SK Hynix Gold P31 SSD review: The first 128-layer NAND drive is fast and affordable too

The SK Hynix Gold P31 NVMe SSD moves the needle on the industry seismometer just enough to makes this review far easier to write. Two points alter the needle’s path: The P31 is not only the first drive to sport 128-layer TLC NAND, it’s also the first in my experience to feature eco-friendly packaging. Huzzah! This review is part of our ongoing roundup of the best SSDs. Go there for information on competing products and how we tested them. Editor's note: On August 31st, 2021, SK Hynix sent us the newly released 2TB version of the Gold P31 ($280 on Amazon). In testing, the performance was within half a percent either way of the the 1TB version reviewed here, which was first published on August 19, 2020.  To read this article in full, please click here https://www.pcworld.com/article/3571463/sk-hynix-gold-p31-ssd-review-the-first-128-layer-nand-drive.html#tk.rss_all
