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

I do a lot of video editing so I need SPACE and SPEED together. This 2TB drive (matched up with a Samsung EvoPlus 2TB) are doing all that Ive asked of them. Both are extremely easy to install. Just remember to GROUND yourself before handling these things. Even though most of the modern electronic devices like these are buffered, why run the risk of damaging it with a static charge? So, make sure you grab a metal ground point in the device youre inserting this into before you touch the SSD card, that reduces the majority of all the risks (providing your computer is actually grounded).

So like most everyone, I got pretty mad when I found out that this NVMEs driver chip was not compatible with Macs.

worked good for my Aurora R7

Installed this SSD in Thunderbolt 3 certified enclosure was immediately tested at 1.3 GB/s write speeds. Not a bad rate but not nearly the 3GB/s that was specified.

This was a straight replacement for a 500 GB SSD on an Alienware laptop. I built an Acronis backup of the old SSD and created a recovery USB drive. Everything worked great after I moved some partitions around. Great product.

I read some reviews that the software for this drive was not up to par when compared to Samsung, however I found the data transfer and disk info utility to be quite good. I was able to transfer my data to this drive from an older SSD and all I had to do was change the boot order in the BIOS - it worked flawlessly. The drive info utility, while not as fancy to look at as the Samsung magician utility, shows me all the info I could ask for and more.

The packaging is simple, yet the drive works very well.

I havent tested this NVME yet, so basing this review on other reviews (hence 4 stars). Its a good product, no doubt about it. However, they put up updated pictures of it, which no longer portray a green PCB, and yet, I received a green one instead of the advertised black. Not huge a deal, but still annoying, because the damn green sticks out.

This drive delivers as advertised! The speed was an amazing difference. I went from an SATA Hynix drive getting 550MB/s read to this M.2 drive getting 3200 MB/s - the benchmarked numbers are amazing. Pics attached of old drive and new drive. Note, this doesnt come with the screw for mounting, but I used a M2x3 screw to mount the new drive. This is installed in a Dell Precision 7510 and the installation was straightforward. The provided Hynix clone software did not work when I tried to run it in Windows10 (read error 9 every time). Thats the only reason for me knocking a star - Id have given 4.5 if I could. I used Marcium and booted with a USB to make the clone and that worked as expected. Straightforward install, and the results speak for themselves. This drive is on par with major retailers and miles ahead of others for sure. If you are on the fence, pick it up when you can as it delivers as advertised.

Works fine. Recommended.
