SK hynixPlatinum P41 500GB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 for Gaming, Up to 7,000MB/S, Compact M.2 SSD Form Factor SSD - Internal Solid State Drive with 176-Layer NAND Flash

gen4 nvme, this thing is very fast, honestly faster than I need but its fast. I tested it and my results confirmed advertised speeds so I'm very pleased with that. I put this in my main gaming rig, it doesn't generate a ton of heat that I can tell. My system remains very cool so I doubt this guy gets particularly hot. I'm not doing anything that would stress it out other than when I benchmarked it. When I built my system, I popped it in, the system found it, we installed an OS on it so perfectly compatible with my systems bios. Gaming performance like I said I can't complain. I'm not doing anything that would really stress this guy out as its crazy fast. It fit perfectly in the m.2 slot, and it's been perfectly reliable for the last 3months since I built it. I got this at the recommendation of a buddy of mine who builds pc's all the time.

its a great product. it does its thing but the speeds might have to be adjusted to get the whole 100% speed. my games load way faster now.

Excelente ssd, de los mejores que he usado

The SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 drive has been an outstanding SSD these last few years. It has delivered exceptional performance for both casual and demanding use. Built on SK hynix’s cutting-edge 176-layer NAND technology, it stands out for its incredible read and write speeds. These speeds make it an excellent choice for gamers, content creators, and professionals who require lightning-fast data access and multitasking capabilities.One of the most impressive aspects of the Platinum P41 is its reliability. With an impressive endurance rating of 1,200 TBW (terabytes written) and a 5-year warranty, it offers peace of mind for long-term use. SK hynix’s focus on thermal management is evident, as the drive stays remarkably cool under load.The drive also excels in real-world scenarios, making it perfect for large file transfers, 4K video editing, and gaming, where reduced loading times truly shine. The inclusion of software tools like SK hynix's "Easy Kit" further enhances the user experience, offering straightforward drive management and firmware updates.Overall, it has been my experience that the Platinum P41 blends top-tier performance, durability, and value in a single package. Whether you're upgrading your gaming rig or boosting the performance of a workstation, this SSD is a worthwhile investment that won’t disappoint. So far - I've bought two of these - & I'm getting a third soon. [The 1TB version are also highly reliable - I have a few of those in some laptops.]

This is my third P41 SSD and fourth SK Hynix SSD (other being a P31 Gold). These drives are awesome. Super reliable, and fast. On Linux this thing is a rocket. Keep in mind if you’re putting these on a motherboard with built-in heat sinks, you may need an extra rubber support pad because this is only a single sided SSD and it may bend under the heat sink otherwise. I can’t wait for the PCIe 5.0 version! SK Hynix for life!

Great fast NVME for a PS5. After hours of reviews & research I found this was an excellent combo from a very reputable microchip company in Asia, and ordered the Hynix P41 2TB NVME & their heatsink without hesitation. Hynix mas been making high-end memory chips for top-notch brand-name RAM stick companies for decades. Remove a RAM heatsink, and you'll quite often see Hynix written on the microchips.If you buy the Hynix NVME heatsink for PS% it says, "Pair with Hynix P41 NVME for PS5." However, this P41 NVME doesn't advertise strongly for PS5 use yet by itself. My PS5 recognized, approved, and formatted this NVME after installation. This NVME actually exceeds the PS5's requirements for add-on storage, and transferring the few large ~200GB games already installed from the primary storage to this was lightning fast. Also, the MTBF of the 2TB P41 is higher than all the other NVMEs I was looking at... meaning it should last 10+ years depending on usage.There are other very good NVMEs out there for the PS5 undoubtedly... but after all my research and initial experience... this NVME is top-tier for the PS5, and PCs too.

SK nunca decepciona

GOOD:• Fast.• SKhynix is an OEM supplier to major brands like Apple; they're not a no-name company.BAD:• Runs unusually hot.• Had one flake after less than a year, though it passed SMART and worked after being moved to an external enclosure. Still, makes me nervous about long-term reliability especially given the heat.UGLY:• Reports of major hassles getting warranty support: SKhynix doesn't want to do direct RMAs, directs you to go through the retailer that sold it, which gets... problematic... with Amazon customer service.
