Crucial P310 1 TB, Gen 4 with an Acronis offer review
A Gen 4 drive built for laptops and handheld consoles, with both sequential figures, Micron G8 NAND and an Acronis cloning offer on its Amazon.com page — and no endurance or warranty term.

The bullets: 7,100 MB/s read and 6,000 MB/s write; 1 TB for games and media; compatibility with the ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion Go and AYANEO Kun and backward compatibility with Gen 3; up to twice as fast as Gen 3; and G8 NAND with thermal control.

The questions that come up before an order
Does it fit a handheld console?
The listing names the ROG Ally X, the Lenovo Legion Go and the AYANEO Kun. Check the console's slot length: the P310 is sold here in the 2280 length, and some handhelds take the shorter 2230.
What is the Acronis offer for?
Cloning: the description says it helps to clone, back up or transfer data, so the old drive can be copied onto this one without reinstalling.
Our score
7.6/ 10
A sensible Gen 4 drive for a laptop or handheld, with its speeds, compatible devices and cloning software stated. The warranty and endurance figures are not on the page.

A Gen 4 ×4, NVMe 2.0 drive with 7,400 MB/s read and 6,500 MB/s write, HMB and an SLC cache, and thermal management named — and no endurance or warranty term on its Amazon.com page.

Best for: A desktop or laptop Gen 4 slot where the highest read figure on this shelf is wanted and a written warranty is not essential.

Best for: A machine with a Gen 3 M.2 slot, where a Gen 4 drive would run at Gen 3 speed anyway.
