Solidigm™ P44 Pro Series 2TB PCIe GEN 4 NVMe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive, Read/Write Speed up to 7000MB/s and 6500MB/s, SSDPFKKW020X7X1…

I had been reading that AMD systems on x670e boards could take a while to load to desktop, and I am very happy with how quickly this M.2 gets me to Windows 11. It's a bit slower than my previous system to startup but I expected worse, honestly, and I'm thinking this M.2 is the reason it does as well as it does. It was a breeze to load Windows 11, probably five or six minutes and it was up and running. It's a little on the pricier side as far as M.2 SSDs are concerned but the lower than average failure rate and the incredibly fast speed of the drive is worth it for the OS drive.

I've been using this in a secondary system for a while, and it's been a very nice and fast drive. I would put more into this review, but Solidigm no longer makes the drive, or any consumer drives for that matter, and stock appears to have dried up now. This appears to be very similar to the Sk Hynix P41 Platinum, having the same basic specs and Sk Hynix being the owner of Solidigm. Since the P41 Platinum has a competitive price, and this drive was discontinued, I can't be too harsh in this review. Another good, competitive option is the Seagate FireCuda 530R, being faster and having double the TBW of both drives. I also own the 530R and will be reviewing it soon, with more info since it seems to be little known.

I installed this SSD in a new desktop build I did about nine months ago, and it has worked flawlessly from day one. I have never had an SSD drive before, and although I know the specs say it's faster than a hard disk, I swear I can actually see the difference in responsiveness. As long as Microsoft isn't slowing me down with some kind of updates or "background" operations, this thing is lightning fast.

I don't know how I'm just finding out about Solidigm but better late than never. For starters this company shows & displays what good packaging is all about which is important for delicate computer parts. As far as performance, I'M BESIDE MYSELF with the sheer & refined power that this thing puts out, just when I thought that I couldn't squeeze anymore power out of my rig I bolted this little guy onto the M.2_1 slot and was in shock & awe, they claim a 20% speed increase & it's not too far off from that. I purchased the P41,P44 & they are worth every penny.

Overall, this is a pretty solid drive, speeds are as advertised.The performance of this drive is competitive to other name brands out there, however the others have better read/write speeds for the same price nearly the same price or a little bit more, although, its not a huge difference in speed to other NVMe SSDs. It depends what niche you want to use the faster read/write speeds for, that'll determine your decision in buying a fast storage. For most people, this is fast enough. It also has DRAM cache which makes the drive faster at reading and retrieving data, higher end SSDs usually have that. Gen4 NVMe SSDs providing Gen4 speeds, pretty sweet :)Personally, there isn't anything that pulls me to buy this over other SSDs like samsung or other name brands. My advice is to go with whatever is on sale you don't have to spend an absurd amount of money for a NVMe storage. You would probably lean towards this drive if you like investing in a new and different parts.Interestingly, Solidgm is a subsidiary of SK Hynix so these SSDs are like a SK Hynix clone I suppose. Intel had sold their SSD/NAND business to SK Hynix and then made Solidgm which has people from both Intel and SK Hynix. If that matters to anyone.I am pretty satisfied with the product and would probably purchase another one as I have no complaints on the performance. Hopefully we can continue to see something great with Solidgm in the future.

The quality and speed of this SSD is amazing for the money, buy them now before the prices get raised, which they will. I have a friend working at Solidigm, and this SSD is what they use for their job needs, no ASUS, or Samsung or even Intel. This SSD blows them out the water in terms of speed and reliability. I am surprised this how cheap this SSD is. I'd buy 4 more of these if I had extra m.2 sockets or PCIE adapters with m.2 sockets.

and I've been building PC's and Workstations for a long time. A Youtuber named Tech Notice done a vid with literally dozens of M.2's and the specs of the Solidigm seemed to be the best fit for my workstation. So far so good, very fast and it doesn't run super hot either. I have a laser temp gun to verify the temps my monitoring software puts out.

I want to start off by saying the Vine reviews are absolutely ridiculous. The fact they get these for free for giving the product 4 stars and saying a few words (none technical) is unbelievable.The drive is fast and probably second to the Samsung 990 Pro in overall performance (of consumer SSDs). Not bad considering this goes on sale for over half of the 990's price (I bought for $70). My only two gripes are: the packaging is impossible to open without tearing the whole thing up. Once it's open, you're not using that box again due to it being glued together. The other gripe I have is the random 4K performance is barely faster than my Hynix P31 (96 vs 101MB/s as you see in the picture). I was hoping for it to be a little bit faster since this is their second generation drive. But I can't really complain since I already knew this from online reviews (TweakTown's review is the best). Before you waste your time installing the software, it does not have a cloning function.Overall, for the price I got it for vs. what everything else goes for, it's hard to beat.
