Interesting Review. I have an SK Hynix Gold P31 NVME drive in my Aspire 5 laptop. I am really pleased with it. It is quite a bit smoother and quicker than the OEM drive. Which makes me want to consider this SK Hynix beetle. 'Think I will pick one up, first chance I get. Cheers!

Good one mate. Being using SK Hynix drives for years. The best (IMHO) in terms of reliability & performance. Most people have them in upper end laptops - the choice for many leading mfg's. 👍👍👍

When I had to choose a NVME SSD for my proxmox home lab, I went for Sk Hynix for their high TBW ratings and low power consumption.

I notice that the SK Hynix Gold P31 uses quite a bit LESS power than similar Samsung drives. So I don't worry about it getting too hot inside my laptop. And the drive is much smoother and quicker than the original drive. (Even though it is "only Gen 3.")
