Intel + SK Hynix Marriage, Solidigm Officially Launches First Consumer SSD P41 Plus

Solidigm has officially launched its first consumer NVMe SSD, Solidigm P41 Plus, which adopts PCIe 4.0x4 specification and is available in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB sizes and M2.2280, 2242, and 2230, with M.2 2242 and M2.2230 only available through OEMs.

The Solidigm P41 Plus uses 144 layers of 3D NAND, and the product endurance is 200TBW for the 512GB version, 400TBW for the 1TB version, and 800TBW for the 2TB version, with a five-year warranty.

According to the official introduction, the Solidigm P41 Plus SSD has a sequential read capability of 4125MB/s, a sequential write capability of 3325MB/s, a random read capability of 390K IOPS, and a random write capability of 540K IOPS.

Solidigm was formerly part of Intel's storage business and later married with SK Hynix, so it has inherited a lot of Intel and SK Hynix's technology in storage products, and Solidigm has already launched D7 / D5 / D3 series SSD products in data center and enterprise applications. The Solidigm Synergy technology provides intelligent speedups for common usage scenarios, with Solidigm storage drive monitoring that intelligently identifies high-priority data and delivers speedups.

According to Solidigm, Solidigm Synergy acceleration delivers a 72% speedup on random reads, 66% on 70 reads / 30 writes, 19% on random writes, and over 18,000 IOPS on random reads even when the drive is 50% full.

In productivity and gaming scenarios, the Solidigm P41 delivers higher performance and lower response latency with Synergy acceleration than the previous Intel SSD 670p.

The Solidigm P41 Plus series NVMe SSD products are now officially available and pricing will be announced soon.
