SK Hynix 256GB M.2 SSD (Solid State Drive) NVMe PCIe Model: HFS256GD9MND-5510A BA - OEM

Used this in a homemade router PC that is running OPNSense. Didn’t need to be anything fancy, just reasonably priced and reliable. Board and OPNSense installer recognized this right away, and within minutes I had a bootable router OS up and running. Can’t comment on read/write speeds as that isn’t a critical issue for this application but I will say that OPNSense boots incredibly quick (paired with 8GB DDR5, Intel N100 CPU)I’ve purchased a number of these in the past for the same purpose as well and they are all still running great after several years. Hynix is one of the top flash manufacturers around and I’ve never had any issues with their products to date.

I purchase these to upgrade my laptops for work with larger drives, and to just take the original drives and keep them for litigation purposes, instead of relying solely on backups. The time it takes to put in a new drive and image it outweighs the cost of backing it up, wiping it, then imaging it.The one thing I was surprised to see when I opened a Dell to replace the drive, was SK Hynix drives and RAM. So, I figure these were a good option to swap out for Dell shipped hardware in my corporate Latitude computers. I have had no failures, issues, or reliability concerns with these drives. They are not the fastest, but most users don't need much. Would recommend and buy again.

Hard drive of Dell laptop stopped working due to water damage. This works perfectly as a replacement hard disk, low cost and great quality.

Nice little SSD for my parents' hand-me-down PC that I gave them. More than enough space for them and incredibly fast for the price. I have a SK Hynix p41 too and it's great, so anecdotally they seem to make good products all around. Definitely recommend for someone looking for a cheap nvme boot drive.

So after finding out that a Samsung 960 Evo NVMe is not compatible with my Alienware r3 15 laptop. I was in search of a SSD compatible with one. An an Alienware tech sent me a list of compatible ssd's. The SK Hynix NVMe was compatible so I bought one (being hard to find). Seller got it to me in a couple of days and just installed Windows 10 on it and it works perfectly fine. Thanks to the seller for selling a great product that isn't the easiest to find!Update: benchmarked this against the Samsung pm915 both with heat skins on and the samsung runs 10 degrees cooler and is twice as fast. Kinda bummed but still a good drive

I looked at reviews and benchmarks and I could find no reason not to buy these. I use these in mini pcs that are used as mini servers and nodes. They provide enough space for the OS and the apps I need installed. It's an affordable way to add more to my cluster.

I managed to score this for $16 and not disappointed at all. Slapped this in a Dell i5 3050 SFF as a boot drive and loaded Windows 11. PLENTY fast enough, not sure why others would complain it's too slow. I guess you can't please purists hell bent on synthetic benchmarks. If it feels fast, it's fast.

This makes computers so much faster to start if your mainboard supports it. It is a no brainer to buy it.
