March 16, 201610 yr Hynix is making some serious effort to get into the lower end SSD market. http://ssd.skhynix.com/ssd/en/about/std02.jsp The SL301 can be found on special this now for almost 30% cheaper than the Samsung 850 EVO. It looks like a decent spec TLC and I have to say I am a fan of the design. Form Factor 2.5" Standard Cell type TLC Sequential Performance (128KB, Typical) Read : Up to 540MB/s Write : Up to 470MB/s Random Performance (4KB, Typical) Read : Up to 95K IOPS Write : Up to 85K IOPS Power Consumption (Typical) Active Read: 2.5W | Active Write: 3.0W | ldle : 50mW Warranty 3 years Any thoughts?
March 17, 201610 yr Author Seem to be available in many places in UK. Odd, its not exactly a EU brand. Example http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/harddrives-internal/ssdsolidstate/240gbto400gb/hfs250g32tnd-3112a.html#reviews
March 21, 201610 yr Author I am going to try and buy one for my laptop and see since currently it is MUCH cheaper than samsung. Cheap enough to re task should it be only useful for bulk data
March 22, 201610 yr As I live in the UK I've ordered two from the Novatech link in the OP. I've been using SanDisk PLUS SSDs recently and been quite happy with them. These Hynix ones are £10 cheaper than the lowest price I've seen for the 240 GB SanDisk ones so I'm prepared to give them a try.
March 23, 201610 yr SKHynix are a decent brand, their memory comes in HP, Dell and Fujtisu machines. My TX1310 and my ML10v2 have their RAM from factory.

March 24, 201610 yr Author Yeah this is not some small OEM with decent marketing Hynix is an absolute monster company.
March 30, 201610 yr Author So it arrived. Look does not reflect the price. If someone had told me it was high end i would have believed them on looks alone. As for performance seems to be much as you would expect. Chalking this one up to a win.
