> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayBuild a new rig. My previous rig had a 980 PRO 2TB SSD (which was fine). I was looking for 3x NVMes for my new build and stumbled upon this. I remember SK HYNIX from when I was younger and using a lot of their stuff. I was not disappointed! The speeds are phenomenal and it runs rock solid. Just dont forget your cooler! My third one is coming in tomorrow so I can add it as my 3rd disk to my RAID 0 array. The picture is two of them in RAID 0 in case anyone was wanting to do the same (this is one of my SLOWER tests too).

> 3 dayI use this drive for my games, and it is a very quick drive with a great price per GB and a warranty that meets or exceeds the competition. Theres a reason its highly rated by all the reputable review sites. The only downside is that SK Hynix doesnt have a robust software suite like Samsung does with Samsung Magician, but the price is much lower and speeds higher, which is a great tradeoff.

Greater than one weekI got two of these and raided them together Ive been pretty happy with the performance.

> 3 dayI bought this drive after a Samsung 980 Pro went belly up, after barely a year of moderate use. Clue: look up that drive paired with a Google search of bad blocks. If only I knew... This drive rips and tears through anything I throw at it. It does get a little on the warm side, so I bought a heatsink for it. Still gets a little warm, but better than it going bare-backed. The screenshots were benching right after booting the PC up and the 45c temp was right after running the benchmark. The SK hynix Drive Manager software is decent. Allows for firmware updates and whatnot. Provides many details about the drive like Doorbell Buffer Config command support and temps. The temps have values, thresholds and worst but seems a little odd the way its laid out. Scales go from right to left, meh. First world problems I guess. Get the drive. You wont be disappointed. Hopefully it will last longer than a year.

> 3 dayJust 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.

> 3 dayEverything has been said already about this drive, so I figure I can focus on my application. I have installed this P41 into a Lenovo Thinkpad T14s AMD Gen3 that sports an NVMe Gen4 connector. At time that I ordered this laptop, the 1TB upgrade from Lenovo is about $400 dollars. I reckoned I can do better than that and opted for the least expensive option, the 256GB drive, with plans to upgrade later via third party. One month later, I upgraded to the P41 that costs $104.99. As shown in the snapshot, the P41 can read 7059MB/s when plugged in to the power supply. Temps reached 75 degrees Celsius while running the benchmark. On battery power and conservative settings, it can reach 3500 MB/s read, which is not too bad, considering that it is equal to the speed of NVME Gen 3. Idle temps is about 49 degrees C. YMMV, and be sure that your system has an NVME Gen4 connector to achieve full performance.

> 3 dayI’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.

09-06-2025This 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.
