The SK hynix Platinum P41 SSD is an M.2 2280 single-sided solid-state drive that comes in 2TB, 1TB, and 500GB capacities. It utilizes SK hynix 176L 3D TLC NAND flash technology and has a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface with up to 4 lanes.
The sequential performance of the Platinum P41 SSD is impressive, with read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and write speeds of up to 6,500 MB/s for the 2TB and 1TB models. The 500GB model has slightly slower write speeds at 4,700 MB/s. The random performance of the drive is also very good, with read speeds of up to 1,400K IOPS and write speeds of up to 1,300K IOPS for the 2TB and 1TB models. The 500GB model has slightly slower read speeds at 960K IOPS.
The Platinum P41 SSD supports TRIM, AES 256-bit encryption, TCG Pyrite, S.M.A.R.T, garbage collection, device sleep mode, and up to 256 queues with up to 1,024 queue depth for each queue. It has a temperature range of 0℃ to 70℃ and features a temperature sensor. The TBW (total bytes written) for the drive is up to 1,200 TBW for the 2TB model, 750 TBW for the 1TB model, and 500 TBW for the 500GB model. The drive has an MTBF (mean time between failures) of 1.5 million hours and a BER (bit error rate) of 1 error in 1015 bits transferred.
The Platinum P41 is an essential SSD for gaming in 2023, as it boasts read and write speeds that are quick enough to support even the most demanding of games, such as the critically-acclaimed, recently-released title 'Hogwarts Legacy.'
