SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 Internal Gaming SSD, Up to 7,000MB/S, Compact M.2 SSD Form Factor SSD - Internal Solid State Drive with 176-Layer NAND Flash

This product will be worth the buy for a med-level gaming laptop. I understand some folks will say something different. I like it.

Build a new rig. My previous rig had a 980 PRO 2TB SSD (which was fine). I was looking for 3x NVMes for my new build and stumbled upon this. I remember SK HYNIX from when I was younger and using a lot of their stuff. I was not disappointed! The speeds are phenomenal and it runs rock solid. Just dont forget your cooler! My third one is coming in tomorrow so I can add it as my 3rd disk to my RAID 0 array. The picture is two of them in RAID 0 in case anyone was wanting to do the same (this is one of my SLOWER tests too).

I bought a pre-built gaming system as my computer died after 7 years and I needed something in a hurry. The boot drive in the PC is also a PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 drive, but it is 1 TB and slower. I wanted to get a second drive for drive D: and for storing games and video files there. I did my research before getting the SK hynix Platinum P41. The extra speed is noticeable.

I get a solid 7GB/sec read on an AM5 motherboard setup. Game load times are faster and the system feels snappier. Highly recommended.

I had two Intel m.2 drives in my computer before that could reach about 2000Mbs read and 1500Mbs write. I changed them out with this SK Hynix and a Samsung 990 Pro and the read/write has gone through the roof! Hovering around 20,000Mbs read and 18,000Mbs write is unbelievable!

I have been building and upgrading a gaming pc over the last few months. Everything was great, but I needed more storage. This SSD was perfect for that! It’s the fastest SSD I’ve ever owned, and is a great value for the money. It’s quite a bit more affordable than its competitors such as Samsung and WD, but offers the exact same, if not better, performance. When it came to installing the SSD, I had no problems. Because it’s an m.2 SSD, all I needed was an m.2 slot and a single screw that was already included with my motherboard. So I just slotted it into the motherboard and booted up my system, with zero issues. I’ve installed multiple applications and games on the SSD. They downloaded extremely quickly, and loading times were almost non-existent! On top of all of this, the P41 is a PCI Express Gen 4 SSD, so it’s great for futureproofing and offers insane reading and writing times. Overall, I’d say the P41 is one of if not the best options for anyone building a gaming pc, or anyone else who needs fast, reliable storage.

I bought this drive based on a comparison review I read with the big players (ie Samsung, Western Digital et al) where it seemed to outperform in a number of categories related to r/w speeds and overall energy use. I bought it not sure if it would even function in the the Dell laptop I put it in which came with a 250gb drive. The laptop recognized the drive without issue. I also put Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 on it. Flawless install, works perfectly, boots faster and now with 8x the space. Now I wonder if this mobo can accept 32 gb of memory. Hmmmm…

It was a semi easy install. Did have to buy a heatsink for it. But it works amazing. The games that you change over go super fast.

I’ve had flawless performance from all of my Sk-Hynix nvme drives. Really can’t praise them enough. They just work and are consistent in speed and performance. Never an error in sight. Only thing I could want now is just larger nvme capacities.

Upgrading from 850 Western Digital 850s SSDs. These drives equal the Samsung 990 pro at a better price point and are fast . .
