Crucial P310 vs Samsung 9100 PRO at every capacity: prices, $/TB, speeds, endurance. Which to buy in July 2026 — full family comparison.
Comparing Crucial P310 against Samsung 9100 PRO model-to-model means looking across the whole capacity range: the winner at 1 TB isn't always the winner at 4 TB, because per-TB pricing shifts with capacity. Here's the full picture.
The Samsung 9100 PRO posts the higher sequential read spec (14,800 MB/s vs 7,100 MB/s). Whether that shows up for you depends on workload: game load times won't change, sustained transfers will.
On value, the Crucial P310 family wins at most capacities — its best configuration lands at $129.75/TB versus $200.00/TB for the Samsung 9100 PRO's best. During the 2026 NAND shortage that spread compounds quickly at 2-4 TB.
The cache design differs: Samsung 9100 PRO carries on-board DRAM, Crucial P310 borrows system RAM via HMB. This matters for database-style workloads and long video-editing sessions, not for everyday use.
