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?

I bought the 1TB P31 version back in 2021 and it is now dead. This popping up must be a sign. I do hope it's more reliable!

How much better this than the WD SN-850? Got the 850 for $60 in past deal. Need an extra SSD but not in hurry.

that sucks. I have the same drive going strong but yours should be covered under warranty.

outside of a few special use cases or if you're going to compare the benchmarks most people won't notice the difference. It's your pc booting in 10 seconds instead of 12. LTT staff couldn't even tell the difference between an ssd and nvme in a blind test.

NVME is a type of SSD, no?

m.2 is the form factor, you can get an ssd or nvme in m.2. they look the same but some m.2 support nvme, some support ssd and some are both

It's a pity. Mine from 2020 works well.

Oh boy another overpriced SSD in a down market. Come on SK Hynix you can do better. The Teamgroup 1TB is $30 a performance SSD like this should be a couple bucks more not over 2X the cost. Just like Samsung loves to rip people off.
Aren't Samsung and SK Hynix better than Teamgroup? I thought Samsung, SK Hynix (Intel), Micron, etc are top tier manufacturers so that makes 2x price difference.

When it comes to reliability, I rather spend a few more dollars to buy them. But, I totally agree that they can do better with a lower price, especially the Samsung Evo series or SK Hynix P31 series.

Check out the review of the P41 from tomshardware, you can see how it measures up against the original SN850. (Long story short, its better in just about every way, but no you won't be able to tell the difference realistically)

Have you tried to RMA it under warranty? Warranties for hard drives typically last 5-10 years
