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

Bought it because I had a hard drive and it was very slow and I couldn’t play with my friends on my pc, this sad was a big upgrade and did exactly what I wanted. I can play games with my friends and everything loads so much faster.

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.

Delivery was fast, got it same day. The install went smoothly, I used clonezilla to clone my drive.(SK hynx does have a migration tool.) My issue is that my speeds are off. My read speeds are fine around 7000 MB/S, but my write speeds are 2000 MB/S. I have tried updating the firmware but there is no firmware upgrade for the P41. I also updated Windows nothing has helped. Looks like I will need to return.

Im very happy with my SSD. SK Hynix definitely made the right decision making and marketing their own SSDs after all these years. It does what it says on the tin, and is priced competitively with the Samsung 980 Gen 4 taking into account the fact the Hynix does not include the heatsink. I bought the Sabrent Rocket heatsink to put on it and that fits and works great as well. Image of speed test included, I got over 6,300 MB/s read speed which is pretty darn close to the 7,000 claimed, my PC is a pretty modest system running a Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB of DDR4 3600 RAM, and Radeon RX5700 GPU so I would have been surprised to get max speed out of it. As it stands I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good M.2 Gen 4 SSD. The 5 year warranty tells you they stand behind their products as well.

Was looking for a good SSD storage to upgrade my PS5. I had my doubts, especially with how cheap this was (at least at the time of purchase). However, it was worked surprisingly great! The transfer speed is the real sinker though, only took about a minute to move all my existing games to this storage. Id honestly come back to this company if I ever need to upgrade another storage.

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.

This SSD works great for your ps5 expansion slot and it’s very easy to install. Just make sure to buy a heat sink to combine them before you do. Another thing, for anyone who uses an external hard drive, do yourself a favor and unplug your external hdd after moving all your games because you will run into an issue where it will show that you’re using GBs on your internal ps5 SSD even though your not, and that will clear everything up.

Well worth it when on sale.

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

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.
