It's Finally Here! - SK hynix P41 Platinum Review

Hey all. Hope you enjoy the video! Just FYI in case you missed it: I did include the SK hynix P31 Gold data in the graphs if you were interested in that one. Also since many of you kept asking, the Firecuda 530 data is included again as well!

Keep pumping out these awesome reviews!!

Thank you for showing the test results and providing your analysis, it's much appreciated. You're doing great work!

Been waiting for you to test this drive as well! Thank you and nice job with all your testing videos!

Sooooo glad that I found this channel. Thank you for the time in! Love The Format!

Thank you so much for your ssd videos!! They're the best I've seen. I've learned so much over the past year thanks to you and currently I'm waiting for a T500 4TB version to finally splurge my money on.

Not even in the market for an NVME drive, but I always check out Nada's SSD reviews. Top tier. Always informative, with great recommendations for potential buyers!

As usual greatly appreciate your thorough approach of actually talking about all aspects instead of just performance. Glad to see better availability... Now if we can get some Solidigm over there! I've been pretty disappointed in all of the reviews of their drives I've seen so far as nobody seems to have tested with and without their software. The former Intel SSD team was kept together and they've written custom software/driver which only works on the P44 Pro, P41 Plus and Intel 670. The P44 Pro is hardware identical to the Platinum P41, but with different firmware so the software doesn't work on the SK Hynix drive. I have 4 of the P44 Pro drives waiting for my next build, and gave a friend one for their PS5, so I'm not in the market but it sure seems like it would be good to get a look at the software to see if there are any meaningful differences. It's good to see that the SK Hynix Platinum P41 is definitely the best of the earlier PCIe 4.0 drives as the Crucial T500 just came out and Samsung 990 Pro was their second go. I've got one of the 2TB models sitting in the server box I put together earlier this year and have been really pleased with it.

I have this as my system drive and have a few months experience with it. It is phenomenally fast in all conditions and does indeed work well with basic MB cooling. Highly recommended 👍

Glad you got to SK hynix, I kinda figured it was a supply issue. Great review, thanks Nada!

I'll be getting be getting the T500 and SK for my ZBook 17 G7. Thanks and I always value your input before buying! 👍🏿🤓👍🏿

keep up the good work Nada 🤩

i'm pretty sure this drive released before the t500 & the 990 pro. was possibly the best gen4 drive on the market on release. the refresh of this drive is the solidigm p44 pro. after sk hynix acquired intel's nand division, they rebranded the new conglomerate as "solidigm." p44 pro was a marginal upgrade over the p41 plat on release, but since then solidigm have released a software package that they say optimizes performance in some workloads. i haven't personally gotten to test their claims yet, but it's another interesting gen4 drive at least. "sk hynix + intel nand division = solidigm" might be worth keeping an eye on, imo. thanks as always for the fantastic work!

Thank you so much for adding seagate firecuda 530 in the list on request 🙏🙏

Hi Nada. Looking good, as usual. I can't say that about this NVme.

Enjoy all of your SSD coverage

It's less known brand in SSD market and yet this is the main reason why is this ssd so good and has stable speeds. I hope this company will continue to develop its solid-state drives and perhaps begin to produce its own branded RAM, and why not, after all, having more than 20 years of experience in the field of production semiconductor devices, they have all the necessary cards in their hands, and as practive has shown they know what they are doing.

oh wow I just bought this SSD and this video appears out of nowhere XD, I'm glad the first impressions are positive.

Thank you for posting this excellent review. Hynix products are reliable. I am interested to see how strong a performer this one is in the testing. I agree with your conclusions about this product. I also agree that price, together with perceived quality, is often what dictates the choice of SSD.

Thanks, I had been waiting for your review of the SK hynix P41 to see where it fell in your list of tests and tested SSD's. SK hynix seems to supply OEM storage for at least some Dell products. Their PC801 OEM series and Solidigm P44 pro have similar specifications to the P41 Platinum so I wonder if the performance is comparable as well? Thanks again for sharing your technical expertise with us.
