I have installed many Team Group SSD's in one of my own and numerous friends' machines which have lasted for years beyond the warranty and are still working. This was the the third Vulcan Z I installed in other friends' machines, and to date, they have not disappointed.

Decent price Easy to install

Cheap but reliable

Excellent drive, with real world performance.

Being Gen 5 it makes a big differnece compared to Gen 3 and even Gen 4

- Working exceptionally better than expected - Amazing customer service - Relatively easy to set up - Worth the money


-Small -Light -Very fast transfer speeds

what I like the most the speed of the SSD

work well so far (1 month). I bought this to replace Samsung 990 pro w/heat sink. It disappear every couple days and need to restart. did all the fix but still not working.

Stays cool

Easy to install, although I did have to rig the screwing it in as there wasn't a screw hole in the laptop. Passive heat sink tape stuff was pre-applied

No problems

I was thinking to upgrade my Asus Vivobook again from the currently installed 256GB Gen3 NVME M.2 to this much larger, faster 2TB Crucial 2230 M.2, but thinking about tearing down the Vivobook again would be a lot of work for what would be a limited upgrade with the notebooks available native Gen3 read/write speeds. Besides I primarily use the Vivobook for work. No need to compromise the Crucial 310 2230s performance doing the upgrade. I dont own any other suitable portable devices to test the drive, so Ill use a PC for benchmark speed testing. I have many ways to clone this drive including my Orico M.2 Cloner/Duplicator (see image). I already have an easy to boot to second Crucial NVME 4 x 4 clone of my main drive installed in the machine. So I installed the Crucial P310 as a storage drive in my MSI Pro B770M board using the primary available PCIE 4 x 4 M.2 slot. I installed the free downloadable Crucial Storage Executive software tool. There is an interesting option available with the tool called Momentum Cache which when enabled can make the drives SSD operations up to 10 times faster (see image). I understand enabling this feature works best if the drive is installed as the primary boot drive. My drive is installed as a storage drive so I did not enable Momentum Cache. The software also verified my drive came with the latest firmware. I ran CrystalDiskMark 8.0.6 and found the speed of the drive to be incredibly fast as advertised. 7016/6259 Read/Write (see image) There really is no compromise for having the fastest drive available installed in whatever machine you are using. Crucial recommends this drive for gaming handheld consoles and laptops. Unfortunately I do not own any handheld consoles to test the drive. I will mention this drive is as fast as any 4 x 4 drive I currently own. If you are looking into a 2230 NVME M.2 this Crucial P310 is eye-popping fast. The best choice out there as far as performance offered in 2230 NVME M.2 SSD . Also has a three year warranty.

Was part of a bundle deal cant complain works good

Extremely fast boot times, good!

I really like how it gives you the ability to change the rgb and fan curves. It runs at a constant 46°C in my pc. I also like that you can upgrade the ssd in the heat sync if you want. I have been thinking about eventually upgrading from the 2tb to a 4tb and the heat sync can be easily swapped to the 4tb.

Motherboard and CPU arrived in good condition. Packaging was secure and delivery was fast. Products seem authentic and work properly.
