1TB SK hynix Platinum P41 PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 SSD Expired

You're saying ssd but you mean SATA.

I've been saying similar things for years after comparing it myself. People actually can't tell the difference between SATA and PCIe SSDs, as boot times are more related to what you have running at start up than the SSD itself. Clean your start up programs, speed up the boot. copying (not moving) files from one folder to another is the only thing where the SATA drive is slower.

There's no way most people can tell a Gen 3 from a Gen 4 SSD either. I have 2TB versions of P-31, SN850x, and 980 Pro and it's like, "yeah, whatever" for me.. They're all similarly fast in daily, average use.

Are you talking about DRAMless NVME drives with crazy slow write speeds once the SLC cache is full?

The TeamGroup MP33 is like 185MB/s (and is sporadic at that speed) once the SLC cache fills.

In comparison the P41 has full DRAM, has a native write speeds of like 1450MB/s once the SLC cache fills. (those speeds are also rock solid, unlike the teamgroup)

To put it bluntly, the MP33 would take 15mins to write 301GB of data, the P41 would write 343GB in 2 MINS! For me personally this is a huge bonus as I value my time more than the small difference in money.

Based on performance it suggests that the P41 is an EXCELLENT value, 10x the performance for only 2x the price? Worth it all day every day to me and probably anyone else that would ever want to transfer large files to the SSD.

is the TeamGroup drive better than a HDD, yes, is it an outstanding value compared to performance drive? IMHO no.

For the record I am definitely not an SKHynix fanboy, in fact my 3 laptops and 2 desktops have nothing but Samsung 970Pro or 980Pro drives exclusively, I guess I'm a Samsung fanboy?
