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

One of the fastest pcie 4.0 m.2s on the market. Very happy with it.

Excellent drive for a great price

Have the WD850s, the WD850Xs and the SK Hynix P41s. The P41s are pushing well over spec while the the WD850xs are all well under. Ive had WD tech support investigate why their drives are underperforming the specs they advertise and the answers were lackluster. They could not give me a straight answer after 3 months of sending them log and config files, going back and forth like an idiot. the WD850x is advertised as delivering upto 7300Mb/s but im getting under 7000Mb/s with a 13900K and MSI ACE Z690 MB. This is the case on 2 different setups I have. The other a 12700K and both systems report the same read/write results. WD tech support states that drives meet specs of UPTO 7300MB/s so that means there is nothing wrong with the drives and you can expect anything from 0 (Zero) to 7300MB/s and it meets their spec. Thats total BS. The SK Hynix P41 outperforms the the WD850X considerably in both read and write. The SK Hynix P41 NvMe drives outperform their own specs and they dont hype about it. Way too much hype on the WD drives and as a result they are are underpricing the competition to sell the $%@#$ they are pushing. The WD850x will be the last WD NvMe drives I ever purchase from them. Not because they are bad but because of WDs horrible support, false advertising and lack of trying to figure out what is holding back their drives.....or do they already know the competition is way ahead of them. Se la vie WD.

Installed in a ps5 and it’s working good so far. Just make sure to get heat sink and thermal pads for it. Will update review if anything happens.

Install was easy on z790 e gaming stix motherboard. Dont need a heatsink with that motherboard as it comes with its own cooling solution. Make sure to read your motherboard guide on adding ssds as some reccomeded to add an extra thermal pad.

The fastest SSD I’ve ever seen by a lot. It’s the crown jewel on my 13900k/4090 build.

Delivery was fast, got it same day. The install went smoothly, I used clonezilla to clone my drive.(SK hynx does have a migration tool.) My issue is that my speeds are off. My read speeds are fine around 7000 MB/S, but my write speeds are 2000 MB/S. I have tried updating the firmware but there is no firmware upgrade for the P41. I also updated Windows nothing has helped. Looks like I will need to return.

Its a fast drive. I used Macrium to clone my boot drive. You can download Macrium or get the Hynix version. I was able to resize the partition easy as pie. The new drive is literally 10x faster than the SSD it replaced, but but that doesnt mean your computer will run 10x faster. Disk transfers are snappy. The drive runs pretty hot, you will need to buy a heat shield if your MB doe not have one. In a small case, consider something a bit cooler. Overall, works great.

Does not even need a heatsinks to operate under full load. My Samsung drives have been dying left and right and I no longer trust them. Hynix is now in charge of my data :) I Still love bdie ram though.

Bought it because I had a hard drive and it was very slow and I couldn’t play with my friends on my pc, this sad was a big upgrade and did exactly what I wanted. I can play games with my friends and everything loads so much faster.
