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?

I've had several p31 that's lasted 2-3 years and they keep going 🤔 just like with anything any SSD including good ones can did randomly too

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.
You don't have enough money right? Why don't you get a job? Why some people buy Lambo instead of your $800 used car?

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

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.
Top 3 Gen4 NVME in the market for now.
Samsung 990 Pro, SK Hynix P41, Samsung 980 Pro. They are ranking 1st, 2nd and 3rd against all of Gen 4 NVME in the market.

NVME is a type of SSD, no?
Actual name of NVMe is NVMe SSD. NVMe SSD is based on PCIe. The SSD which is based on PCIe we call it as NVMe(SSD). Actually, NVMe(Non-Volatile Memory Express) is not SSD but NVMe communications interface and driver.

These things are suppose to last a long time, compared to disk drives. Unless it was overheating or something

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)

https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...ssd-review [tomshardware.com]
I'd personally actually take the SN850x instead. The p41 might be slightly more efficient, but the SN850x (and kingston kc3000/fury) seem to do better with consistency on sustained writes.

See this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware...slowdowns/

There's also a followup thread somewhere I need to dig up that showed pretty much the same results validated except the KC3000 improved with some slightly different testing.

Sorry to hear that. I got the same M.2 1TB P31 for $87 after tax in Dec 2022 and no issues so far. Crazy to see how far prices have dropped.

I have written a simple program to test the sustained write on P41 and SN850X early this year and SN850X has much better sustained write speed. P41's SLC cache is quite small comparing to that of SN850X. I have read that Seagate 530 has great sustained writes and the test result shows some supporting test data about it.
