Just ordered the Horizon!

I'm liking mine! I found that I unfortunately had to enable Intel Management Engine in order for the CPU to be able to reach a c10 state, which greatly extended my battery life (along with swapping in an SK Hynix Gold P31 SSD that I had lying around).

Samsung's new breakthrough NAND flash storage uses 96% less power, more details at CES 2026

It's a huge deal actually. For mobile devices (laptops, phones) you want to save every mW where possible. Arguably more important than peak power usage is idle usage. Take for example the Hynix P31 Gold which set headlines a while back. Not because it was particularly fast, it was average, but becau

Calling all X1 Carbon 6th Gen Owners!

SK Hynix p31 1tb will give you an extra 45-60m of battery life over an evo 970 if you use a lot of page file caching. It's the gold standard for laptop efficiency

Best battery life thinkpad

T14s gen 2 or gen 3. They have a slightly bigger battery than the T14 (non-s version) Make sure it has the low power display and equip it with a low power SSD I have a T14 gen 1 with Ryzen 4750u, 2 TB SK Hynix Gold P31 (probably the most efficient pcie3 drive) and low power display and battery lasts

Best NVME drive for TB4 enclosure?

Yes the p31 has DRAM and TLC NAND, speed will be bottlenecked at your connection type and what happens after the DRAM cache is filled. At sustained transfer post-cache write speed on the SN850X comes in at 920 MB/s while P31’s post-cache write speed maintains (1400 MB/s) which is is about 52% faster

Samsung SSD in T14 gen4 running hot - recommendations for SSD that runs cool.

The SK Hynix Gold P31 is very efficient. Might be able to find one on the used market. It's a Gen 3 drive, so not super fast by today's standards, but performs well compared to other Gen 3 drives. Gen 4 drives are faster, but not that noticeable in typical usage.

Praying for a Qualcomm board on Framework

One thing that people don't take into consideration is that the storage device you use also matters. I forgot to mention this. I use a SK hynix Gold P31 NVMe Gen3 M.2 device in mine, and from what I found in my research before choosing that device, it seems to use much less power than many other dev

Beelink ME Mini: HUGE Design Flaw? [Big post]

First thing I thought as well when I saw the picture. Looks like if I do get one, I'll only put Gen 3 SSDs in it. The SK Hynix Gold P31 has amazing power efficiency.
