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

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.

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

Ultra fast no problems with installation Great product.

One thing to note is that a screw is NOT included for installation. If you purchase this as storage expansion for a laptop, you will likely need to purchase the M2x2 screw separately (if it wasnt included). In my case, I have a Dell Precision 5550 which did not come with a second storage card already installed. When I opened it up to put this new card in, I discovered that not only does Dell NOT provide a screw to mount the card, but the thermal bracket is also not included. So, I had to purchase the thermal bracket separately as well. Luckily, there are a couple of options for those here on Amazon that also include the required screw. All that was learned through trial because Dell does not provide that information. Hopefully this helps anyone else looking to to expand their storage in a Dell laptop. Both Dell and/or SK Hynix could have provided the cheap screw with their products, but chose not to. Neither was very helpful in figuring this out.

Have the WD850s, the WD850Xs and the SK Hynix P41s. The P41s are pushing well over spec while the the WD850xs are all well under. Ive had WD tech support investigate why their drives are underperforming the specs they advertise and the answers were lackluster. They could not give me a straight answer after 3 months of sending them log and config files, going back and forth like an idiot. the WD850x is advertised as delivering upto 7300Mb/s but im getting under 7000Mb/s with a 13900K and MSI ACE Z690 MB. This is the case on 2 different setups I have. The other a 12700K and both systems report the same read/write results. WD tech support states that drives meet specs of UPTO 7300MB/s so that means there is nothing wrong with the drives and you can expect anything from 0 (Zero) to 7300MB/s and it meets their spec. Thats total BS. The SK Hynix P41 outperforms the the WD850X considerably in both read and write. The SK Hynix P41 NvMe drives outperform their own specs and they dont hype about it. Way too much hype on the WD drives and as a result they are are underpricing the competition to sell the $%@#$ they are pushing. The WD850x will be the last WD NvMe drives I ever purchase from them. Not because they are bad but because of WDs horrible support, false advertising and lack of trying to figure out what is holding back their drives.....or do they already know the competition is way ahead of them. Se la vie WD.

Have had no issues the read/write speed is as advertised which is great to see as companies these days are shady at best

I bought a pre-built gaming system as my computer died after 7 years and I needed something in a hurry. The boot drive in the PC is also a PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 drive, but it is 1 TB and slower. I wanted to get a second drive for drive D: and for storing games and video files there. I did my research before getting the SK hynix Platinum P41. The extra speed is noticeable.

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

As the reviews state, the P41 is very fast, but it runs hot. I also own a Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB, which is in the top-tier just like the KC3000, SN850(X) and 980 PRO. My recommendation is unless you absolutely need the extra speed, IOPS, 4K writes, etc., that this drive offers, I would recommend looking at the Firecuda 530. The 530 runs about 12c-14c cooler than the P41. I ended up replacing my motherboards m.2 heatsink cover with the Acidalie heatsink, which ultimately dropped the temps by 7c-8c at load. Before the Acidalie, the temps were 68-69c during a gaming session for Sensor 1 and upper 70s to low 80s for Sensor 2. After the Acidalie, Im in the low 60s.

luv it runs fast . boots fast .load programs fast no complaints.
