Our Experience

I spent hours comparing options before settling on the Crucial P310 SSD for my PS5. It offered great value at 1TB and PCIe Gen4 speeds up to 7100MB/s, promising swift game loading times. Upon arrival, I immediately appreciated its robust heatsink design, which should keep temperatures in check even during intense gaming sessions.

After installing the SSD and running CrystalDiskMark tests, I was impressed with the read/write speeds consistently hitting around 6500/6300MB/s, only slightly lower than advertised. In practical use, game loading times were dramatically reduced; 'The Last of Us Part II' loaded in less than half the time compared to my old SSD.

One minor critique is that the installation process on PS5 was a tad more complex than I expected due to Sony's specific formatting requirements. However, it wasn't insurmountable and once completed, the performance improvements were well worth the effort.

Overall, the Crucial P310 delivered exactly what I needed: significantly faster loading times at an affordable price point. If you're looking for a reliable, high-speed SSD for your PS5, this should be high on your list.
