- Is the Crucial P310 good for a PS5?
- Yes. The 4TB model with heatsink meets Sony's size and speed requirements, and the factory heatsink saves you fitting your own. Install it in the expansion slot and format it in the console.
- Does the P310 have DRAM?
- No. It is a DRAM-less drive that uses host memory buffer and QLC NAND. That keeps it efficient for games and everyday use but limits sustained write speed.
- How fast does it slow down on big writes?
- Sequential reads reach about 7,100 MB/s, but once the SLC cache fills, writes fall to a few hundred MB/s. Copying hundreds of gigabytes in one go will take noticeably longer than on a TLC drive.
- Will the heatsink fit my laptop?
- Often not. The heatsink adds height, so check clearance before buying. For thin laptops, the version without a heatsink is the safer choice.
- What is the endurance rating?
- Crucial rates the 4TB P310 at roughly 880 TBW, lower than many TLC drives of the same capacity. That is still ample for gaming and general use but worth noting for constant large writes.
- What comes in the box?
- The drive with its pre-fitted heatsink and mounting screw. Cloning software is available from Crucial's support site rather than in the box.
