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

Good~!!!

Been about a month of daily usage now, and all I can say is WOW. This is quick. This is a time saver. I bought the base model M1 MacBook Air (2020), and its been great for what its worth over the last 20+ months of daily usage. In this case, my storage option was 256GB, which actually isnt much since I am doing more content creation nowadays. Currently using this 2TB NVMe SSD as a storage alternative without breaking the bank. Definitely quick, spiffy, and doesnt overheat with my TB4 external SSD enclosure. I am getting read speeds shy under 2GB/s and read speeds shy under 1GB/s, which are more than enough for my needs. However, read and write speeds may vary for others due to the different enclosures out there. I would definitely recommend this, especially for its value.

I used this to replace a bad drive in my XPS13. It fit perfectly and I was able to restore my system with no problems. Ive used several Hynix SSDs and been happy with all of them.

Its definitely worth spend the extra couple of dollars for this drive over the less expensive options. It truly is faster. I replaced my drive a couple of weeks ago with a drive (Im confident youre considering buying as you read this) that was about 20% less expensive. I just replaced my wifes drive with this one (in the exact same sister laptop as mine) and when we do a side-by-side test, my wifes computer is clearly out preforming mine. Trust me, if you buy this drive you will be glad you did.,

Speed as advertised. Never went beyond 40c. Heatsink not needed, cant tell whether my stick is black or very dark green but says v3.0. Windows 7 needs a hotfix, I got it from utuber danimationstips, Jan/2021 post. Unfortunately for me, Win7 doesnt boot any faster than my existing sata SSD :( Any Mobo with UEFI should be able to boot. Your Mobo may need a firmware flash, check with your vendor. As usual, your Mobo BIOS should first see it, and then Windows Disk Manager should see it next. The Hynix Disk Manager is not worth much, seem to be written in a hurry and no care for Quality Control, the fonts are on top of each other. Oh, when I use the Hynix as the boot device, my PC will crash at sleep, I had to turn off hibernation (power cfg -H off). I dont use hibernation much but if you do, gotta resolve that issue.

Not the fastest SSD, but way more power efficient than anything else in its class. SSD speeds without killing your battery! Ive bought 5 over 2 years and all are superb.

I like these SK Hynix M.2 ssds theyre fast and mine are right on with speeds according to Crystal Disk Mark. Longevity, is another factor cant be sure about as these are relatively new drives. But so far I like. Would highly recommend. I have (2) 500GB and (1) 1000GB.

Works great in a Dell 7060. Motherboard slot in this computer can take an sata or M.2 type memory.

Ive used SATA versions of SK Hynix Gold SSDs in other computer builds, and they are outstanding. This was my first time cloning/replacing a WIndows 11, bitlocker encrypted NVME, 1TB up to 2TB. My Dell XPS 15 9570 is PCI express Gen 3, so there was zero need for buying a more expensive, faster drive. The upgrade worked perfectly using Macrium Reflect 8, connecting this drive with a ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, 10 Gbps USB3.2 USB-C Tool-Free Aluminum Adapter. The only real twist is to clone the drive unecrypted (bitlocker disabled) and then turn it back on after the swap. I extended the C partition to use the new space using Mini Partition Tool. Worked perfectly, and, this drive performs faster than my stock NVME.

very good~
