    Glad this came in when it did I was doing a build and needed it bad.

    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 PCIe3.0 only and purchased the 2TB m.2 NVMe after having horrible perf issues with a different vendor SP40G 4TB. I decided on this SSD vs Samsung after reading another review that this SSD has good random IO perf. Overall reliable R/W performance of over 1GBytes/s compared to the last 4TB from Amazon that throttled down to zero Mbytes when it got hot, ie over 70C or when the drive is over 1TB full, the speeds drops. The 2TB SKHynix was running steady even when it got hot over 70C and close to being full. I stopped the file/copy after it reached 73C to avoid possible damage. Pros: Great consistent read/write performance, even with random files. Cons: Gets hot fast when read/writing gigabytes of data, definitely needs a heatsink so the SSD will last. Wish they have a 4TB with this level or performance with good price point. Make sure to test out the performance of the SSD when coping/writing from the same SSD with gigabytes of data. Some of the SSD out there crap out on this test and perf goes way down, ie even to zero for a while.

    Actually getting those advertised speeds on this drive is killer. The system is snappy and crisp! I dont know if its because the drive is paired with the 32gb sk hynix m die ram (wish I could have gotten a die 64gb kit) that its really responsive but, Im super pleased with this drive. Should have went with a 2tb instead of the 1tb is the only downside for me, definitely recommend.

    This SK Hynix P41 Gen 4 NVMe delivers! I benchmarked at 7.3GB/s READ and 6.6GB/s WRITE. Its even faster than my older Gen 3 NVMes in Raid 0 (4.2GB/s READ, 5.9 GB/s WRITE). System is Ryzen 9 5900X and Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact. There was no issue with going from Gen 3 RAID 0 to mixed Gen 4 + Gen 3 non-RAID NVMes on this boards SO-DIMM slot. It took about 1.5 hours to clone the OS from RAID drives to a SATA SSD and the same amount to clone back to this P41 NVMe. As others have mentioned, this Gen 4 drive runs hotter than the Gen 3 drive. Im seeing around 46C at low usage, while it can ramp up to 55C on high usage. My Gen 3 drive runs idle at 28C and ramps up to 40C. Also, Im happy this is a single-sided NVMe as my older Gen 3 drives were double-sided. Overall, its a killer deal at $170 from the Black Friday sale.

    Correction to previous review 12/18 The correction is the speed issues seems to be with my laptop, I tried multiple PCEI 4 SSD and they were all getting a big below the Hynix, therefore since it is reaching speeds better than the rest of SSD I have upgraded the stars to 4 since it runs super cool and price wise it is better than the competition. Hynix just needs to update it stuff of the software side to make this the best product on the market. The pricing of the product is great however it didnt reach the speeds as advertised, now I understand that the speeds are all synthetic benchmarks but still it wasnt even close (my read was 3600 and 3500 for the writes). Another issue I had was with the software, first its a pain to download (speeds were horrible) and the software it self once downloaded seems very half baked. For instance the software update button lets you update the ssd but you have to download the update and than use the software to open/update it. Its not very intuitive. Returning to try a different ssd.

    Its a PCIe 4.0 drive from a tech-dominant company... not shocking to see high speeds from this product. But, I do noticed a few things that are important to professional usage: > The ability to translate regular files into thumbnails (images) is incredible - almost instantaneous. Normally, I dont see an instant translation on the first use - very important for CAD and CAE files that take advantage of Windows thumbnail viewing. > Load time for CAD (i.e., Solidworks, Solid Edge) is much more fluent with larger assemblies - which most users dont care about (compared to Samsung 980 pro). If you use mechanical drives at this point - shame on you? > Opening video, music, and photos is a noticeable reward with this SSD (small file cache and multitasking is fabulous) > If you have an extensive movie or music library this drive is premium (small file handling) with crazy speed - helps with file conversions and compression/decompression. > Windows 10 load time has many factors - but this drive shaved 5 seconds from my previous SSD (total = 7 seconds). Yes, Im greedy, bias, and easily spoiled by advanced technology.

    Crazy fast! The test results shows it all. I did have to go to my bios and change the PCIe from auto to PCIe 4. I recommend to download Samsung magician to check if the drive is running at PCIe 4 x 4.

    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

    It works as expected in both Linux and Windows. In Windows 11, the OS does not acknowledge the hardware encryption (you can tell by disabling fallback to software encryption in the group policy entry). That being said, the benchmarks before and after software encryption were very close. On the encryption aspect, there is a reddit discussion about it, saying the encryption is, TCG Pyrite. According to several articles, it doesnt really qualify as encryption, so software encryption is better than nothing.
