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

I bought this drive after a Samsung 980 Pro went belly up, after barely a year of moderate use. Clue: look up that drive paired with a Google search of bad blocks. If only I knew... This drive rips and tears through anything I throw at it. It does get a little on the warm side, so I bought a heatsink for it. Still gets a little warm, but better than it going bare-backed. The screenshots were benching right after booting the PC up and the 45c temp was right after running the benchmark. The SK hynix Drive Manager software is decent. Allows for firmware updates and whatnot. Provides many details about the drive like Doorbell Buffer Config command support and temps. The temps have values, thresholds and worst but seems a little odd the way its laid out. Scales go from right to left, meh. First world problems I guess. Get the drive. You wont be disappointed. Hopefully it will last longer than a year.

After cloning this drive, works flawlessly as my startup drive.

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.

Im just say it straight its fast and flawless, for the price you get what you pay for also handle heat pretty well so if you got small PC with a lot of heat it can handle it no problems Adding it does not come with screws, dont get mad and knock a star off cause of this, if you are a PC person you know the screws was included in hardware with motherboard so if you have pre built sorry you need to order screws most of the time prebuilt dont come with the hardware

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!

Everything has been said already about this drive, so I figure I can focus on my application. I have installed this P41 into a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s AMD Gen3 that sports an NVMe Gen4 connector. At time that I ordered this laptop, the 1TB upgrade from Lenovo is about $400 dollars. I reckoned I can do better than that and opted for the least expensive option, the 256GB drive, with plans to upgrade later via third party. One month later, I upgraded to the P41 that costs $104.99. As shown in the snapshot, the P41 can read 7059MB/s when plugged in to the power supply. Temps reached 75 degrees Celsius while running the benchmark. On battery power and conservative settings, it can reach 3500 MB/s read, which is not too bad, considering that it is equal to the speed of NVME Gen 3. Idle temps is about 49 degrees C. YMMV, and be sure that your system has an NVME Gen4 connector to achieve full performance.

Far superior than Samsung SSD’s. This SSD blows Samsung out of the water. A lot smoother. Loads faster. As durable or more! Get this right now. This is the fastest SSD you can get in this category. Zoom Zoom!

I own 2 one in my pc and one in ps5. The both work well.

Super expensive, but for my needs, the value of the storage device is fairly met to the price. I payed 102 USD. The instructions for installation get two thumbs up from me even though I didnt need them. Well see how reliable it ends up being, it has only been half a year.

It’s really fast and pairs well with my current pc build
