Product overview

Released May 19, 2022, the SK hynix Platinum P41 1TB is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 drive in SK hynix’s consumer Platinum line, built around the in‑house Aries controller and 176‑layer TLC NAND. It’s rated for up to 7,000 MB/s reads, 6,500 MB/s writes, and 750 TBW, and uses onboard LPDDR4 DRAM.

Positioned as a high_end Gen4 SSD, it exists to deliver near‑flagship speeds without Gen5 heat or price. It’s an excellent fast boot drive, game library, and 4K video‑editing scratch disk; it also suits PS5 expansion when paired with a proper heatsink. Notably, controller, NAND, and DRAM all come from SK hynix’s own stack.
