 Yes - the PCB could have been colored black - or yellow instead of old school green, but I am not able to see it once installed anyway, so it does not matter much to me.  I tried finding info on it such as TRIM, drivers or encryption, but it DOES have all wear leveling features but no encryption. I did not mind the absence of encryption since my Teamgroup (which beat my old 860 Samsung by a lot) SSD did not have encryption or it's own drivers or firmware updates. Once this was installed - it blew away the Teamgroup, the old Samsung and it made my already speedy PC feel like a new PC!  The Samsung that I had always tested below the advertised speed

 Even GTA V loads quicker! I am running a 32" at 1440P.  I am glad that when I was picking up the Samsung (before I placed this order!), I returned it right then and there, as I saved about $55 and GAINED a whole lot in performance. SK said that they would revise their website and provide a toolbox (they should have had one before launch - for such a large company), but I am HAPPY that I made this purchase and I trusted this brand because they actually design, MANUFACTURE and SUPPLY the memory to other brands, so of course they know what they are doing more than the other brands!  I give this the same praise as the pro reviewers do! The performance and the price make this a no contest for other brands! You get the performance (or better) of other brands TOP (most expensive) drives or better - for only $135! Again, SK Hynix MAKES the memory, so that is why they can bring such high quality for so low! If you do not know companies that are involved with the sources of PC components - just trust us and get this!

 The Teamgroup drive tested 3110 read and 2008 write when the specs called for 3300 and 2500. The SK tested (using Samsung Magician) 3440 read and 3241 write! This is the first drive I had that got just about at the stated speeds! The increased write speeds truly make a difference in all functions! I was not sure of the benefits of faster write speeds, but once I started checking websites and DOWNLOADING games, playing games and video editing - I THEN noticed the benefits! Downloads now write as fast or faster than the internet bandwidth.  Games like GTA V (or anything, truth be told) have full draw, INCREASED detail, coloring, speed, frames/smoothness and overall performance! It is clear-cut with this drive! There is ZERO performance hits that I noticed with this - only performance increases and a CONSISTENT performance throughout all testing! Photoshop loads a lot quicker. Vegas Pro loads quicker

.) - until I decided to do one last search before I sealed the deal!  The Samsung would have cost me $195 after taxes, but I looked and I kept seeing reviews on this drive and I remember that SK Hynix did have drives, but they were not listed on 'other' sites that I was thinking about buying from. EVERY review rates this drives as near perfect and the fastest PCIE 3.0 drive on most levels - especially write speed, and it is second to NONE in power efficiency and low power use! The only negatives are the PCB color (for some) and some small read drop off when compared to some, but it is still near the top

 I did not mind the absence of encryption since my Teamgroup (which beat my old 860 Samsung by a lot) SSD did not have encryption or it's own drivers or firmware updates. Once this was installed - it blew away the Teamgroup, the old Samsung and it made my already speedy PC feel like a new PC!  The Samsung that I had always tested below the advertised speed.

Simple Questions - January 30, 2022

 The system tested, took 12 seconds to boot Windows 10 counting from the time I pressed the power button. I have tested several SSDs, and that is the fastest the system will boot. I have noticed that any drive with read speeds of 1800 MB/s or better will accomplish the task.  The SK hynix P31 500GB surpassed the advertised write speeds of 3100 MB/s reaching 3183

  I dropped a star since the software available was pretty much useless and many similar drives provide hardware encryption.  SK hynix P31 is a fast SSD and a good price point and fares even better if you could get one when discounted. If you do not need that much speed (most of us don't), you could get a less expensive SSD with even more capacity.

 I have noticed that any drive with read speeds of 1800 MB/s or better will accomplish the task.  The SK hynix P31 500GB surpassed the advertised write speeds of 3100 MB/s reaching 3183.53 MB/s. It felt short on advertised read speed of 3500 MB/s reaching just 3440

91 MB/s.  On real word test it managed to reach 2787 MB/s write speed and 2209 MB/s read speed. I transferred 70 GB of mixed data from another SSD with 3500 MB/s read speed. If you don't write that much data , filing up the SSD SLC cache, then the P31 will run a lot faster

High write performance, top endurance rating and runs cool.

 These days I operate my own photographic and design studio and have an HP graphics workstation that is substantially more sophisticated than most typical PC’s. My language is performance, not benchmark tests under ideal conditions or what manufacturers put on their spec sheets. The company who makes workstations like mine has installed Hynix memory for a very long time in their products, it’s what I buy when I upgrade memory. Due to the heavy use my systems get I was shopping for 1TB SSD’s and did a lot of research

 When I plugged my new Hynix into the slot and powered up my computer it was absolutely flawless, every app, every file, every preference, ever login, they were all exactly when they used to be only now I had a much larger, faster and brand-new main drive.

 The support docs are free and helpful no matter what your skill level is. This is especially true if you are doing a data migration from your boot drive to a new SSD, the risk of some data not transferring or being corrupted is too great, which is also a definite mandatory to back up everything you own before even diving in.  YES OR NO  This brings me to the bottom line a lot faster than I usually get there when evaluating a product. I’ll tell you why I chose this one and from there you’re on your own

  YES OR NO  This brings me to the bottom line a lot faster than I usually get there when evaluating a product. I’ll tell you why I chose this one and from there you’re on your own. I put about ten percent of my choice on it being the right form factor and configuration to fit and work in my system and a full ninety percent on trusting this brand to give me the best performance in its price range. As a side note, if you are closer to the novice level you shouldn’t have to worry about cloning your system boot drive over to this as your new one - the app they include (while not being the most sophisticated ever made) is excellent

Why I chose this one

Don't buy this for a PS5. It doesn't meet the minimum requirements. It may work well in a PC or laptop. The search engine for Amazon needs a lot of work

Not for PS5

Installed this 2TB as system drive in a Dell G7 17 laptop, replacing the original Hynix PC611 1TB NVMe, to get some more storage space (a WD SN550 2TB is already installed in the second M.2 slot). This 2TB runs a bit faster than the old 1TB Hynix but it also runs hotter. The old Hynix would idle at around 30C but the new 2TB idles around 40C

 Has the same original heat shield/heat sink installed. But even the other WD 2TB with a heat shield heats up to about 59C with just a sustained read, so I'm not too concerned about the rise in temperature as I'm not playing games much, apart from Microsoft Flight Simulator now and again. It was an easy install as I used the Hynix System Migration Utility software (free download from their site) and it copied over the C & D partitions without a hitch. What did happen unfortunately was that after the clone install, the second NVMe (WD) suddenly had Bitlocker applied and I needed to get into Microsoft account to retrieve the 48 digit key to unlock it every time I rebooted! What a pain, and very strange as I have Windows 11 Home version which doesn't support Bitlocker! Took a bit of research but eventually got it removed

Early days, but it looks like the drive is very good, so recommended if you can still source one.

Fast in a Dell G7.

" "A driver is installed that causes stability problems on this version of Windows and it will be disabled. Check..

 But for mine, this is now a $100+ paperweight.  ------  Here's the thing; this drive is fast. It's lightning fast I was absolutely delighted upon installing it. Except for one MASSIVE un-fixable problem

 which I've been attacking since March 2021. That problem completely prevents me from updating past an old & *no longer supported* version of Windows10 to the May 2019 update (Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903)).  This is obviously not great for security reasons, but was at first workable. As more time goes on, however, this is becoming a seriously limiting problem for more and more software requires at least Win10 version 1903and this dang thing CANNOT ALLOW MY COMPUTER TO RUN IT

 There's no way to change this, and it prevents updating to Win10 version 1903+. If you have an AMD machine already, maybe you'll have no trouble. But for mine, this is now a $100+ paperweight.  ------  Here's the thing; this drive is fast

Intel&#039;s Core i7-9700K is a proficient mainstream CPU for gaming enthusiasts, but AMD&#039;s Ryzen 7 3700X offers better value and better performance on many computing tasks.

Since it ships unlocked from the factory, you can overclock the Core i7-9700K to eke out even more performance than Intel intends. This voids the warranty, so don't try it unless you know what you're doing and you're running software that can actually benefit from higher clock speeds.

 At 4K resolution, the GPU's capabilities are far more important, which is why most of the 4K results in our chart are within a few frames per second of one another. This is more of an issue at 1080p if you're running a high-refresh-rate monitor, where the difference between 100fps and 150fps actually might show up on your screen.

The Ryzen 7 3700X and Core i7-9700K also performed roughly the same in our 7-Zip folder-compression test...

Intel Core i7-9700K Review

 And then we have the 97. Okay, and that's meant to sell for well in thousand La quantities, three hundred and seventy four dollars us. It should be around that price and we're currently seeing it a fair bit over that at 420. US

 our looking into several performance a bit more closely. It also consumes a bit more power than 87 or okay, and for the most part really only offered a minor performance bump. So I'd like in this comparison to what we saw earlier in the week with the RT X 2070 and GT X 1080 in the sense that the newer product is mostly faster by a very small margin, but it also costs a little bit more. And as I said, unfortunately, whereas the RT X 27, he used less power than the GTX 1080, we're not seeing that with the 9700 K it isn't more fuel efficient than the 8700

 That was just 10% faster. 41% low result. Again, we are using an RT X Xx Atti, and we see when moving to the more appropriate or realistic 1440p resolution that the margins start to really shrink. Here, we see that the new 8 core models offer basically no performance advantage over the 87 RK

 Again, we are using an RT X Xx Atti, and we see when moving to the more appropriate or realistic 1440p resolution that the margins start to really shrink. Here, we see that the new 8 core models offer basically no performance advantage over the 87 RK. That said, the performance advantage over Verizon was still reasonably significant, and it's not until we hit the 4k resolution of the margin is almost entirely eliminated. Still, this isn't a good title for Eisen, so let's move on to Star Wars Battlefront 2

Intel Core i9 9900K & i7 9700K Review, Scorching Fast Performance!

Five years ago, an eight-core Cpu from Intel would easily run you over a thousand dollars, and even though the performance was pretty kick-ass the price was a brutal pill to swallow, effectively pricing it into the workstation market and leaving us plebs on consumer platforms to scrap over the quad core chips instead. However, after arguably too long and a kick in the balls from Amd, we now have gaming focused consumer chips sporting eight physical cores, with the now Sub 300 I7 9700k being one of the two consumer socket excuse to be released going on. Geez, Two and a half years ago, However, how does this chip hold up in 2021 and are eight physical cores enough to tackle 4k content creation? All right. So in this video, we'll be taking a look at the Intel Core I7 9700k, a follow-up to the immensely popular I7 8700k, which brought forth the first spec bump to the consumer I7 line in history

 for our I5, it took roughly 338 longer to render the 4k master over the 1080p one, while the 9700k was able to get that down to just around 250. Even my render chip, a Ryzen 5 1600 Af, rendered literally a percent or two faster than the I5. So even here, the I7 reigns superior to the Roth, the reds on offer from Amd. Rather than a quadrupling of processing times, we're now only looking at roughly tripling times, giving us an idea as to how the I7 performs in a media production workflow

 Geez, Two and a half years ago, However, how does this chip hold up in 2021 and are eight physical cores enough to tackle 4k content creation? All right. So in this video, we'll be taking a look at the Intel Core I7 9700k, a follow-up to the immensely popular I7 8700k, which brought forth the first spec bump to the consumer I7 line in history. While yes, 6 and 8 core I7s had existed in the years prior, they were locked behind larger and more expensive sockets. Hell, even the first generation of I7s were locked onto enthusiast Lga 1366
