Still waiting to replace my 1TB NVMe SSD I bought four years ago for $69. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron stop colluding to milk the consumer at 1-2TB kkthx. We are ready to be cheated at 8-128TB.

Digitimes: Samsung new NAND flash capacity coming online in 2H21 may worsen price falls.

Everyone has been brainwashed to eat these high prices because xyz reasons. It's easier and cheaper to print ssd NAND memory than make a hard drive yet you don't see those staying stationary at 1-2TB for the past 4 years. This is what collusion looks like.

Bought in October. It was $129.99 and had a $26 coupon. Nice drive and was faster than the 256GB Intel my X380 had. Double checked my order. It was the SK hynix Gold P31 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 2280 Internal SSD

Do you really believe copy and pasting this exact message in every SSD thread on SD will have *any* effect on how manufacturers price their products? Who are you appealing to?

How does this compare with the Sabrent Gen 4? https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/15584662

In this price range I would rather get a PCIe Gen 4 one now.

I only have good things to say about SKHynix. I work in local government and our tech staff are certified Dell technicians. They recently had to replace a failed HDD in one of our Dell laptops, and Dell sent us a SKHynix SSD as a replacement. Made me feel validated in my personal SKHynix SSD purchases

For laptops the lower heat and power usage is more noticeable than the speed difference. I upgraded from an SN750 in gen 3 slot to SN850 and gen 4 slot and can't really tell the difference. Both seemed super fast.

I have had this NVME for over a year in my other computer. It didn't have an available m.2 NVME slot so I added a PCI-e adapter card. So far its been solid, no complaints.

Fast, slim and doesn't need a heatsink since it runs so cool.

A definite with a laptop, pretty good still in a desktop. I put the exact same drive in my desktop last year. Fast, cheap and cool. Whats not to like?

This draws less power than the Rocket.

True. I actually bought this exact drive almost a year ago for this very reason (a laptop with small battery).

Quick search shows that this drive was posted 4 times in November, the lowest of which was $104, which I believe was the lowest ever. I know that this is SD and all, but I'd say that $6 more than the best historic price is a more than a "decent" price. Thanks OP I'm in for one.

I bought this exact ssd during BF last year and it's a great value compared to Samsung. There's been a lot of ssd discounts lately this month, Sabarent 1 TB was $80 which would be a better deal if you were on a budget. And for all the PS5 gamers, no this card is not compatible, get a gen 4 ssd with a heat sink.

Looks like Sabrent has much better endurance (1800 vs 750 TBW for 1 TB). Performance seems to be split:

Sabrent the better value?

P31 is gen3. The link you linked is gen4. Not many people have gen4 slot yet. Also Samsung gen4 is much better.

P31 is gen 4. Go and compare with Gen 4 drives.

If anyone is thinking about it, this is a fantastic drive. I got the 1 tb version when it was 104ish, it's very fast and best of all my laptop battery life is still very good with it. With i7-8750h, 1060 max Q, and 16 GB RAM I load into gta V in about 1 min 20 seconds compared to 4-6 minutes on my prior 1 tb 5400 rpm hdd. General daily tasks feel more responsive.

P31 is the best gen3 nvme. This is even better than Samsung.

Due to their speed and efficiency, these are among the best NVMe drives on the market, especially for laptops, but it's worth noting that SK Hynix finally announced the PCI-E Gen4 successor to this, the Platinum P41, at CES this year. Not sure when it will be available but if you've been holding out for an NVMe drive for your system with a Gen4 NVMe slot (or may migrate your next drive to a Gen4\5 system later) and don't desperately need one right now, the P41 will likely be the drive to get unless SK Hynix can't pull it off a second time.

In real-world usage the performance of most drives will be basically the same, but with the P31's large efficiency lead it's pretty enticing to think we might be able to get that kind of efficiency while also getting that huge Gen4 throughput boost... you know, just in case Direct Storage ever actually makes use of it.

P41 will beat all of Gen4 NVME. It will be released before April or April.
