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

I was unsure really if I could trust the quality or not of this drive simply because of past experiences with hynix memory being rather hit and miss or simply a bunch of rebranded micron or other brand memory chips on the memory sticks Ive bought from them in the past. I figured the price was good enough and amazon is pretty good with returns so give it a try. Well Ive given it almost 3 months now and the speed is fantastic and very responsive. Ive filled about 1/4th of the drive to 1/2 of the drive space up with games, media, random files and the performance has not dropped. The speeds for read and writing are fantastic and reliable so far. plus having their warranty at 5 years is not bad either. This drive came with no frills to it, packaging was chopped down to just what is necessary and nothing more. no heatsink included with this drive, no software for copying drives(which was ok for me as I was just using it for the extra storage for games and programs alone.). Install aside from the laptop side problems was a breeze, simple slide in and press down and secure with the screw(no screws provided with drive but my laptop had extras in the stick slots so that worked out perfect.). It formatted with not issues and windows recognized it without problems too. Overall at this point I give it a 5 out of 5. It does run warm but according to all data related to these newer style drives that is actually a good thing for their health and performance. It does result in sweatier hands, but hey its winter so at least I got a nice hand warmer. lol If you are on the line between this and samsung I would say unless you want one with already attached heatsink you could do worse for the price. I think for once all the parts and pieces truly are made by this company in South Korea and they are truly high quality. So I for one say go for it!

I have a notebook computer with an M.2 Gen 3 slot. I wanted a 2 TB drive that was energy efficient, both to keep heat down and to help battery life. This one is fast and draws less power than others.

These are the bomb. Cool (as in, low temperature) and super fast. Great for sustained transfers, and really low power for laptop use.

This NVMe M.2 SSD has great performance. Hits speeds as advertised. Used on a new Ryzen Zen 3 build

Easy installation, a rough start when I didnt know I had to use Disk Management to format the m.2 drive.

I splurged and bought myself an Alienware computer for gaming, but after only a few months, I was getting hard disk full errors. I originally thought there were 2 hard drives, but soon realized, they had created multiple partitions on one drive, which became such a nuisance when installing new software. Eventually I had moved every possible thing I could to the D drive, with the exception of the OS, and it was still giving me the message!! I was so aggravated!!

Incredibly fast and snappy in all applications and games. From the reviews and benchmarks I read, this baby outperforms or rivals more expensive pro models from other brands. No complaints at all when installed and used daily.

Tried one and then could not rid Win 10 of endless crashes. Very irritating!

good

Went bad after only a few months and only has 32gb capacity with the most up to date drivers
