SK hynix has unveiled its latest Platinum P41 Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD promising sequential performance of up to 7,000 MB/s read and 6,500 MB/s write. 

From the manufacturers of some of the best SSDs on the market, the SK hynix Platinum P41 Gen 4 drive will be available from retailers, such as Amazon, later today in capacities of 500GB ($104.99), 1TB ($149.99), and 2TB ($259.99). 

What's particularly impressive about the claimed performance of the SK hynix Platinum P41 is that it's using the company's in-house Aries Controller instead of something such as the tried-and-true Phison E18, while offering similar figures.
