Our Verdict

The SK hynix Platinum P41 1TB is a fast PCIe 4.0 drive with a twist: SK hynix rates it at 750TB of write endurance, higher than the 600TB of the Samsung 990 Pro 1TB and WD Black SN850X 1TB. Sequential speeds are rated at 7,000 MB/s read and 6,500 MB/s write, slightly below those two on paper, a difference you won't notice in games or everyday use. SK hynix makes its own controller and flash, and the drive carries a 5-year warranty with nearly 5,000 Amazon ratings at 4.7 stars. The extra endurance matters most for people who write large files every day, such as video editors or anyone recording and transcoding footage. For gaming and general use, the P41, 990 Pro and SN850X are all excellent, so buy whichever of the three is cheapest on the day; pick the P41 when endurance is the tiebreaker.
