SK hynix Gold P31
NVME · 2TB · Released August 17, 2021 · $280.00 MSRP
Where the Platinum P41 chases peak throughput, the Gold P31 sits a generation back on PCIe 3.0, capping sequential read at 3,500 MB/s — plenty for mainstream desktops but well short of the PCIe 4.0 drives in this catalog. It still carries a DRAM cache and the SK hynix Cepheus controller, delivering 570,000/600,000 random IOPS at a $280 MSRP that undercuts the Platinum P41's launch price. SK hynix marketed this drive around low power draw, making it a fit for laptop upgrades and thin-and-light builds as much as desktops.
