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

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).

Just wanted to submit my experience for those looking for a solid high performance gen 4 SSD. I bought the 2 TB P41 Platiunum and running Crystal Mark benchmark it slightly exceeds the read/write performance stated: I hit just over 7000 read and 6500 write. I saw a lot of complaints about the temperature, but I did not experience any issues there. The hottest my drive got during the benchmark was about 65 degrees celsius, but mostly sitting in the high 50s. Im using a motherboard with a built in standard heatsink cover (metal) with a thermal pad for cooling (came with my motherboard - Asrock Taichi x670e). So, not using any crazy cooling contraptions - just what came with my motherboard and temps are great. That said, for any fast gen 4+ M.2 SSD, you would want to use some form of heatsink to keep it cool. If youre installing it without any heatsink or airflow, then it probably will get warm during intense reads/writes, but as long as you use reasonable thermal transfer interface, its a great drive for the money (I spent just over $200 for the 2 TB version, which is less than most competitors that are slightly slower). One gripe compared to my Saumsung and WD Black drives is that the SK Hynix Drive Manager software is pretty limited. Its not as fleshed-out as the software from Samsung or WD, but its also an SSD, so as long as it performs you really dont need to do much to/with it.

This p41 is the fastest ssd nvme in Korea. Few youtuber tested samsung 980 ssd nvme vs p41. The winner is p41. Hynix P41 is fastest ssd in the world.

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

Purchased the 1tb model. Ran both new,with equal settings in Crystaldiskmark x64 brand new 1tb wd sn850x and the 1tb Hynix Platinum P41 took a massive dump all over the WD 850X. Of course it went on to crush my 1tb wd sn850 regular too. I did it yesterday but the p41 was about 7400/6900 sequential. The 850x was something like 6800/5600. I did it twice and results were pretty much the same.

The P41 NVMe ssd is performing faster than MFG states. Running an Intel 12700k, Gigabyte Gaming X, 64GB ram. No issues so far. CrystalDiskMark image provided, first test, installed as a secondary drive. Also an FYI: other reviews removing a star for no M.2 screw provided. SSD mfgs dont provide the screw. Its the motherboard mfgs that provide it. Ive bought from Samsung, Kingston, Sabrent, Crucial and smaller name brands and none of them have provided me with the screw. Check your machine before ordering, its up to you to buy one if its not on the motherboard already.

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.

Ive been watching a few videos about the Samsung 990 Pro, and Ive wanted to upgrade to it: from my previous 960 Pro NVMe SSD. The 990 Pro was going to be too expensive, so I started looking at reasonable/comparable alternatives. I had seen the Solidigm P44 Pro, and my initial impressions made me feel that: that would be the route I would likely take. Fortunately, I also noticed that the P44 Pro was the same hardware as this Platinum P41, with just different firmware (allegedly). When Black Friday deals were posted, I noticed that this P41 was listed as on discount, and I decided that: any minor differences between the P44 and P41 were likely not going to impact me; thus, I chose to purchase this drive and have cloned my previous 960 Pro data to this new drive. Unfortunately, I cant comment much on the actual performance because my current system is Gen 3 based. I had explicitly purchased this drive intending to upgrade to a 7950x3D AM5-based platform when my Tax-Return comes back at the start of 23. Im pretty happy with the sale price I could get this drive. It will perform significantly better than my old drive and on par with most of the top-tier Gen 4 drives. Time will tell if there are any longer-term problems, but Im doubtful that this drive will present any issues.

Great boot drive for my Thinkpad P50 Laptop. Made a noticeable difference in my startup and loading time. Make sure you get a heat sink or a caddy with heat sink foam built in. It will keep your new drive cooler so that it does not start slowing itself down. I purchased this Platinum 1Tb because I was so pleased with the Gold Version 500Gb. Thanks and keep making a great product.

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.
