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

Love the space and speed

Ultra fast no problems with installation Great product.

This thing is so fast and has so much space. I bought it to make sure I could have a bunch of games installed at the same time and still get great speeds. Never going back to just an SSD for my main HDD again.

I bought this drive based on a comparison review I read with the big players (ie Samsung, Western Digital et al) where it seemed to outperform in a number of categories related to r/w speeds and overall energy use. I bought it not sure if it would even function in the the Dell laptop I put it in which came with a 250gb drive. The laptop recognized the drive without issue. I also put Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 on it. Flawless install, works perfectly, boots faster and now with 8x the space. Now I wonder if this mobo can accept 32 gb of memory. Hmmmm…

Far superior than Samsung SSD’s. This SSD blows Samsung out of the water. A lot smoother. Loads faster. As durable or more! Get this right now. This is the fastest SSD you can get in this category. Zoom Zoom!

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.

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.

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.

One of the fastest pcie 4.0 m.2s on the market. Very happy with it.

Just wanted to submit my experience for those looking for a solid high performance gen 4 SSD. I bought the 2 TB P41 Platiunum and running Crystal Mark benchmark it slightly exceeds the read/write performance stated: I hit just over 7000 read and 6500 write. I saw a lot of complaints about the temperature, but I did not experience any issues there. The hottest my drive got during the benchmark was about 65 degrees celsius, but mostly sitting in the high 50s. Im using a motherboard with a built in standard heatsink cover (metal) with a thermal pad for cooling (came with my motherboard - Asrock Taichi x670e). So, not using any crazy cooling contraptions - just what came with my motherboard and temps are great. That said, for any fast gen 4+ M.2 SSD, you would want to use some form of heatsink to keep it cool. If youre installing it without any heatsink or airflow, then it probably will get warm during intense reads/writes, but as long as you use reasonable thermal transfer interface, its a great drive for the money (I spent just over $200 for the 2 TB version, which is less than most competitors that are slightly slower). One gripe compared to my Saumsung and WD Black drives is that the SK Hynix Drive Manager software is pretty limited. Its not as fleshed-out as the software from Samsung or WD, but its also an SSD, so as long as it performs you really dont need to do much to/with it.
