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

I’ve had flawless performance from all of my Sk-Hynix nvme drives. Really can’t praise them enough. They just work and are consistent in speed and performance. Never an error in sight. Only thing I could want now is just larger nvme capacities.

Id used other SK Hynix drives in the past. With my new system, I needed more storage and wanted a newer generation of drive. When this came up, I snapped it up. Installation, well, its a standard M.2 drive. Its got good speed and pretty good capacity for the price (at time of purchase, prices vary.) Some reviews say this runs a bit hot, and it doesnt come with a heatsink - my mainboard has a cover for (multiple) m.2 drives which doubles as one, so not coming with a heatsink was a plus for me. Given my prior experience with SK Hynix drives, I expect this one to last a good while. Compare current pricing, but all else being equal, Id recommend this drive (or most any of theirs) easily.

Hynix thermal transfer over rated, hottest NVME I have used. And I build a lot of PCs. U will need a high quality Heat Sink to minimize motherboard and case heat levels.

This p41 is the fastest ssd nvme in Korea. Few youtuber tested samsung 980 ssd nvme vs p41. The winner is p41. Hynix P41 is fastest ssd in the world.

Using this as my boot drive on a new pc build. This thing is fast and simple to install.

In my new build, I have a Crucial P5 Plus, a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, and this SK Hynix. All 2 TBs. This drive runs cooler by 5-10 degrees than the others at idle, and is on par or better than them in CrystalDiskMark tests. The Sabrent supposedly has better longevity, and the Crucial is about $35 cheaper usually, but this Hynix appears to be the best performing of the bunch. Definitely recommended!

Excellent drive for a great price

This drive is fast, very fast, but i would not recommend it if your using it for a laptop. I had to upgrade the wd pcie 4.0 nvme drive that came in an hp laptop i just bought because i filled the old one up almost immediately. One of my main criteria was efficiency as the battery life in the laptop is abismal to say the least. After reading expert reviews and tests online all saying this drive is fast and very efficient i jumped at it when i saw it for a decent price. I also have experience with ak hunix drives as i have their s31 sata drive in a desktop n i love it. Cloning the old drive over was a snap, sk hynix gives u an sk hynix version of macrium that works very well. I plopped this thing in and immediately noticed it was fast moving a 16gb file at 2000mbps where i only managed 950 with the old wd drive on the same file. But then i noticed my battery seemed to be draining at a quicker rate. To verify i let it die and charged it up completely before turning it back on and letting it sit idle until it died to see what kind of battery life i got on idle. Sure enough i went from an alteady terrible 6 hours on idle with the wd drive to an even worse 4 hours with the p41 in it. When i used the thing it was like it was sipping battery through a straw giving me 1 n a half to 2 hours. I also noticed it ran hot, sitting around 41-46 degrees c most of the time. Needless to say i didnt keep this drive in the computer, instead opting to buy a 1tb samsung 980 pro(alittle slower but runs cooler and doesnt eat the battery so fast) and i kept this one as a backup. Hopefully they fix some of these issues with firmware updates in the future because it really is a nice drive. Unfortunately for right now if your trying to get a nvme drive for a desktop computer, this one is highly recommended. But if ur trying to get it for a laptop, i say stay away and opt for something else unless u dont mind trading battery life for the speed it delivers. In that case have at it

I own a 2019 Elitedesk 800 g5 mini. I thought upgrading from a 1TB 980 Samsung Pro NVMe to the new SK Hynix P41 2TB Nvme would be a speed and storage space improvement. Sadly, it was not. You may feel excited owning one of the fastest newest PCIe 4th generation NVMe drives. However, it looks like a lot of motherboards before 2021 do not support this standard yet, so you will be running this 2TB drive on your older motherboards at 3rd generation speeds. Its slower than the 980 pro on my Elitedesk 800 g5. I am disappointed. I wanted 2TB of space, but not at a sacrifice of boot, web surfing and application loading speed. I compared see the hard disk led staying on much longer with my new 2TB drive. Perhaps the other thing you may not realize is that the NVMe drive is in the box between the plastic pieces. Its so light and sealed firmly that you may think you got an empty box. It is in there! Separate the two pieces of plastic protecting it!

Its a fast drive. I used Macrium to clone my boot drive. You can download Macrium or get the Hynix version. I was able to resize the partition easy as pie. The new drive is literally 10x faster than the SSD it replaced, but but that doesnt mean your computer will run 10x faster. Disk transfers are snappy. The drive runs pretty hot, you will need to buy a heat shield if your MB doe not have one. In a small case, consider something a bit cooler. Overall, works great.
