Come August 17, SK hynix’s best-selling “Gold P31” line of Solid State Drives (SSDs) will be complemented with a 2TB capacity version.
Gold P31, SK hynix’s PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, has garnered consistent praise from professional tech reviewers for its unique performance and power efficiency benefits. The drive released last year in 1TB and 500GB capacities, and is now adding a 2TB option for users of high-capacity storage including gamers and content creators. The 2TB version will be marked with a sleek, black-color PCB (Printed Circuit Board) instead of the usual green.
The 2TB Gold P31 will offer 3,500MB/s in sequential reads and 3,200MB/s in sequential writes, the highest from a PCIe Gen3 drive, as well as an industry-leading endurance rating of 1,200 TBW (for 2TB capacity; Terabytes Written: total amount of data an SSD can write in its lifetime), thus providing performance, capacity, power efficiency, and reliability all around. With read speeds of 172.2MB/s per watt of power, the Gold P31 is indeed 434% more efficient than comparable products (for 1TB capacity; Tallis, Billy. “The Best NVMe SSD for Laptops and Notebooks: SK hynix Gold P31 1TB SSD Reviewed.” AnandTech.
