While PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs are setting new storage performance benchmarks, the real-life and application benefits of getting those drives are still not worth the price you are paying for them. It's still very much an early adopter product for now and while we appreciate the speed-up, we would love to see the performance transition from synthetic benchmarks to actual use cases.
And you know what's still considered to be quite fast without breaking your wallet? The current-gen PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs. Gen 4 SSDs are now available at very affordable price rates and offer great performance. We recently tested the Crucial P310 SSD which comes in a 2230 form factor, offering great performance for gaming handhelds and the full 2280 variant without heatsink. Now, we are looking at the heatsink variant of the 2280 drive.
Today, I will be testing the Crucial P310 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD. This is a high-end Gen 4.0 SSD that targets the handheld market and we have the 2 TB variant in our hands which retails for $137.99 US right now.

The Crucial P310 is the latest addition to the Crucial SSD portfolio powered by Micron. We have tested loads of Crucial SSDs including their high-end Gen5 and Gen4 products. For the P310, the company offers a high-end storage solution based on Gen4 architecture. The Crucial P310 SSDs are based on the NVMe SSD form factor and feature QLC-based 3D NAND flash, offering up to 2 TB of capacity, better performance, and slightly lower power input.
