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

In my new build, I have a Crucial P5 Plus, a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, and this SK Hynix. All 2 TBs. This drive runs cooler by 5-10 degrees than the others at idle, and is on par or better than them in CrystalDiskMark tests. The Sabrent supposedly has better longevity, and the Crucial is about $35 cheaper usually, but this Hynix appears to be the best performing of the bunch. Definitely recommended!

For those of you who dont know, SK Hynix has sponsor a lot of E-SPORTS games, they are a well known company in the industry, plus they make memory for your GPUs! they are not some small time shop trying to get big. Using this NVME has been awesome, I can honestly say on a PCIE 3.0 system you CAN feel the snappiness of the system, I dont get this from WD SN750 or Seagate Firecuda 530 and yes I understand PCIE 3.0 does not get the full speed of 4.0. Additionally, I can seee my download has gone up significantly in speed, I tested this along side with my Firecuda and WD SN750. is it the IOPS? I dont know, could it be the speed of my network change in possibly within an hour of the testing period? yes but Im willing to bet its this drive. I really wish this company make a bigger drive 4tb version, because that is the reason why I return it, because it only comes in 2tb :( PLEASE MAKE 4TB...I would totally sell my Firecuda 4tb version for a SK Hynix 4tb gold or platinum!

It’s really fast and pairs well with my current pc build

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.

Blazing fast drive. I added a thin copper heatsink since it is in a laptop. Easy to install [after I got the laptop opened]. I had ordered 2. Both registered and worked great!... except one would skip every few minutes while playing a few different games installed on it. The other had no issues with those same games. I returned the one with the game skipping.

This is really fast added the be quiet! BZ003 MC1 Pro M.2 SSD Cooler to it and stays around 41c but I dont game with it so my be just overkill but over double the speed of my Samsung 960 evo 500gb. for the price and pcie 4.0x4 from other benchmarks this seems to have a better i/o in testing . Only day 1 of the install so time will tell and update later

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.

Super expensive, but for my needs, the value of the storage device is fairly met to the price. I payed 102 USD. The instructions for installation get two thumbs up from me even though I didnt need them. Well see how reliable it ends up being, it has only been half a year.

I have PCIe3.0 only and purchased the 2TB m.2 NVMe after having horrible perf issues with a different vendor SP40G 4TB. I decided on this SSD vs Samsung after reading another review that this SSD has good random IO perf. Overall reliable R/W performance of over 1GBytes/s compared to the last 4TB from Amazon that throttled down to zero Mbytes when it got hot, ie over 70C or when the drive is over 1TB full, the speeds drops. The 2TB SKHynix was running steady even when it got hot over 70C and close to being full. I stopped the file/copy after it reached 73C to avoid possible damage. Pros: Great consistent read/write performance, even with random files. Cons: Gets hot fast when read/writing gigabytes of data, definitely needs a heatsink so the SSD will last. Wish they have a 4TB with this level or performance with good price point. Make sure to test out the performance of the SSD when coping/writing from the same SSD with gigabytes of data. Some of the SSD out there crap out on this test and perf goes way down, ie even to zero for a while.

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.
