SK hynix Gold P31 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 2280 Internal SSD, Up to 3500MB/S, Compact M.2 SSD Form Factor SSD - Internal Solid State Drive with 128-Layer NAND Flash

Nuts

Far exceeded expectations. My motherboard is now the bottleneck, with those drive exceeding what my motherboard says the slot is capable of. This shows it has a really good memory controller. This is a high quality ssd and Id recommend it any day over the other options in this price range. You can get better drives for 2x+ the cost, but at that point youre getting diminishing returns to performance.

These SSDs currently provide industry leading performance per watt. Theyre a perfect fit for notebook computers. Havent heard of SK Hynix? Theyre a major supplier of the worlds SSD components.

I installed this drive in my 4 year old Aurora R7 using a Dual M.2 PCIE Adapter for SATA or PCIE NVMe SSD

I went with this SSD to replace the one on my laptop that was running out of space. Like the recommendations said, it does indeed run quicker and more efficiently (lower power consumption) than my old drive. It may more than other drives in this range, but if youre the kind of person who wants something much beefier than the baseline Western Digital, you cant go wrong with the balance of speed to pricing of this drive. Even the higher performance Samsung drives use more power.

Love the speed, good price. And technically very durable.

great product

Lets get right to the point. The SK hynix P31 SSD is an incredible value. If youre looking for a NVMe SSD, the P31 should be on your short list. It performs as well as top-of-the-line SSDs from other brands, yet the P31s price is akin to mainstream-level drives. It almost seems too good to be true.

Bought as a secondary data drive for my ASUS TUF 17 laptop. Installation was a breeze. After initial boot up, the BIOS recognized and auto configured the drive. A quick visit with Windows 10s Disk Management tool to enable it as a logical drive was all that was needed to get it up and running. Performance was on par with the SK Hynix boot drive that came with the system.

Bought the product and when I installed it I was stuck on the pre-bios screen. I thought there was a problem with the m.2_2 port and removed the ssd. I ran the pc again with my original ssd and my pc boot up perfectly. I changed the slots so i put my old ssd into the m.2_2 port and this one into the m.2_1 and i was still stuck on pre-bios. I removed my old ssd and tried to load it up again and I was still stuck on the pre-bios screen.I removed the ssd and used another ssd that I bought and installed the new one and my old ssd and my pc was able to boot up.
