Hynix P41 2TB Gen4 NVMe 2280 SSD is priced just $115 by Sayan Sen If you are SSD shopping, especially an M.2 2280 NVMe drive, then will certainly want to have 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).
The Platinum P41 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, which is the discounted one, features a 2GB DDR4 DRAM cache as well and is meant to improve write caching and random access times, thanks to 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.
