SK hynix Platinum P41 500GB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 Internal Gaming SSD, Up to 7,000MB/S, Compact M.2 SSD Form Factor SSD - Internal Solid State Drive with 176-Layer NAND Flash

good

Read reviews before deciding on this brand. It ranks one of the highest performance when it comes to gaming! However, the temperature can get quite high. I've added a low profile aluminum heatsink but the temperature is still around 46C at idle. My advice is to get an aftermarket heatsink to cool the drive down for anyone who is bothered by the temperature.

Good product.The only downside is the screw/parts are not included with the package.

It's been almost 12 years since I built a PC so a lot has changed. It's my first time using an M.2 SSD but this was VERY easy to install (I'd expect this is motherboard dependant). I got 2 Hynix sticks, one was a 1TB and one was a 2TB. They look the same in size etc and just slot straight in then secured. The sticks feel really well made and good quality but my research made me choose these over the Samsung 990s as it was better value for money. They were compatible with my build and I'd recommend PC Parts Picker to be sure before you buy. One thing to note is Hynix did release a firmware update as some users had reported issues with speed. It's very easy to apply just download the Hynix software and update and install onto your SSDs. The read write speeds are really fast with games loading within a minute from launch to getting into game, some as fast as 30-seconds depending on skippable cutscenes. I'm very impressed with the performance and despite my first time using Hynix, I'd highly recommend them!

Sin duda es un componente fundamental que no puedes omitir en la consideración al armar una PC, es demasiado rápido y duradero que sin duda sentirás una gran mejora en el funcionamiento de la PC
