Which is better for gaming?

The Crucial P310. Its 2TB capacity holds more games, and its rated 7,100 MB/s read is faster than the US75's unstated Gen4 speed. In practice, game load times differ little between Gen4 drives.

Is the P310 worth the extra money?

If you need 2TB and published endurance, yes. At $300.95 at Newegg as of November 8, 2026, it costs more than a 1TB US75, but you get double the capacity and a 440 TBW rating.

The P310 has a stated 440 TBW and 1.5M-hour MTBF. Silicon Power does not publish a TBW figure for the US75, so its endurance cannot be compared directly.

Will either work in a laptop?

Both are M.2 2280, so they fit most laptops with a full-length M.2 slot. Check that the slot is PCIe Gen4 for full speed, and that the laptop has room for a drive without a heatsink.

Which is better for video editing?

The P310. Its 6,000 MB/s write speed and 440 TBW handle large footage files and frequent writes better than the US75, whose write speed and endurance are not published.

Can I use the US75 as a second drive?

Yes. It is a good fit for a spare M.2 slot holding games or backups while the P310 or another drive runs Windows.
