Hynix 2TB Platinum P41 NVMe Gen4 2280 SSD is back at a mouth-watering price [Update]

If you are in the market for an SSD, especially an M.2 2280 NVMe drive, then take a look at the Platinum P41 from SK hynix, which is currently back to its lowest price in the last six or so months (purchase link down below).

This is a Gen4 SSD that promises sequential reads and writes of up to 7000MB/s and 6500MB/s, respectively. Meanwhile, the sequential read and write speeds are rated at up to 1400K IOPS and 1300K IOPS, respectively. The 2TB variant of the P41 features a 2GB DDR4 DRAM cache as well, which is meant to improve write caching and random access times with quicker metadata look-ups.

Hynix says that the drive can operate at temperatures of up to 70 °C and thus you should opt for a heatsink if you intend to do data transfers for longer periods at a time. That should not be a problem, as the P41 Platinum is based on 176-layer TLC NAND and has a rated endurance of up to 1200 TBW (terabytes written) for 2TB.

Make sure to update the firmware for the Platinum P41, as it fixes a throttling issue wherein the SSD would drop speeds after being used for several months (via Lower-Tone-3503 on Reddit). SSD firmware updates can often resolve critical problems, like in the case of WD/SanDisk SSDs, for example, which are still blocking Windows 11 24H2 due to inappropriate firmware.
