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 SSD works great for your ps5 expansion slot and it’s very easy to install. Just make sure to buy a heat sink to combine them before you do. Another thing, for anyone who uses an external hard drive, do yourself a favor and unplug your external hdd after moving all your games because you will run into an issue where it will show that you’re using GBs on your internal ps5 SSD even though your not, and that will clear everything up.

Incredibly low power draw, perfect for laptops. Overall performance, including temperatures, are easily on par with Samsung Pro series. This is a no-brainer for the price and performance, as well as the reliability and low power draw. SK Hynix lives up to the hype!

Blazing fast drive. I added a thin copper heatsink since it is in a laptop. Easy to install [after I got the laptop opened]. I had ordered 2. Both registered and worked great!... except one would skip every few minutes while playing a few different games installed on it. The other had no issues with those same games. I returned the one with the game skipping.

Was looking for a good SSD storage to upgrade my PS5. I had my doubts, especially with how cheap this was (at least at the time of purchase). However, it was worked surprisingly great! The transfer speed is the real sinker though, only took about a minute to move all my existing games to this storage. Id honestly come back to this company if I ever need to upgrade another storage.

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.

Excellent drive for a great price

Bought the SK Hynix P41 Platinum Gen 4 1TB to replace Samsung EVO 970 Gen 3 512GB. Wanted faster Read and especially Write speed for video editing. Pros: Very easy to install & clone with free Macrium Reflect - my MB has 2 M2 Gen 4 slots & PCIe M2 riser board. P41 uses existing Windows drivers - nothing to install Placed P41 in 2nd Gen 4 M2 slot, cloned old EFIS boot partition & 160 GB C: System partition, then switched over to boot from P41 with no probs. Cons: No supplied heatsink - runs hotter under load than M2 Gen 3, but not as warm as other Gen 4 drives – did fine with basic ASUS MB heatsink. SK Hynix website awful - all Sales, no real Support - tried for 2 days to download Hynix Drive manager software - would download very slowly, then crash. Had to get file from 3rd party (Softpedia) Software is so limited as to be not worth downloading. Other: Strange Write results on ChrystalDiskMark. I have both a C: partition and D: partition on the P41. The D: partition yields SEQ read of 6595MB/s and Write of 6041 MB/s - not what Hynix claimed, but they do say UP TO for their specs. The C partition has similar Read specs, but only can manage 3285 MB/s Write speed. Same M2 NVME Gen 4 slot, same P41 drive, just different partitions. Tried the P41 in both the CPU linked M2 Gen 4 slot and the X570 chipset Gen 4 linked slot - same disparity System is ASUS TUF X570 MB, Ryzen 5900X, DDR4 4000 mem, latest AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.7 BIOS and AMD chipset drivers. When loading ~175 GB files on D: drive, did run into the “SLC cache full” speed drop – didn’t expect it at that level of transfer, but did recover in a few mins. Overall, for the price, this is a good value for the average user. If you have money to burn on better drive or just have to have the one with the absolute highest specs, do so. For the rest of us, this is an affordable & more than capable Gen 4 drive.

For those of you who dont know, SK Hynix has sponsor a lot of E-SPORTS games, they are a well known company in the industry, plus they make memory for your GPUs! they are not some small time shop trying to get big. Using this NVME has been awesome, I can honestly say on a PCIE 3.0 system you CAN feel the snappiness of the system, I dont get this from WD SN750 or Seagate Firecuda 530 and yes I understand PCIE 3.0 does not get the full speed of 4.0. Additionally, I can seee my download has gone up significantly in speed, I tested this along side with my Firecuda and WD SN750. is it the IOPS? I dont know, could it be the speed of my network change in possibly within an hour of the testing period? yes but Im willing to bet its this drive. I really wish this company make a bigger drive 4tb version, because that is the reason why I return it, because it only comes in 2tb :( PLEASE MAKE 4TB...I would totally sell my Firecuda 4tb version for a SK Hynix 4tb gold or platinum!

I got two of these and raided them together Ive been pretty happy with the performance.

Id used other SK Hynix drives in the past. With my new system, I needed more storage and wanted a newer generation of drive. When this came up, I snapped it up. Installation, well, its a standard M.2 drive. Its got good speed and pretty good capacity for the price (at time of purchase, prices vary.) Some reviews say this runs a bit hot, and it doesnt come with a heatsink - my mainboard has a cover for (multiple) m.2 drives which doubles as one, so not coming with a heatsink was a plus for me. Given my prior experience with SK Hynix drives, I expect this one to last a good while. Compare current pricing, but all else being equal, Id recommend this drive (or most any of theirs) easily.
