Crucial P310 1TB M.2 2230 NVMe SSD
1TBPCIe Gen4 NVMeUp to 7100MB/sCompact M.2 2230
The Crucial P310 1TB, part number CT1000P310SSD2, is a compact M.2 2230 PCIe Gen4 NVMe solid state drive with reads up to 7,100MB/s, designed for the small 30mm slot used in handheld gaming PCs, ultrabooks and mini PCs. From Crucial (the consumer brand of Micron), it pairs Micron 232-layer QLC NAND with Host Memory Buffer in a single-sided design that fits where full-length drives cannot.
With sequential reads up to 7,100MB/s and writes up to 6,000MB/s, the P310 brings flagship-class Gen4 speed to the tiny 2230 form factor, ideal for upgrading a Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go. Carrying EAN 0649528942272 and MPN CT1000P310SSD2, it is rated for 220 TBW and a 5-year limited warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility note
This is the compact M.2 2230 version (22mm wide x 30mm long), made for the short slot in handhelds and some ultrabooks — it is not the common 2280 length used in most desktops. The Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Legion Go use 2230 directly. It requires a PCIe NVMe slot (backward compatible with Gen3 at reduced speed) and will not work in SATA-only M.2 slots. Confirm your device takes a 2230 module before buying. A separate 2280 version of the P310 (CT1000P310SSD8) exists for desktops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Crucial P310 2230 fit my device?
It fits devices with a short M.2 2230 NVMe slot, such as the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go and some ultrabooks and mini PCs. It is not the common 2280 length used in most desktops. Confirm your device specifically takes a 2230 module before buying.
Can I use the P310 2230 in a Steam Deck or ROG Ally?
Yes — the 2230 form factor matches these handhelds directly, and its up-to-7,100MB/s speed and 1TB capacity make it an excellent upgrade for faster loading and a bigger game library. Always check your specific model’s slot length.
Why choose a 2230 drive over a 2280?
You choose 2230 only when your device physically requires the shorter length, as handhelds and some ultrabooks do. Most desktops take the longer 2280 size; for those, the 2280 version of the P310 (CT1000P310SSD8) is the right choice.
What do I need to know before buying the P310 2230 1TB?
Confirm your device has a 2230 M.2 NVMe slot and a way to clone or reinstall your operating system. It is a DRAM-less, single-sided QLC drive rated for 220 TBW with a 5-year warranty; it does not include hardware encryption.
Singular Expert Insight
The Crucial P310 2230 is one of the standout handheld upgrades: it delivers near-flagship 7,100MB/s speeds in the tiny 2230 size that the Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Legion Go require, backed by first-party Micron NAND and a 5-year warranty. For gaming handhelds and compact laptops that need 2230 it is an easy recommendation.

Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
Your handheld (Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go) or ultrabook needs a compact 2230 NVMe drive, and you want flagship-class 7,100MB/s speed, 1TB and a 5-year warranty.
Skip it if
Your device uses the standard 2280 slot (choose the 2280 P310), needs the highest TLC endurance, or is a SATA-only M.2 slot.
Also consider
Crucial P310 2280 (CT1000P310SSD8) for desktops, the Transcend MTE410S as a 2242 alternative, or a 2280 drive like the WD_BLACK SN7100 for full-size systems.
