While SK hynix doesn’t offer a detailed breakdown of its specifications, we do know that it implements a multi-core CPU setup. SK hynix Platinum P41 SSD SpecificationsĪt the heart of this newest SSD is SK hynix’s in-house controller, Aries, the company’s first PCIe 4.0 controller. It’s a bit more than a speedier, PCIe 4.0 version of the venerable P31, but not by too much more. And yet there’s also an element of “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” to the design of the P41 with respect to its construction and feature set, which is not a bad thing coming from the P31. By employing an updated controller (Aries) and their latest-generation 176-layer TLC NAND, SK hynix is aiming to duplicate their early success with an even faster NVMe drive. Taking things from the top, the Platinum P41 SSD is the direct follow-up to the P31. And now SK hynix gets to try to improve on that for the PCIe 4 generation with the Platinum P41. With solid performance and amazing power efficiency, the P31 made for a very popular PCIe 3 SSD, especially for aftermarket laptop upgrades. But in a single generation and with just a single product, SK hynix was able to carve out a place in the market based on the strength of their initial P31 drives. The company only kicked off their (contemporary) retail SSD efforts back in August of 2020, with the Gold P31 series. While SK hynix has been well-established name in the NAND and OEM SSD markets for years, their presence in the consumer retail market is much more recent. Though with prices topping out at $260 for the 2TB model, it would seem that SK hynix has even greater ambition than before, placing the P41 squarely in the high-end segment of the SSD market.
The successor to the popular Gold P31, the P41 incorporates the latest controller and NAND technology from SK hynix, upgrading their flagship SSD lineup with PCIe 4.0 connectivity and the performance to match. First introduced back at CES 2022, this morning SK hynix is finally kicking off sales of their new retail consumer SSD, the Platinum P41.
