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

For those of you who dont know, SK Hynix has sponsor a lot of E-SPORTS games, they are a well known company in the industry, plus they make memory for your GPUs! they are not some small time shop trying to get big. Using this NVME has been awesome, I can honestly say on a PCIE 3.0 system you CAN feel the snappiness of the system, I dont get this from WD SN750 or Seagate Firecuda 530 and yes I understand PCIE 3.0 does not get the full speed of 4.0. Additionally, I can seee my download has gone up significantly in speed, I tested this along side with my Firecuda and WD SN750. is it the IOPS? I dont know, could it be the speed of my network change in possibly within an hour of the testing period? yes but Im willing to bet its this drive. I really wish this company make a bigger drive 4tb version, because that is the reason why I return it, because it only comes in 2tb :( PLEASE MAKE 4TB...I would totally sell my Firecuda 4tb version for a SK Hynix 4tb gold or platinum!

The fastest SSD I’ve ever seen by a lot. It’s the crown jewel on my 13900k/4090 build.

Works as well as my Samsung 980. And no memory firmware problem.

just as the title says. cloned my older 250gb Sam sata ssd with my OS with zero issues. and notably faster in every scenario

Does not even need a heatsinks to operate under full load. My Samsung drives have been dying left and right and I no longer trust them. Hynix is now in charge of my data :) I Still love bdie ram though.

This SK Hynix P41 Gen 4 NVMe delivers! I benchmarked at 7.3GB/s READ and 6.6GB/s WRITE. Its even faster than my older Gen 3 NVMes in Raid 0 (4.2GB/s READ, 5.9 GB/s WRITE). System is Ryzen 9 5900X and Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact. There was no issue with going from Gen 3 RAID 0 to mixed Gen 4 + Gen 3 non-RAID NVMes on this boards SO-DIMM slot. It took about 1.5 hours to clone the OS from RAID drives to a SATA SSD and the same amount to clone back to this P41 NVMe. As others have mentioned, this Gen 4 drive runs hotter than the Gen 3 drive. Im seeing around 46C at low usage, while it can ramp up to 55C on high usage. My Gen 3 drive runs idle at 28C and ramps up to 40C. Also, Im happy this is a single-sided NVMe as my older Gen 3 drives were double-sided. Overall, its a killer deal at $170 from the Black Friday sale.

Install was easy on z790 e gaming stix motherboard. Dont need a heatsink with that motherboard as it comes with its own cooling solution. Make sure to read your motherboard guide on adding ssds as some reccomeded to add an extra thermal pad.

I ordered the 2TB model for $168 during black friday which was a pretty good deal (especially for how high end this NVMe drive is!) for my PlayStation 5 along with the Elecgear heatsink. For anyone thats wondering, theyre a great combination! Ive not used it at all in a PC but its my understanding that it hits higher speed results on a PC due to how the PS5 just works in general. As an example of how quickly games copy to it, it took 6 minutes and 27 seconds to copy over 457GB of data from the system storage onto the NVMe drive. Very fast!

It was a semi easy install. Did have to buy a heatsink for it. But it works amazing. The games that you change over go super fast.

I love the storage capacity and the read speed of the NVMe SSD but for whatever reason I am unable to get anywhere close to the advertised write speed. It could very well be something wrong with my motherboard or OS config because my other SSDs seems to top out at around the same write speed as well. I tried enabling TRIM on windows 11 and that didnt seem to fix the problem
