I'm in a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice. I'm trying to decide between the Crucial P310 and the TEAMGROUP MP44L for my PS5. Which SSD offers the better performance and value?

Be aware that the P310 uses QLC flash. It has slower write rates, especially for large downloads, and might slow down over time. I'd recommend the MP44L instead.
I've seen a few listings on an Aussie site. Why go for the MP44L? It looks slower on paper.
The MP44L has a heatsink which is a big plus since the P310 doesn't. They’re priced similarly on Amazon, so that might sway your decision.
I'd go with the cheaper option if you're on a budget. Sometimes they perform pretty similarly, anyway.
Where exactly are you spotting the MP44L on Amazon? I couldn't find it anywhere recently.
The specs you see are mostly for sequential reads/writes, but games load differently. In practical use, both should perform similarly.
