SK hynix Gold P31 SSD 2TB, M.2 2280 / M-Key / PCIe 3.0 x4

Geht es dir um eine möglichst sparsame NVME SSD, dann wäre die SK hynix Gold P31 meine erste Wahl! Ich habe mir die SSD auch für mein Notebook gekauft und nutze diese entsprechend auch.

With the P31, Hynix has entered the enthusiast SSD space with a truly impressive drive that unfortunately was only available in a 512 GB and 1 TB variant until now. Enthusiasts demanded more storage, Hynix listened, and we're reviewing the 2 TB Hynix Gold P31 today. Under the hood, the P31 uses only in-house components—everything is manufactured by Hynix. Previously, only Samsung had this ability, which not only helped with engineering a good product, but is also more cost efficient. I don't know if Hynix plans to sell their controller to third parties or whether they will keep it in-house only. Selling the controller would definitely shake up things in the SSD space, which is currently dominated by Silicon Motion and Phison.

Not everyone needs the latest and greatest Gen4 SSD for their rigs. Mainstream users are plenty happy with any SSD in their system for most use cases. That said, it’s important to buy quality, whenever possible, so your workflow is less likely to be disrupted with a failed drive. The P31 gold 2TB SSD is a vertically integrated solution, which means SK hynix owns the entire thing. This typically leads to drives that are well-supported for a long time.
