SuperCore Series - Gold P31

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

You did the right choice, I have Lexar NM790 for almost 2 years now. No issues at all. It is efficient as well, Here's a link to the review... Lexar NM790 2TB The first year and a half I was using it as OS but after that I bought Crucial T500 and moved my Lexar as a 2nd slot for gaming & media. Befo

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

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.

Half height drive caddies might give it enough distance. All my consumer level stuff places the SSD adjacent to the CPU, so it already hovers close to 50C unless it is absolutely idling. Only my rugged devices and my workstations have enough distance and/or active cooling where it idles 25-30C. In f

The best external SSD I would recommend for a MacBook is the SK Hynix X31, which is a variant of the P31 Gold that is well-known for its power efficiency. Lower power consumption allows it to stay cooler and extends the battery life of the laptop. Plus, it has DRAM, so sustained performance doesn't

I've done this upgrade a few times.SSD adapter: sinetech don't use any other brands, this is the most reliable one.SSD: sk hynix p31 gold Maxes out the bus speed for this generation mbp, and is the lowest power consumption SSD for laptops = longer battery life and less heat.Battery: aliexpressWhen r
