This is the NVMe to buy for notebooks and external enclosures. Low power consumption and runs cooler than most all other drives available.

Great NVME drive at a great price, but when is that Platinum PCIe Gen 4 coming out? Gen 5 will be around the corner before we know it…

And not by a small margin either. The power efficiency and cool temps are far and away better than most other drives. The price just hasn't come down along with the others.

Still, for a mobile device or any small/tiny form factor uses, I haven't seen a cooler, lower power nvme so far, but admittedly I haven't looked in a few months.

No heat sink needed. Had one in my last build, and except for doing something like a malwarebytes scan, the drive never got very warm. Still remained well within tolerances witout a heatsink @100% sustained usage.

Has anyone seen an ultra low power demand, low therms nvme other than this one?

Looks like the 2TB version just dropped to 198. Might snatch that up for my dev laptop.

Amazon dropped the prices of SK Hynix Gold P31 SSD to $92.58 and 198.99, free s&h, respectively. This may not be most current PCIe Gen 4.0 but still excellent durable high performance SSD with the added benefit of being one of the lowest power consuming SSD available, making it ideal for laptops.

As always, another 5% discount available for using Amazon Prime CC.

How is the 2tb version? heat and power usage? I'm planning on putting it in a gaming laptop, HP Omen.

Be aware that during power loss these nvme may experience data loss.

That said, just ordered one for my laptop. Very unlikely I'll ever have a power loss on a laptop.

i bought one of these to use in my Macbook pro 2015. After buying the connector adapter and making sure the firmware in the macbook and the ssd were up to date, it works perfectly.

This is the drive I picked up when building a new system after researching m2 drives with no prior knowledge of them. It's high performance budget on top of the low power consumption perk. Benchmarks puts it around leading the middle of the pack after looking at different types of tests and not just the speed in the item description.

Probably still overkill for an everyday plus gaming PC if you don't specifically need the fastest read/write speeds (trading off some speed for capacity is certainly worth considering...or just saving ~$20).

Hmm, looking at today's pricing...might spend less (500GB) or more (1TB) for the WD SN770 compared to the P31 for desktop if you have Gen4 PCIe.

A+++ SSd. Put one in my desktop and then put one in my Laptop(Lenovo Legion 5 pro). Scores at the top of the benchmarks and stays pretty cool. Didn't use a wrap or heatsink in my lappy and it stays cooler than the stock one did.

It's definitely a good buy for desktop as a boot up drive and non gaming. I built my current desktop with it and boots up fast! I bought a 2gb SSD for gaming purpose.
