> 3 dayI have the hymix p31 gold and the evo 970 plus ..both 500gb...The are neck in neck as far as benchmarks BUT the hynix blows away the samsung as far as iops by almost achieving its factory rating while with the samsung, the iops are about half of their claim,especially the read iops..The other area the hynix far exceeds the evo is temps... it runs wayy cooler as in 20c cooler than the samsung..it barely gets warm with a heatsink on it. Lastly and sadly, it will Not in any way work in a mac...at all.. it will prevent mac from booting,even if u have a working mac drive installed...the hynix will cause a kernel panic over driver issues and firmware...i tried everything and its a pity becuz I was going to choose it over the evo after comparing both but I want to use it to dual boot windows and mac and while it works sweet in win 10, its a no go for any mac use...I checked everywhere for firmware updates for the hynix becuz i have a limited window to try and then return it...no joy.. noone mentions it although hynix has acknowleged that its incompatible with mac..they offer no fix.. what a shame.. it will probably have a firmware update but I may have to return mine b4 that.. Im not gonna keep it Hoping that hynix will fix the issue later.

> 3 dayNot the fault of the memory manufacturer, but will not work with the OWC external bus powered thunderbolt case. I got a return email from Hynix regarding this problem, but have not heard from them since.. Oh well

> 3 dayWorth the money. Bought another brand originally and it crapped out 6 months in. Ended up ordering one of these and havent looked back. Great read/write speeds.

Greater than one weekRunning this as an external SSD in thunderbolt enclosure. ~1Gb/s consistent transfer speed over thunderbolt 3 port on Windows 10/11. Satisfactory for my purposes. Installs and runs AAA PC games from it with no issues as well.

> 3 dayA recent purchase of a LG Gram 17 11th gen CPU with 32GB of memory needed a 2nd SSD to match a previous laptop configuration. The laptop came with a Hynix M.2 SSD so I went looking for a Hynix addition. This Hynix Gold P31 1TB Gen3 M.2 2280 Internal SSD was easily installed once the LG Gram chassis was opened (another story entirely... Why do laptop manufacturers make it difficult to open the bottom plate when there are User serviceable parts inside?). So far its been running smoothly and is delivering on good speed. Windows showed over 2400MB/s when I was copying a few hundred large files from the OS SSD to this SSD (including a couple of 30+GB files), which was plenty fast for me. It was the fastest transfer of those files I have seen to date. Recommended.
