News SK Hynix Releases New PCIe 4.0 SSD With Record-Breaking Performance

[Admin]

SK Hynix has released its new Platinum P41 SSD, which is its first consumer-based drive to use its latest 176-layer flash. This has allowed the SSD to produce some astonishingly fast random read and write speeds, well over 1 million IOPS.

For reference, the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB is $269.99 at Amazon. It will be interesting to see how this drive stacks up against it in reviews.

I say this as someone who is in the market to replace 2 smaller Samsung 960 Pros with a single 2TB 980 Pro.

Why are current generation SSDs so low on endurance vs the last gen. For example 750 TBW Vs 1400 or more in msi spatium 470

Exiting for datacentres running high concurrent usage DBs (who would likely not be seen dead running one of these drives and are instead lapping up every Optane die they can get), but what does its IOPS performance look like at the QD1 queue depths seen with desktop workloads?

The more bits stored per cell the higher chance of error. The intrinsic problem moving from TLC to QLC is actually worse than the numbers suggest, but is improved by better error correction techniques.

Both drives are TLC. I am currently not interested in QLC drives. I would only consider a QLC drive if it is 10c/GB or less for a drive with DRAM.
