Great SSD deal: Crucial P310 2TB drops back below €250

The storage market is going through a tough period in 2026. With high demand from data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence, NAND memory prices have soared, leading to a marked increase in SSD prices across the board. In this context, seeing a 2TB NVMe SSD drop back below the €250 mark becomes a real opportunity not to be missed.

During the June promotions, the Crucial P310 2TB is available for around €249.99 on Amazon France, compared to its usual price of €349.99. A €100 drop that, in the midst of component inflation, is worth looking into.

Why are SSD prices rising in 2026?

The main cause is the shortage of NAND flash memory. Manufacturers are reorienting some of their production towards servers and AI, where profit margins are higher. The result: less volume available for the general public and rising prices.

Specifically, recent models show 1TB Gen5 SSDs priced between €200 and €270, and 2TB versions between €350 and €450. In this landscape, a high-performance 2TB SSD for €250 is very well positioned.

What is the Crucial P310 2TB?

The P310 is an M.2 SSD designed for consumer and gaming configurations. It offers a good compromise between performance and price, without aiming for the extreme speeds of high-end Gen5 models reserved for professional use.

• Capacity: 2TB, which is plenty for installing Windows, several large games, and your software.
• Form Factor: M.2, compatible with the vast majority of recent motherboards.
• Usage: Ideal as a primary drive for a responsive gaming or office PC.

For most gamers, the real difference between a Gen4 and a Gen5 SSD remains barely noticeable in everyday use. Game loading times primarily depend on switching from a hard drive or SATA SSD to an NVMe SSD, much more so than the Gen4 vs Gen5 tier.

Is it really a good deal?

Given the context of generalized price increases, yes. For gaming or versatile use, a 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD at €250 represents excellent value for money. If you are building or upgrading a system this summer, this is the type of purchase to anticipate rather than postpone: there is no indication that prices will drop quickly.

A tip: keep an eye out for flash sales on Amazon, but also at French retailers like LDLC, Materiel.net, or TopAchat, often appreciated for their warranty and customer service.
