Disappointed, SSD shipped with less than 100% drive health.
Brand new SSD but shipped with bad "sectors", drive health check showed damaged areas, and only 99% drive health. Unfortunately the manufacturer considered this damage to be acceptable even though it was a brand new SSD. I expect more from when I buy a premium SSD. I would highly recommend that you look okay Samsung EVO, WD Black series SSD's instead.

Great Drive : Excellent Tech Support! - SK hynix Gold S31 250GB
I installed this unit as a second drive in my older Lenovo laptop and it worked great. A few months later the computer suffered an unrecoverable hardware failure unrelated to the drive but the drive did not function after the crash. A local shop was able to recover all the data using a recovery tool but the drive was still not recognized but my backup PC (using a Sabrent USB to SSD adapter). I contacted Hynix Support to see if they might be able to help get the drive up and running. They were extremely helpful but after several emails back and forth we determined that the drive was not fixable. They sent a prepaid USPS mailing label for the return an upon receiving the damaged drive sent me a new replacement. The new drive is set up as an external USB drive on my new laptop and it is functioning as it should. Hynix support was helpful, and pleasant to work with throughout the process. Thanks Hynix!!

Should not use this.
Inexpensive, but from reviews here and elsewhere this drive reads and writes incorrectly. I cannot have that with a brand new build.

thought it was BAD DOA SSD but made it work ...no thanks to Hynix clone tool.
First thing I did was clone using Hynix-macrium tool, but it wont detect the SSD -"SSD is not attached". Reboot did not work either. Use another computer and same thing happens.
Win10 can detects the drive fine but not the Hynix's clone tool.
Call AMazon and they call Hynix support but everyone is on vacation so I decided to use freeby Macrium Reflect and it complain of sector errors on my source HD so will not clone.
Had to do a chkdsk /r after a reboot which took about 2 hours of waiting.
Then restart Macrium Reflect and I was able to clone successfully.
Definitely the Hynix tool got bugs, was going to give up since this is my first SSD.

Absolutely wonderful SSD for the price
I had purchased a used HP Pavilion DV6 laptop and I wanted to add an SSD to it. I had previously used Crucial BX Series SSDs in my MacBooks, an HP M600 in my old HP Compaq NX6325, and two Kingston A400 Series in a Dell and Lenovo. I knew of the reliability of SK Hynix for their memory products, as I've used many of them over the twenty plus years I've been doing IT work. I had seen the adverts on YouTube for this and figured, why not give it a shot. I usually only stick to products that I know that work and are absolutely trusted. Which is why I try and steer away from unknown manufactures. The HP SSD was simply because I got a good deal on it at the time and that machine does not get used all that much. But this DV6 will be somewhat of a daily use machine and wanted something a bit more trustworthy and could stand being used a great deal.
I had issues with the software SK Hynix offered to clone the drive, maybe it doesn't like Windows 7 Home or this particular machine. No big deal, ShadowCopy did the job instead. Installing was very easy. It took me a bit less time cloning and installing on this DV6 than it did on my Dell e6410.
Running CrystalMark, I found the read/write scores lower than what was posted by others, but I did remember that this is an older system that is SATA II based. This SSD is very much on par with the Kingston and the Crucial, but much better than the HP. Boot up time from button press to desktop went from 3 minutes and 46 seconds to 35 seconds with the SSD. Shut down time went from 1 minute 15 seconds to 20 seconds.
All in all, it performs wonderfully and I will be considering purchasing more as I transition my desktops to SSDs next year.

So far no joy....cant get system to boot.
Thus far I can not get my system to boot off of this disk..i have used the software from the vendor's site and another cloning utility I have used in the past...the data gets transferred but system will not boot from drive..i followed all steps in vendor's software documentation but no go...i will try another trick or two but if no go will have to return...if it works I will edit this review.

A Lot of Hassle
Boy oh boy....went with a order of 5 of these to use for a cloning project for a client. Wanted to save them some money over getting other brands....should have thought twice.
They tout a free cloning software to use which was what sold me. I tried three different usb to sata dock I have and it only worked with one which was a usb c one. I couldn't clone one computer because it doesnt have usb c. I kept getting an error that a hynix drive wasn't connected. The troubleshooting portion of the manual states you have to use a dock that uses drive detection. I've never had that issue with other brands. I had to use a desktop to clone the laptop drive. Used the non usb c dock for another project with a different brand drive just last week....no issues.
While the performance of the drive was as expected the manner in which to get it to that point was not worth the hassle. I was hoping Hynix was going to be our no go to SSD brand.

An Absolute Steal
I have long-used Samsung SSDs for computer upgrades and repairs - but I saw very favorable reviews for this SK Hynix SSD, and a promotion made this price too good to pass up.
For those who don't know, SK Hynix is a semiconductor company that provides memory chips for many of the world's leading tech companies. With that in mind, it makes sense that they would want to enter the consumer SSD market with their own product. They have plenty of in-house expertise, manufacturing ability, etc.
I am extremely satisfied with this SSD. It goes toe-to-toe with the Samsung counterpart, and at this price the SK Hynix is a great option. I benchmarked the drive aggressively, and it maintained its excellent performance numbers, even under heavy load.
Installation time - like most SSDs - will entirely depend on the device that is receiving the drive. A desktop PC will probably be the easiest, while some laptops can be a bit more challenging. However, if you have a difficult device, look around online to see if the device manufacturer or an individual has put together a guide.
Anyway - after installing the drive, I had no trouble reinstalling windows - there were no issues recognizing the drive, OS installation went as expected, etc.
Overall, if you need a SATA SSD, this is definitely one you should consider.

I don't recommend.
I bought this unsure of which brand to rely on. Turns out, this SSD from SK hynix is not as reliable as I had hoped. For one, I only have 930gb available to me. Maybe I am missing something here. With 930gb available to me and after installing some basic programs and applications, I have 877gb of free space left. Is that just how it is?
But what I really am scared by is how cheap this thing can be. When I was putting in my "ATX Main Connector" cable from the PSU to the motherboard, my knuckle had accidentally pressed against the cable part connected to the SSD, and that loosened the slot piece from the SSD. I thought to myself "No way... Did I just do what the guy from the Amazon review did?" He has a picture of his thing actually coming off.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I wanted to see if it would still work. So I booted my PC and everything and got carried away setting up my PC and installing drivers. That took me a whole day. I'm not sure if I should return this SSD after I went through all that. Albeit the SSD port being loose, it is still functioning. And perhaps that's good enough for me because I am in this specific circumstance. But for anyone else, I recommend staying away. I would recommend if it wasn't so cheap.

Great SSD for the Money
Appears to be a Great SSD for the money thus far. I cloned a 1TB Mechanical HDD to the SK hynix Gold S31 500GB SSD. I used the Free AOMEI BackUp Standard Clone Software and in just a few steps it was going and took about 2-hours. Remember to disconnect from the Internet, disable any programs that may try to run while computer is idle like Malwarebytes, your Antivirus Software, Disable your screensaver, etc.. I hooked the New SSD up VIA USB externally, Cloned, then swapped it with the Mechanical Drive. Booted up right away with no issues what so ever and is a True Clone, nothing changed on my computer at all and checked Windows System for Windows 10 Activation and all was good. Did not have to re-enter the product key code as you here some have to do. It's only been two days but I am presently Happy and I have messed with and built computers for years being 61 years old. Keep in mind; Hynix has been making Computer chips for years and is one of the largest Chip manufactures in the world, I used their OEM RAM for years and so did Dell/HP/Compac and others. My point is they are not New to this Industry, simply New to the SSD Market, but this is right up their alley and their first entry tests out toe to toe with the best of them in the SSD Market. Hope this helps out some of you. I will update should anything change.

This gives me PS5 level speed on my PS4
I researched how to speed up my PS4 Pro and found that getting a new SSD is a fairly easy upgrade. I gave SK hynix a shot after seeing an article about it in PC Gamer. It’s made a big difference compared to the mechanical drive that came with my PS4. Recommended!

Quality SSD, though some problems with cloning software
Needed to replace aging HDD in a legacy Windows desktop, so I opted for a SKHynix SSD, giving it a try as compared to our go-to Crucial M/MX500 SSD drives. The Hynix drive gets good reviews and is similar in price to Crucial, so why not? Installed the drive in an external case with USB power and eSATA transfer cable, downloaded the Hynix/Macrium Reflect cloning software from Hynix website, installed and opened the program. First off, error message saying “no Hynix ssd recognized”...OK, rebooted with external case + Hynix ssd attached...tried again to run the Hynix/Reflect app — failed with same error message. So, went directly to the Macrium site, downloaded and installed the free version of Reflect...it immediately found the Hynix ssd via USB device...I then assigned source and destination drives for cloning, and 16min. later, ca. 80GB of HDD data cloned smoothly to Hynix drive. Set up drive option directory using EasyBCD, confirmed the new ssd had Win7 bootloader, shut down PC, then installed Hynix ssd using a 3.5in.>2.5in. adapter into PC drive bay, wired it up, closed up and fired up PC. Booted up perfectly, and now running an extra-fast PC w/ Hynix ssd, no issues.
Big test is durability, as we have Crucial SSDs going for 4+ yrs in other PCs, so time will tell. But I will say, the Hynix is FAST!

Poor Quality Product
I bought two of these SSDs over a 10 day period. The first drive was perfect, installed with no problem. The second drive connector (received this morning) broke as I was connecting it to the SATA cable. That is poor quality control throughout the production line. In over a decade this is the first broken connector I have ever experienced on a drive.

Amazing value SSD!
Value
Not as fast as the 860 evo, but it is about 50% cheaper per gb at 1tb. The 1tb 860 evo cost me $.14039/gb @ $140.39 after tax, and the 1tb hynix cost $.09156/gb @ $91.56 after tax, the price difference is about 1.53 times. As far as I understand, the sale on the Hynix was one of the lowest price per gb for a 1tb drive anywhere, pretty amazing.
Performance (see images)
The Hynix drive is almost equal in r/w in sequential. So copying things from one ssd to another like games or movies is blazing fast, easily reaching 100% usage and around 500Mb/s on the Hynix. Though the 860 evo still had another 10% left, the difference is nowhere near worth the 50% price difference. As far a random 4k r/w the Hynix is significantly slower, but only at high que depths the single que was nearly identical. To be honest i'm not sure how much of a difference that makes in real world performance, but i doubt it's really noticeable, if you needed insane speeds you would buy an m.2 or pci-e ssd anyways.
Conclusion
With the 5 Yr warranty this thing is basically a must buy if you need an ssd, no longer is the 860 evo the go-to. If Hynix keeps the prices low like the $85 it was on sale, this could be the new king of "budget" SSD's. If you need a second ssd, something to upgrade an old pc with when you switch to windows 10, or just a place to put games, this would definitely be my first choice!

Like a samsung 860 pro at a third of the price
I had to replace my 860 pro 512 for a 1 tb drive. Cloning it with my reliable Apricorn took 1 hour 16 min. " as usuall, in the norm " After 30 years in the comp. world I picked this more mature Sk Hynix. For Crystal Diskmark , the 860 pro give a 562.596 Read & 525.205 write.
the Gold S31 give a 561.453 Read & 523.635 write.
Other numbers are as close. Both are quoted at 600 TBW. On my elitebook 2570P i7 2.9 with 16gb of ram, I DO NOT SEE, FEEL any difference of speed, and, believe me, I am very sensitive to it.
I got this drive on a daily sale on Amazon from Sk Hynix. At exactly 1/3 of the price of a 1tb 860 pro, I can't be happier. The warranty is 5 years too. Will see...

No mounting screws - regular drive screws too big
I am trying to upgrade my system and I am stuck with an SSD that I cannot install because no screws were included and regular drive screws do not fit. I will update the review if the situation improves and the drive performs well on my iMac. I use an external four-drive enclosure connected to thunderbolt. I could not physically install the SSD on one of the drive carriers even though the enclosure supports SSDs. Not happy about wasting my time. Four screws and the manufacturer chooses not to include them. How much could it be?
I drove about 28 miles to a Best Buy and back because there was no other way to get these screws today. They had a kit for SSD that I did not need except for the screws.It cost me $10 plus tax for the kit, $2.50 per screw and a gallon of gas. So be aware before you buy if you are using an enclosure.
I'll post more after I format and load up the drive.
I formatted the drive (APFS) and it completed the format so I cloned the startup drive but it would only get through about 70% of the booting. It got so far and then the iMac shut down. I tried a second time with the same result. I was using SuperDuper which has been upgraded to support the Catalina OS. Also, there is a hynix application (downloadable) to clone another drive onto the SSD. Unfortunately, according to the user guide, it does not support a Mac, just a PC. Another glitch.
So I have a boat anchor. I decide not to wait the 2-3 days that hynix said it would take to reply. I need a solid SSD so that I can get my project off the ground. I decided to return the SSD and order an SSD that I have found to be reliable in the past - Samsung 860 EVO SSD 500GB. I leave my 1-star review and my thanks to Amazon for their amazing return policy and return process. Why would anyone shop anywhere else? My new SSD arrives this Saturday.
UPDATE 6/15/20
To be fair to Hynix I am updating my review. I found that the same problem happened with the SAMSUNG SSD (Drive would not complete boot up). I started to try and troubleshoot and found posts that listed external enclosures that were not compatible with Catalina so I tried a new drive dock that supported thunderbolt. It didn't work either.
Then I read about a problem in OS 10.15.5 that sounded like it could be the issue. Apparently, Apple introduced a bug in 10.15.5 that has broken the ability to make new firmlinks. It's utterly unclear why they broke this capability, but they did. It makes backups unbootable.
With help from support at SuperDuper I used the Mac Utility "Terminal" to create a clone instead of an application like SuperDuper or CCC. This bypassed the problem and so I now have a good bootable clone of my startup disk on my SSD. It tested out perfectly.
This workaround would probably have worked on the Hynix SSD as well so I apologize to Hynix. Since I did not actually finish booting the clone on the Hynix SSD I rated the SSD with 3 stars instead of one. Also, Hynix should ship a small plastic bag of 4 screws with the SSD. It ruins the experience when I have to spend over an hour to go and spend $10 to get the screws I need to mount the SSD. They should also make it clear that their software does not support a Mac.
After I cloned the startup disk I was able to use SuperDuper to schedule daily updates to the clone and let it run automatically. Mission accomplished!
I hope everyone is aware of the OS 10.15.5 startup drive backup/clone issue so that they can work around it and trust the SSD or HD, they are not to blame.

Disk Error on Boot Solution
Unlike my other SSD, this SSD will not work without AHCI turned on.
I put this in an older machine, which was still set to IDE, instead of AHCI, and it give me an unhelpful disk error, and the computer would not boot.
This could only be resolved by:
1. Disconnecting the drive.
2. Booting into Windows and changing the three Registry Keys for AHCI(easy to Google)
3. Rebooting and entering the BIOS Setup
4. Turning on AHCI.
5. Booting to Windows.
6. Turning off the computer.
7. Reconnecting the drive.
8. Booting and entering BIOS Setup
9. Ensuring the Disc Boot Order was still correct.
10. Booting to Windows.
11. Using Disc Manager to Partition the Drive and proceed as your normally would with a new drive.
It would be helpful if the booklet that came with the drive said anything remotely useful in it, but it does not.

Sketchy company. Avoid for health and safety.
DOA. Caused severe heat in SATA cord and immediately smelled of burning electronics upon boot. System obviously didn't post. Previous drive worked on same SATA cable on same exact set-up. Definitely nothing wrong with system prior to swap. Luckily it was a cheap test bench PC as it killed SATA bus on system. They have tons of use at own risk seals. One on box. One on static wrap. Now I know why. They definitely only QC a small percentage of drives.
I'm glad it was an instant fail as had this failed overnight it most likely would have caused a fire. Only buy this if you hate your house and family.

I feel like I indeed struck Gold with SKHynix Gold S31 1TB internal SATA SSD...
There are a few people that have not heard of SK Hynix. However, they will soon know that they have been using their products for years. SK Hynix is the 2nd largest memory chipmaker, and the 3rd largest semiconductor company in the WORLD !! I have seen and used their products in my computers and electronic devices for over 30 years. It seems that instead of just being a OEM supplier of processors and memory to many major electronics manufacturers, they are now producing SATA-based internal SSDs with their in-house controllers and NAND memory chips, for the retail market. It is a logical progression for this massive company. The metal encased 1 TB SSD is well constructed, installation was a snap. I installed this SSD in my Apple MBP, replacing a smaller sized SSD. I used SuperDuper to clone the old drive contents to the new drive. Initially when comparing the size of the data cloned, it appeared to be smaller amount of data. However, I soon realized the difference was due to the amount of data shown in the old drive (255GB), was the same as in the new 1TB drive, just different scales! A lot bigger! Boot times now seem a bit slower (it certainly isn't a NVME SSD), but still much faster than an old spinning HDD, and I doubt that I will be running out of storage space on my laptop anytime soon. The price on the SK Hynix is a real bargain for a 1TB drive of this quality, with a 5-year warranty. I am not a super-techie, but one can compare the specs and see it is about a middle of the road SSD (not a plain vanilla model, rather likely a French vanilla drive), but then again the price, name and quality speak volumes. Looking forward to using in the years to come. I will be purchasing more of these SK Hynix drives for my other computers. I certainly appreciate the speed of Amazon Prime service and delivery.

Dropped to 43% health 6 months later.... GARBAGE
No very good, I installed it and installed 3 games on it and the SSD health shows me already 99% of health... really ? Brand new hard drive and already after Installing 3 games on it I have bad sectors? I guess that’s why they are cheaper than the rest or may be I got a bad one from the get go. Sorry I can’t recommend nor will buy another SSD from this brand
Follow up : 7/22/20
Total garbage, 7 months later health dropped to 43% , good thing is I only bought it to install games on otherwise I’d be in trouble. I would never again buy this brand.

Great SSD. Really hard to install
These SSD's are super fast compared to my standard hard drive. Games load up so quick now. My Malware scans take 3 mins instead of 2 hours. The software makes it super hard to ghost these as a new boot drive. I got a 3.0USB dock for the boot hard drive to ghost, but the hynix software would not detect the new hard drive. So I made a "Y" sata III cable and finally, the software detected the new SSD. So I wasted $50 on a dock. The ghosting of the storage drive was hard as well. None of my shortcuts worked at all and some programs had to be reinstalled. MAKE SURE YOU LABEL THE NEW DRIVES WITH THE SAME DRIVE LETTER!!! My issue is I can't have two D: so I had to label the Hynix SSD "F:". That was my source of the storage drive issues. After ghosting and installing the new drive, change it to the drive letter you are replacing. Then proceed to fix all the issues. After all the headache to get this going....I still think it was worth it. Yeah, its that much quicker!!! I'll just deal with the bug for a bit until I get it all figured out. I'll keep my old drives incase I need to redo everything again.

Fast, affordable SSD Upgrade for an old Mac
Got the 1TB model for $85 during an Amazon Daily Deal, absolute steal! Still a solid deal at current price ($129 as of 02/24/20).
Installed it into my old but reliable 13" Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (yes, the one with an optical drive).
Installation was easy; you just a need a Philips #00 screwdriver to remove the Bottom Case and HDD bracket (remember to disconnect the battery ASAP). A Torx T6 is necessary to transfer the HDD posts. Reassemble. Done. Refer to iFixit if you need a guide.
This was replacing a 250GB Samsung 830 EVO, which was just filling up too fast. Performance-wise, very little between them and nothing that I've noticed in day-to-day usage (browsing web, light Logic Pro X edits / recording, wife using Google Docs, etc.). Write speeds are around 470MB/s. Read speeds are getting over 500MB/s. I'll attach a benchmark screenshot.
Packaging was compact and sturdy but, as others have noted, there's an absurd (and potentially invalid) warning on the seal that states you're agreeing to an enclosed T&C by breaking the seal. I mean.. really?
Overall, couldn't be happier. Performance and capacity at that price can't be beat. I'm running macOS Mojave on hardware built 8 years ago and it's running great, mostly thanks to removing the HDD as a bottleneck.
