  • Worth every penny!
Capacity: 500GB
The SK hynix Gold P31 500GB M.2 SSD is a game-changer for my PC setup. Right from the installation, I noticed how compact and well-made the M.2 module is. Upon booting up, the speed difference was night and day. With its NVMe Gen3 support, everything from system boot times to application launches became lightning fast. Got it at $30 with a discount. Worth every penny! This SSD, with its reliable performance, has added a noticeable zing to my system's responsiveness. Transferring files feels almost instantaneous, and tasks that used to make my old drive chug along are now handled with ease. Moreover, the temperatures have been reasonable, even under heavy workloads. The seller shipped it promptly, ensuring the SSD was packaged securely to avoid any in-transit damages. It's evident that SK hynix has put considerable effort into ensuring both quality and performance with the Gold P31 series. For anyone looking to upgrade their storage game and bring new life to their computer, this SSD comes highly recommended. A seamless blend of speed, reliability, and value! ... show more

  • Requires technical skill to install, superb SSD
Capacity: 2TB
I did my research to match a compatible drive with the databus in my laptop based on the brand/model/specs of the existing drive. I bought this drive to fill the second drive slot in the computer. I've built computers piece by piece and I've upgraded components in every computer I've owned since 1985. This installation was the trickiest. Not because of the drive. Once I unearthed the slot, lined up the connector, and buttoned up the computer, the drive was instantly recognized by my BIOS and was ready to populate with data. But beware you may need a technician to safely install your SSD. I had to use a special set of mini star drivers and plastic prying tools to remove the bottom of the laptop case. I researched the process and consulted my laptop service manual (thank you Dell). Proceeded cautiously with good lighting and good tools. Your computer may offer easier access than my year-old laptop. I've been using the new drive for about 6 months, and it works great. Fast and reliable. ... show more

  • Amazing performance, needs more hardware.
Capacity: 1TB
I bought this SSD in an attempt to improve my game performance by just a *little* bit more. In reality, I improved my load times and FPS significantly! Warhammer Darktide, a game that used to take well over a minute to load into, now takes less than 20 seconds and runs like a dream when compared to my old hard drive performance. The only complaint I had was the drive didn't come with the tiny little screw I needed, and thus I had to purchase a new one. ... show more

  • Great value!
Capacity: 1TB
I wanted a reliable SSD at a reasonable price and got it in the Hynix Gold. I uploaded 700 gb of data yesterday which took about 7 minutes. Not blazingly fast, but sufficient for my needs. If tech specs are accurate this SSD should have a TBW of 750 which will give me decades of reliability.

  • Fast NVME
Capacity: 1TB
It is a robust nvme SSD with low heat dissipation. My laptop does not get as hot as before. I do not play games and O.S. response is faster than using SATA drive.

  • Best overall deal!
Capacity: 1TB
I first purchased a Samsung 970 EVO Plus because I used to have an 860 and I recall that Samsung had their custom drivers and software that actually upgrades the firmware for better performance (unlike most other brands...) - until I decided to do one last search before I sealed the deal! The Samsung would have cost me $195 after taxes, but I looked and I kept seeing reviews on this drive and I remember that SK Hynix did have drives, but they were not listed on 'other' sites that I was thinking about buying from. EVERY review rates this drives as near perfect and the fastest PCIE 3.0 drive on most levels - especially write speed, and it is second to NONE in power efficiency and low power use! The only negatives are the PCB color (for some) and some small read drop off when compared to some, but it is still near the top. Anyone who knows the computer industry knows that SK Hynix, along with Micron and Samsung are the actual NAND and other memory manufacturers that sell or make chips for all of these various SSD and/or RAM brands, all others do not make the memory. This is why this drive is a top performer as they have their own, custom controller, which is very fast. Plus, they have a 128 layer NAND which is a first in the industry and provides many benefits. After review after review, I realized that the only drives that outperform this one are the most expensive and/or the PCIE 4.0 drives - which heat up a lot and are only available on AMD platforms. All reviews marveled at the low power use and efficiency of this M.2 drive to the point that they were shocked and memorized by it's unusually highly efficient performance! They could not believe it's performance period - let alone for a lot less than other brand's top drives. This is on par with Samsung's top and most expensive drive - the pro and/or the plus. I tried to go on their website and it was a very slow moving site with no real information on the product and no toolbox software or no custom drivers, so I was wondering how committed they were. However, I knew that they made the memory, so it explains why this drive is so great. Yes - the PCB could have been colored black - or yellow instead of old school green, but I am not able to see it once installed anyway, so it does not matter much to me. I tried finding info on it such as TRIM, drivers or encryption, but it DOES have all wear leveling features but no encryption. I did not mind the absence of encryption since my Teamgroup (which beat my old 860 Samsung by a lot) SSD did not have encryption or it's own drivers or firmware updates. Once this was installed - it blew away the Teamgroup, the old Samsung and it made my already speedy PC feel like a new PC! The Samsung that I had always tested below the advertised speed. The Teamgroup drive tested 3110 read and 2008 write when the specs called for 3300 and 2500. The SK tested (using Samsung Magician) 3440 read and 3241 write! This is the first drive I had that got just about at the stated speeds! The increased write speeds truly make a difference in all functions! I was not sure of the benefits of faster write speeds, but once I started checking websites and DOWNLOADING games, playing games and video editing - I THEN noticed the benefits! Downloads now write as fast or faster than the internet bandwidth. Games like GTA V (or anything, truth be told) have full draw, INCREASED detail, coloring, speed, frames/smoothness and overall performance! It is clear-cut with this drive! There is ZERO performance hits that I noticed with this - only performance increases and a CONSISTENT performance throughout all testing! Photoshop loads a lot quicker. Vegas Pro loads quicker. Even GTA V loads quicker! I am running a 32" at 1440P. I am glad that when I was picking up the Samsung (before I placed this order!), I returned it right then and there, as I saved about $55 and GAINED a whole lot in performance. SK said that they would revise their website and provide a toolbox (they should have had one before launch - for such a large company), but I am HAPPY that I made this purchase and I trusted this brand because they actually design, MANUFACTURE and SUPPLY the memory to other brands, so of course they know what they are doing more than the other brands! I give this the same praise as the pro reviewers do! The performance and the price make this a no contest for other brands! You get the performance (or better) of other brands TOP (most expensive) drives or better - for only $135! Again, SK Hynix MAKES the memory, so that is why they can bring such high quality for so low! If you do not know companies that are involved with the sources of PC components - just trust us and get this! ... show more
