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

I 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.

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.

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

I 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!

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.

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.

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.

Have the WD850s, the WD850Xs and the SK Hynix P41s. The P41s are pushing well over spec while the the WD850xs are all well under. Ive had WD tech support investigate why their drives are underperforming the specs they advertise and the answers were lackluster. They could not give me a straight answer after 3 months of sending them log and config files, going back and forth like an idiot. the WD850x is advertised as delivering upto 7300Mb/s but im getting under 7000Mb/s with a 13900K and MSI ACE Z690 MB. This is the case on 2 different setups I have. The other a 12700K and both systems report the same read/write results. WD tech support states that drives meet specs of UPTO 7300MB/s so that means there is nothing wrong with the drives and you can expect anything from 0 (Zero) to 7300MB/s and it meets their spec. Thats total BS. The SK Hynix P41 outperforms the the WD850X considerably in both read and write. The SK Hynix P41 NvMe drives outperform their own specs and they dont hype about it. Way too much hype on the WD drives and as a result they are are underpricing the competition to sell the $%@#$ they are pushing. The WD850x will be the last WD NvMe drives I ever purchase from them. Not because they are bad but because of WDs horrible support, false advertising and lack of trying to figure out what is holding back their drives.....or do they already know the competition is way ahead of them. Se la vie WD.

I own 2 one in my pc and one in ps5. The both work well.

Have had no issues the read/write speed is as advertised which is great to see as companies these days are shady at best
