos y uso mi PC para bases de datos, Power BI, Python y máquinas virtuales, además de jugar en mi tiempo libre. Windows lo reconoció de inmediato y las velocidades superaron los 7000 MB/s en CrystalDiskMark. Gran rendimiento y totalmente recomendado.

Great product, easy to install and working perfectly. I had a bit of an issue because my PC recognized it in the bios but it didn't appear available. I don't think this was because of the product but I'm commenting just in case it worries someone else. Watching a few youtube videos helped me fix the issue tho, so it wasn't a big deal. Also, I acknowledge that this space isn't about the delivery but the product itself .But I'm still really happy that Amazon could deliver it so fast. I'm a happy client, and it'd recommend this product any day

I use it to so I can run Linux to test stuff with out having to open up my laptop or deal with partitioning the drive and having a dual boot os and yeah I know I can use ventoy With persistence if I want to be able to save anything I've done while using but I just prefer to have a completely separate dedicated drive and this one work Great ,the difference between using this drive in a USBc adapter case isn't that much slower for basic usage most people will nvr notice it ,ive ran Ubuntu 22 with my a VPN and playing movies on Kodi while backing itself up to a server all at the same time I'm not a big gamer but I was given a old USB PC joystick and played (attempted to play ) some war game that had a flight simulator..game played fine I was just really bad at it ,.....for the I'm pretty happy with it
