We’re here in the thick of Prime Big Deals Day and there are some great opportunities to save on pretty much anything. Kitchen appliances, bedding, automotive tools, and, yes, even gaming hardware are on sale with huge discounts. Right now, Amazon has the Crucial P310 internal SSD discounted by up to 49%.

File sizes for AAA video games have been surpassing behemoth levels for some time now. Look at something like Red Dead Redemption 2. It requires a whopping 150GB of your storage to install. And that’s a game from 2018. I can’t even begin to imagine what absurd size requirement Rockstar’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI will have.
This PCIe Gen4 2230 NVMe M.2 SSD is smaller than your standard internal SSDs and that’s because it is designed with PC gaming handhelds in mind to help you bring your whole game library with you when you hit the road.
The Steam Deck has three models, each with a different internal capacity. The LCD version of the Steam Deck only comes with 256GB while with the OLED, you have a choice of 512GB or 1TB. The ROG Ally and all new ROG Xbox Ally each come with 512GB. If those numbers aren’t enough for the gaming you want to do on the go, then you can upgrade with the Crucial P310 SSD. Installation is easy and should only take you about five minutes of your time to get you started gaming with way more storage.
While the Crucial P310 SSD is made with the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally in mind, it is additionally compatible with certain laptops such as the Microsoft Surface or select Dell models.
Extreme Performance
The Crucial gaming SSD is capable of read and write speeds of up to 7,100 MB/s. You can expect fast load times. Power efficiency is always good to have with PC hardware both for environmental reasons and to keep the electric bill down. Here, though, there is an added benefit. Game longer. Better power efficiency means easier on the battery means you can play for longer before it dies.
For a limited time, you can expand the storage on your PC gaming handheld to a large capacity of either 1TB or 2TB with the Crucial P310 internal SSD. The 1TB is down 41% to $80 while the 2TB is down 49% to $122.
