NVMe SSD Hot Deal: The Crucial P310 1TB Drops Below €70

While the SSD market continues to climb in 2026, Amazon France is holding a flash sale on the Crucial P310 1TB NVMe Gen4, one of the most versatile M.2 SSDs of the year. The item is offered at approximately 20% off its usual retail price, bringing it down to around €69. For a Crucial (Micron group) SSD, this is one of the best performance/price ratios currently available, especially during this period of NAND module tension.

Why the Crucial P310 Remains a Solid Choice

The Crucial P310 targets modern gaming and office configurations that seek a reliable Gen4 without paying the price of a high-end SSD. It comes in the M.2 2280 format, compatible with almost all motherboards since 2020. Its advertised speeds are around 7,100 MB/s sequential read and 6,000 MB/s write, which is more than enough to saturate a PCIe 4.0 interface in most daily uses.

In gaming use, this speed is mainly felt in loading times, the installation of recent games that frequently exceed 100 GB, and transfers between folders. For those playing Microsoft DirectStorage compatible titles, a Gen4 NVMe SSD remains the recommended entry to fully enjoy the technology.

Key Features

• Capacity: 1 TB, with dynamic HMB cache on the Windows side
• Format: M.2 2280 single-sided, ideal for compact cases and compatible laptops
• Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
• Sequential Read: up to 7,100 MB/s
• Sequential Write: up to 6,000 MB/s
• Endurance: 220 TBW (Terabytes Written)
• Warranty: 5-year Crucial manufacturer warranty

Who is this promo for?

This offer targets several profiles. First, gamers who have a recent AM4 or AM5 motherboard (B550, X570, B650, X670) or an Intel B760 / Z790 chipset and want a second SSD dedicated to recent games. Then, users who want to replace an old SATA or an aging Gen3 NVMe. Finally, DIY enthusiasts who are upgrading a PS5 with an expansion slot: the P310 meets Sony's official requirements and its single-sided format fits well under the console's heatsink cover.

How to check the promo before buying

Amazon flash sales have a limited duration and variable stock. Before confirming your purchase, take two minutes to compare the price with historical competitors in France such as LDLC, Materiel.net, or Top Achat. A tool like Keepa or Dealabs' historical tracking helps verify that the advertised promo genuinely reflects a low price and not an inflated then discounted price.

Regarding delivery, Amazon Prime ships within 24 hours, but specialized retailers have the advantage of more precise customer service if a return is necessary. The 5-year Crucial warranty remains valid regardless of the purchase store, provided you keep the invoice.

Installation Tips

Installing an NVMe M.2 remains one of the simplest operations on a modern PC. Turn off the power, unplug the mains, open the side panel, locate the M.2 slot on your motherboard (consult the manual: some slots share PCIe lanes with other components). Remove the retaining screw, insert the SSD at a 30-degree angle, lower it, and re-screw. If your motherboard includes an M.2 heatsink, remember to remove the plastic film from the thermal pad before replacing it.

Once in Windows, open Disk Management to initialize the SSD in GPT and then format it in NTFS. For gamers who want to migrate Steam or Epic games, both launchers offer integrated library migration, without a complete reinstallation.

Our Verdict

At this price, the Crucial P310 1TB is one of the most relevant Gen4 NVMe SSDs for 2026. It doesn't compete with ultra high-end PCIe 5.0 references, but it offers an excellent balance between performance, reliability, and price, all with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. If you're looking to increase the fast storage of your gaming PC or PS5, this is an excellent opportunity while the promotion is active.
