First time posting a deal so please be kind. ^_^

I have been eyeing this SSD for a few weeks now as I am in the midst of building my PC. It has been consistent with the $232.99 price for some time, but today, a $34 off coupon appeared, bringing this SSD down to $198.99! Just apply the coupon the on the Amazon page itself for the discount.

There is no mention as to when the coupon will expire, other than saying 'coupon is valid while stocks last'. Note that the coupon is only valid for the 2TB Platinum SSD, and not the 500Gb or 1Tb capacities.

If you have been eyeing for a SSD with DRAM, here's a good chance to get a 2TB DRAM SSD for under $200.

I believe SK Hynix is made in South Korea and is one of the few SSD companies that has all of its components on the SSD built by SK Hynix themselves without relying on 3rd parties for bits here and there. So the quality control is there. I also believe it is one of the lowest priced SSD with DRAM (even without the price drop).

Enjoy!

    I've after 2tb drive as a main windows drive, is this good? How does it compare to Samsung?

    • greatlamp on 01/09/2024 - 20:33

      This is similar to the Samsung 990 pro SSD on performance. It's top level.

          It was long time ago. That comment was based on the market at that time.

      Based on the price, there is no reason to recommend 990 Pro. Just go with this one. If 990 Pro has the same price, I will still recommend Hynix P41 personally, but some people may prefer 990 Pro. However, the price has terminated the race.

          A lot of 2TB non-DRAM SSDs are sold around this price, if not more, so this coming with DRAM and it being under $200 is quite the deal. Having DRAM usually jacks up the price of 2TB SSDs into the $250 to above $300 range.

          DRAM is useful for extremely quick boot-up, running multiple intensive programs, or playing games that you might be on for longer durations. I've read that DRAM also helps when you play games for longer sessions like MMOs and it avoids the game from stuttering as it is able to access data quicker.

              @Hawk Tuah: I bought it myself for $178.49 in July 2023, still this is a good price given the competition.

      Hard to find any Gen4 drive that beats Hynix P41 Platinum at any price point, this one is bee's knees for a desktop/laptop machine.

      • Relsierk on 01/09/2024 - 21:49

        Totally agree! Even without the discount, it is the lowest priced SSD with DRAM cache as far as I know, with performance equal to the other more common brand names.

        Now at under $200, it is even cheaper than some 2TB SSDs without DRAM!

    not sure how this compares but there is a 2TB Western Digital SN580 at Centrecom for $149

        Does that mean the sk hynix is a higher tier SSD? Sorry, noob question.

          Yes, the SN580 is down the "affordable" side of the WD product line.

              in this case bigger number is better

              • theguwithnoname on 01/09/2024 - 22:06

                @lachlantula: Bought SN580 recently as boot drive for a new PC. While the performance of the Sk Hynix one is obviously better, I doubt you’d be able to see the a noticeable difference in boot times, etc. between the two.

                Also DRAMless hasn’t been much too much worse than DRAM SSDs for a while now I think, since HMB lets a DRAMless drive use the system RAM for write caching and stuff. (Accessing system memory over pcie bus still adds some latency, so performance of dedicated DRAM is still slightly better).

                Yes this is me coping that I wasn’t able to buy this SSD :’)

      There is no coupon code. The coupon is just checking the box underneath the price on the Amazon product page. Once you check it, it is automatically deducted when you checkout.

    This is a great resource for checking out SSDs and lists this model (sk Hynix P41) in the top tier of those available. The reddit thread it comes from is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewMaxx/comments/dhvrdm/ssd_guides_…

    for an idiot, how hard is it to replace the ssd in my desktop with this? do i need a special screwdriver?

    • Relsierk on 01/09/2024 - 21:28

      Not at all, the SSD is usually screwed into place with just a single short Phillip screw. Some motherboards don't even have a screw but just a plastic that swivel and holds it in place. It is very easy to replace; just YouTube some video guide and you will swap it out in no time! ^_^

          Just be gentle initially when lining it up. Watch some YouTube videos if it feels like too much force is needed.

      There are two types of SSD in your desktop, SATA and NVMe, you first need to check whether your motherboard has any available NVMe/M.2 port

      Anyone who can operate manual screwdriver can replace ssd. You will need a "precision" (iow small size philips or pozi) screw bit.

      If you bought any of the previous precision screwdriver sets you'll be fine

      • Homr on 01/09/2024 - 22:08

        does DRAM make a huge impact?

        • Wooluff on 01/09/2024 - 22:16

          Probably not with the latest drives. HMB helps overcome a lot of the previous shortcomings of DRAMless drives. In saying that, though, I'd still pick the SK Hynix over Lexar every time.

    Nearly jumped on this deal last night but read about issues with degraded write speed after a period of use, with only secure erase providing a temporary solution.
