    Upgraded my 1TB SSD to 2TB. Process was simple, using SK Hynix cloning software. Device runs at the advertised speeds (checked with ATTO, Black Magic, et al). In two+ months so far, no issues. A no-brainer purchase.

    Bought the SK Hynix P41 Platinum Gen 4 1TB to replace Samsung EVO 970 Gen 3 512GB. Wanted faster Read and especially Write speed for video editing. Pros: Very easy to install & clone with free Macrium Reflect - my MB has 2 M2 Gen 4 slots & PCIe M2 riser board. P41 uses existing Windows drivers - nothing to install Placed P41 in 2nd Gen 4 M2 slot, cloned old EFIS boot partition & 160 GB C: System partition, then switched over to boot from P41 with no probs. Cons: No supplied heatsink - runs hotter under load than M2 Gen 3, but not as warm as other Gen 4 drives – did fine with basic ASUS MB heatsink. SK Hynix website awful - all Sales, no real Support - tried for 2 days to download Hynix Drive manager software - would download very slowly, then crash. Had to get file from 3rd party (Softpedia) Software is so limited as to be not worth downloading. Other: Strange Write results on ChrystalDiskMark. I have both a C: partition and D: partition on the P41. The D: partition yields SEQ read of 6595MB/s and Write of 6041 MB/s - not what Hynix claimed, but they do say UP TO for their specs. The C partition has similar Read specs, but only can manage 3285 MB/s Write speed. Same M2 NVME Gen 4 slot, same P41 drive, just different partitions. Tried the P41 in both the CPU linked M2 Gen 4 slot and the X570 chipset Gen 4 linked slot - same disparity System is ASUS TUF X570 MB, Ryzen 5900X, DDR4 4000 mem, latest AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.7 BIOS and AMD chipset drivers. When loading ~175 GB files on D: drive, did run into the “SLC cache full” speed drop – didn’t expect it at that level of transfer, but did recover in a few mins. Overall, for the price, this is a good value for the average user. If you have money to burn on better drive or just have to have the one with the absolute highest specs, do so. For the rest of us, this is an affordable & more than capable Gen 4 drive.

    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.

    I installed this into an Asus Z590-E gaming motherboards M.2 4x4 slot and it works great. I also have a WD and Samsung 3x4 also installed on this motherboard and this SK hynix is nearly twice as fast on some of the benchmarks. The SK Hynix monitoring software isnt as flashy as other competitors but it provides all the information I need to monitor the drives health. Overall its great drive for the price.

    Im just say it straight its fast and flawless, for the price you get what you pay for also handle heat pretty well so if you got small PC with a lot of heat it can handle it no problems Adding it does not come with screws, dont get mad and knock a star off cause of this, if you are a PC person you know the screws was included in hardware with motherboard so if you have pre built sorry you need to order screws most of the time prebuilt dont come with the hardware

    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 SK Hynix P41 Gen 4 NVMe delivers! I benchmarked at 7.3GB/s READ and 6.6GB/s WRITE. Its even faster than my older Gen 3 NVMes in Raid 0 (4.2GB/s READ, 5.9 GB/s WRITE). System is Ryzen 9 5900X and Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact. There was no issue with going from Gen 3 RAID 0 to mixed Gen 4 + Gen 3 non-RAID NVMes on this boards SO-DIMM slot. It took about 1.5 hours to clone the OS from RAID drives to a SATA SSD and the same amount to clone back to this P41 NVMe. As others have mentioned, this Gen 4 drive runs hotter than the Gen 3 drive. Im seeing around 46C at low usage, while it can ramp up to 55C on high usage. My Gen 3 drive runs idle at 28C and ramps up to 40C. Also, Im happy this is a single-sided NVMe as my older Gen 3 drives were double-sided. Overall, its a killer deal at $170 from the Black Friday sale.

    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.
