SK hynix Gold P31 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 2280 Internal SSD, Up to 3500MB/S, Compact M.2 SSD Form Factor SSD - Internal Solid State Drive with 128-Layer NAND Flash

Great drive for laptops and very energy efficient without sacrificing read/write speeds.

Fast storage for a value price on a 1TB nVme drive

Im new to SSD, so this is likely viewed as a simply stupid mistake... I wanted to clone an installed 512 Gb SSD. Upon trying to do so, it turns out this 500 Gb disk really isnt quite large enough. Pretty much, I wasted my money.

Not yet open the box. But i know it shows great benchmarks. Worth money.

Does exactly as it says. I have not had any problems with it and I have owned one for about 2 years now. I would personally but it again if i ever needed another.

In the last years SK Hynix has been an also-ran in the consumer SSD space; making only a few OEM drives and nothing notable sold to the public. Until now; this drive has proven to be quite amazing in both performance and power efficiency.

I installed one of the SATA versions of this last year to upgrade (and downgrade in a way) my 4 year old Dell Inspiron 15-3567 laptop. I say downgrade in a way because I went from a 1TB HDD to a 500GB SSD. So I upgraded the drive but only got half the storage however this was intentional as it is my C drive for the OS and I dont usually use it for storage as long as I have another drive. This turned out to be a small bump in the road until I discovered that I could replace the optical drive with a storage drive with a couple of inexpensive gadgets. I got an external enclosure for the optical drive so that I could still uise it if need be and a caddy for the HDD that was my C drive before the upgrade and everything was plug and play, simple, inexpensive and works. I also added a second RAM module, also made by SK hynix to match the single 8GB OEM module to bring the old beast up to the 16GB max. With the new SSD and 16GB of matched RAM and a couple of other simple and cheap upgrades, this old tank is working faster and better than a newer Dell 15-7586 2 in 1 that I purchased about a year ago. So I ordered another RAM module as this one also has SK hynix OEM, to match the one thats in here to give me 16GB. This one can have 32GB but the prices are just a bit on the high side lately. If they come down, I will upgrade to 32GB but I dont do anything extreme with my laptops so Im sure the 16GB will be more than sufficient for my needs. I also ordered the 1TB PCIe NVMe 2280 SK hynix SSD to replace the 256GB WD OEM PCIe NVMe 2280 cheapo drive thats in here. I will update within the next few days with performance findings but after the experience Ive had with the SATA drive in my older machine, Im quite sure this one will not disappoint

Did not have a screw

This is in a small form factor computer that serves as a small music server connected to my stereo system and only functions as the boot drive with installed software. All music is on a 2TB HDD in the very rare case the drive fails. I use Optane (pricey and excessive reliability) and MLC drives (much cheaper reliability) for my workstation. Given the lack of reasonably priced MLC options, I went with TLC. Overall, Im happy with the purchase. Its PCI 3.0 and performs better than most of its competition. Ill probably pick up the 2 TB PCI 4.0 version for some builds Im doing for family, since thats the newer part and is also better than most of its competition in that bracket.

It was easy to install and games install very fast.
