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

This product will be worth the buy for a med-level gaming laptop. I understand some folks will say something different. I like it.

No issues running in a ps5. I got a heatsink and Running DBrand darkplates, so I have a bit more ventilation than stock, but there shouldnt be any issues.

I get a solid 7GB/sec read on an AM5 motherboard setup. Game load times are faster and the system feels snappier. Highly recommended.

Maybe a bit overkill but those transfer speeds are very nice

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.

One thing to note is that a screw is NOT included for installation. If you purchase this as storage expansion for a laptop, you will likely need to purchase the M2x2 screw separately (if it wasnt included). In my case, I have a Dell Precision 5550 which did not come with a second storage card already installed. When I opened it up to put this new card in, I discovered that not only does Dell NOT provide a screw to mount the card, but the thermal bracket is also not included. So, I had to purchase the thermal bracket separately as well. Luckily, there are a couple of options for those here on Amazon that also include the required screw. All that was learned through trial because Dell does not provide that information. Hopefully this helps anyone else looking to to expand their storage in a Dell laptop. Both Dell and/or SK Hynix could have provided the cheap screw with their products, but chose not to. Neither was very helpful in figuring this out.

Quick with plenty of storage space.

Excellent drive for a great price

As you can see from the CrystalDiskMark image above, this is one of the fastest m.2 drives on the market. At the current prices, its is extremely hard to justify purchasing a traditional hard drive as a system drive when a SSD or m.2 drive will do. I prefer m.2 over SSDs because thats two less cables to interfere with the air flow.

Using this as my boot drive on a new pc build. This thing is fast and simple to install.
