Fails - bad SSD
I am a PC service shop. This product has been in my inventory for several months. However, I've tried to clone customer's HDD to this SSD 3-4 times. It never completes, with writing errors. It has to be faulty. I have used the 1.0 TB version that worked properly. Unfortunately, the return deadline has passed. I guess I just throw it away. It's a cheap SSD. I'll stick with another brand.

Best bang for the bucket
I bought this SSD because I saw and ad in the search results.
Hynix is a very respectful memory chip manufacturer and the price was great so I decided to try.
The drive is very fast and beat all the other cheap models like Sandisk, Kingston, WD green and Silicon Power.
Of course if you compare this SSD with the high end models from the other manufacturers this one will be a little slower. But if you need a good SSD to replace an old HDD I will get this one for the best price x performance. If you want to spend a little more you can go with a Samsung, but I don’t believe it’s worth spend a few more buckets for a Samsung if you can get the best bang for the bucket with this Hynix.
PS: enjoy the price now as Hynix is entering in the SSD market 😉

Great price, but....
Bought this as an upgrade from a 250 HDD laptop I am rebuilding for my daughter, put it in the drive bay holder and secured it down with the screws and plugged it in to the system.
Booted it up to format and install the OS, once it got to it asks you where you want to install said OS, no drive was detected. Pull it out and plug it into an enclosure and format, repeat process of putting it back in the bay holder of the Laptop, and again no drive detected....
I unmount it from the drive holder and plug it straight into the system and boot, and BAM it sees it and I load the OS.
Once done I go to secure it and try to screw it in, and the threads on the bottom of the drive have fallen into the enclosed case of the drive...
I will see if I can remove the overall case and retrieve them...

It's fine
Bought this when it was on discount at $105 to be used as a secondary storage drive for games. It's a pretty standard 2.5-inch 7mm sata ssd, gets decent performance that's comparable to big name drives like the Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860 EVO. I have the latter of those two, and in my experience the Gold S31 is less powerful, but unless Samsung drops the price on theirs, this is the better value in my opinion. It is TLC and has LPDDR3 as its DRAM, which means that it will be one of the more power-efficient drives out there; something to consider if you intend to use it in a laptop. Warranty for the 1tb Gold s31 is very good for a consumer drive, being at 5 years or 600TBW.
Supporting software comes from the manufacturer's website, which you'll have to do on your own. Since this is not my boot drive, I did not need their cloning software, and as such cannot attest to how well it runs.
Write speeds are slower than advertised, but it's within a 10% difference. That may change based on your system's hardware; mine was tested on Windows 10, Ryzen 5 3600X, 32gb ram at 3200C16D, Asus TUF x570 plus wifi motherboard, and a 1tb WD Black sn750 to transfer files from.
If you're worried about the reputation of the manufacturer, be at ease. SK Hynix is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, and are based in South Korea. The Gold S31 is one of their first moves into the western consumer market for solid state drives, which is probably why you've never heard of them over Samsung. They recently announced new consumer NVMe drives at CES 2020 with some impressive performance figures, so expect those to hit the market later this year.

Samsung now has some major competition. SK-Hynix is amazing!
I got the 1TB model and even though it's SATA-3, it's hella-fast. It's revived an old Dell XPS gaming pc and made it fantastic to use. Installation was trivial. Love the warranty and it's got a near-enterprise level spec for TBW. Performance is phenomenal. Would definitely buy again.
[Update] I bought a second drive this week. Phenomenal performance with the first drive! This one is going into a refurbished iMac I'm working on. I'll compare it to my wife's new MacBook pro, hahaha...
I think it'll add a few more years to it's usefulness.

Not everything works.
The drive has 5 years warranty is good. When I got the drive, it was not initialize and my PC doesn't recognize there is a drive attached. Cloning is out of the question at this point. After I initialized, I can see it but it doesn't say it is an SK SSD drive. I was puzzling and try to run the software. The software said I don't have an SK drive attached. Reading the software document, it said not all SATA-USB adapter are compatible and may not recognize SK drive. Does it mean I have to spend extra money to buy another adapter? Other software works with the adapter!

OMG 10X Speed Increase!
I have 2 Dell Inspiron 3650 Computers that I use for my work, one at office and 1 at home. I have been going crazy with how long it takes for them to reboot. They both came with 1 Terabyte HD's not sure what brand, but straight from Dell. I have timed the boot up from the time that I press "Restart" until the time that I get the logon screen on Windows 10 Pro. In the past it has taken up to 5 to 6 MINUTES. With these new SSD HD's the boot time is now 60 seconds. AND when I enter my credentials at the login screen I get an immediate working desktop. Also, I ran bench marking tests using CrystalDiskMark 7.0 here are the results, Top set of results is OLD HD Bottom is the Hynbix 1 T drive:

My first Sk hynix SSD
This is my first Sk hynix SSD, I got the 500GB version. It's a premium drive that doesn't demand a premium price, the performance is good, and the packaging is nice. I'm using it as a non-OS secondary storage drive so I can re-purpose my 1TB Samsung SSD 860 EVO as a backup SSD.
Sk hynix doesn't seem to have an SSD toolbox for firmware updates, over-provisioning (I did a 10% OP myself when formatting), etc., or I just can't find one on their website and the documentation doesn't mention one either.
Benchmarks via a SATA/600 ("SATA3") port:
AS SSD Benchmark v2.0.7316:
· Sequential Read: 520.87 MB/s
· Sequential Write: 474.25 MB/s
· IOPS 4K Random Read: 89397
· IOPS 4K Random Write: 81997
CrystalDiskMark v6.0.2:
· Sequential Read: 559.212 MB/s
· Sequential Write: 512.140 MB/s
· IOPS 4K Random Read: 90629.4
· IOPS 4K Random Write: 83805.9
Update:
Amazon had such a great deal I got the 1TB model too, using it as a PS4 backup drive. Only time will tell if these SSDs are as reliable with the longevity of the three 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSDs I also own - hopefully they are.

Will compose RAID with SSD.
As a PC user of 20+ years, I’ve acquired the unique ability to tell performance just by touching a component. And I can say this SSD, is the REAL DEAL. Installed Windows on the SSD and its booting speed beats any other. There’s surely something more than simple random read to the magic… And I can give anyone my word for it, based on my years of experience: I’m that kind of person who can tell how much life an HDD has left in it just by the sound of it spinning. For real. From my experience, SSDs with good random read create mind-blowing performance in RAID. Image editing? Blazing, faster than even using a 64GB DRAM. Getting one more for myself today, since today is The Day to set up RAID.

The hype was real and the price can't be beat
I have an old HP Envy x360 with AMD FX 7th generation processor and a very slow 5400rpm 1TB disk. Once I upgraded this to Windows 10 several years ago, I really felt the impact of the slow disk during the Windows 10 start up time. Also when multiple applications were accessing disks (such as multiple Windows updates downloading and one is getting installed), the whole laptop came to the grinding halt.
I debated purchasing a new laptop, but with already a work system, tablet, and a phone, I did not really want to spend a money in buying a new laptop just to use it once in a while. So, the next option I pursued was to look at upgrading the hard drive.
I looked at hybrid disks first but they all seem to come with 5400rpm disk as the main storage, and I had enough of slow disk. When I started to look at SSD's, I read up on all of articles and reviews, and all roads seem to lead to Samsung SSD's for consumer uses. However, Samsung SSD's never seem to go on a sale and they had higher price tags than others.
I came across Hynix SSD's by chance. Many of reviewers highly recommended Hynix Gold SSD's after they put Hynix Gold line SSD's against those from Samsung and Micron, and the results were looking pretty convincing. I knew Hynix as high quality memory manufacturer and Hynix Gold 1TB SSD was priced just low enough for me to be tempted. Amazon running a pretty aggressive discount was just an icing on the cake.
I placed the Hynix SSD in the external drive case and used the Hynix clone tool (read Macrium) to make a copy of my slow 1TB disk. It went without a hitch in about 2 1/2 hours, and, after few choice swearing words during taking HP Envy apart, I replaced the disk.
My work system is high end with SSD, so I am used to the fast boot time. However, when my home system booted up for the first time with the Hynix SSD, it was such a night and day compared to the old 5400rpm disk. I actually thought that I booted up my work system. Once I logged in, I saw the enough lags to realize that I was using my home system. That's right. Hynix SSD can speed up your old system, but it cannot make up for a slow AMD CPU :)
I ran few different benchmarks to confirm the numbers many reviewers were seeing. I have included an output from one of tools, but these numbers are pretty consistent across different tools. So,
- If you are still running an old magnetic disks (especially those 5400rpm ones) on your laptop, then do yourself a favor and get yourself an SSD.
- Hynix SSD seems to have pretty darn good performance number to back up its "gold" label.
- With the current Amazon sale, it makes Hynix SSD's cheaper that low performing SSD's from no name vendors.
It used to be that spending $100 - $150 to add more memory to your system was the trick to revitalize your old system, and it seems like the new trick is to replace your slow magnetic disks with SSD's. I am ecstatic with the initial performance so far.

I'm just a normal Joe. Installed it yesterday and I'm quite satisfied.
Just got this installed yesterday. I have a samsung ssd with a capacity of 250g and an old hdd from western digital with a capacity of 500g. I do a lot of video shootings and 750g was still not enough space to store all my videos. After experiencing an upgrade to SSD from HDD, I couldn't help but put my eyes on SSD's. Yes, there is a big price difference, but considering the speed? The investment is all worth it. SK Hynix's SSD is far cheaper than Samsung's (Samsung's 1TB SSD is 40% more than SK Hynix's at the time I bought it). I was worried about the performance though. As y'all know, nothing good comes without a price. But I was really surprised yesterday. After installing SK's SSD (for those who didn't know, you have to initialize the new SSD for the desktop to recognize it. It doesn't work right after you just plug it in. You have to actually go into command and do something called Master Boot Record or GUID Partition Table. ANYWAYS, I took 30 gigs of original video content from my old Samsung SSD to my new SK SSD. And holy smokes! it took literally 60 seconds! 60 seconds my bruhs! I'm not a tech guy so I don't know the details of this kind of hardware, but 30 gigs worth of data in 60 seconds from one SSD to another? and 1000 gigabytes (1tb) of space at this price? I'm more than satisfied :) Hope y'all enjoy as well.

OS won't work on partially old computers.
UPDATE: I finally got it to work on with my laptop just fine by cloning a Windows 7 installation that was installed on a different hard drive for the laptop to this SSD. So I came to the conclusion that you may need to install special drivers before continuing your Windows installation on some older computers. So with my update I also updated my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.
It's a nice solid-state drive, it's pretty fast, and I got it on sale for a very good price are the only PROs. The biggest CON however is getting an Operating System to install on semi older computers. Windows 7, 8.1, & even 10 refuse to install and run on this drive in my laptop. I have tried every work around I could find and it still will not install and run. I either get a different blue screen of death every time or a random black screen of death. So all in all this drive is kind of useless, unless I decide to put it in my newer gaming tower or use it as an external drive, which defeats the purpose of why I bought it to begin with...

May not work with older motherboards as your boot drive
I have an older computer that I tried to install this on. It has a ASUS M4A78-TE (about 10 yrs old) mobo in it and although it would read this drive as a USB mass storage drive, it would not allow the installation of Windows on the drive. If you have an older mobo, unless you plan to use this just for storage, check before you buy. It's strange because I have another SSD (Kingston) in it that works and runs windows just fine. Maybe a new disk controller protocol on the SK Hynix that the old mobo does not support. You'd think SK Hynix would offer a software/drive solution but there aren't any drivers for this SSD on their website. On the plus side, it does have the data migration software available.

Best performance return for the price
I've got this installed on an older gigabyte desktop that was pretty slick back in 2012...but now it was showing its age. This upgrade was fairly straightforward and the frankly something I've been putting off because of my concern that I would have to reinstall the os and all supporting software. That wasn't the case at all. The cloning software that came free as a download from their site was very easy to use. Albeit it took me sometime to find it since their site isnt exactly the most user friendly but that cloning software sure was. Once I had the drive properly installed in the computer the software easily identified the drives, wouldn't let me make a mistake by selecting the correct FROM & TO drives and I just clicked next and away it went cloning. Both my original and this drive were 1TB and I was about 1/2 full plus my restore and driver partitions so it took a several hours, not because this new drive was slow, but my old drive was and I suspect it was having problems. When complete I shutdown the system, unplugged my previous HD and moved the connection on the Mboard for the new drive over to where I had the previous one. Powered on the machine, moved the packaging off my desk, turned around and I was in windows! It took longer for the bios splash screen than the entire boot process for Win10. Just for fun (yeah I know that's sad) I performed a reboot and timed it. Fro. The time I hit restart until I could click on chrome (which opened immediately) was 43 seconds. It was averaging 7 minutes to reload before and another 5 to 10 just to open chrome following a fresh reboot.
If that long and drawn out explanation isn't clear, this thing is great. I'd buy again and recommend it. Its been over a week and no complaints. Solid drive for a regular home user.

If you can get it on sale or at a promo, this ssd is a bargain to buy. Been using nothing but Samsumg ssd in the past without an issue, and decided to give SK Hynix a try since I got on sale. So far, the performance of this ssd is not bad. However, setting up the ssd can be troublesome if you don't know what you are doing. The ssd came blank, your Windows won't regconise it until you create a partition on the ssd. You can go into 'disk management' on Windows, and create a partition as either "MBR or GPT". Google to see which partition fits you and your hardware. To clone Windows to your new ssd I would recommend using an external bay with its own dedicated power source, which means the external bay has a power adapter plug into the power outlet. Sometimes when cloning Windows it may restarts, during restarts if you use an external bay powered by only the USB port the power may cut out causing corrupted files or freezes during cloning. Overall, I'm happy with the purchased for now. Hopefully this ssd will be as durable or better than Samsung ssd in the long run.

Wonderful product made in Taiwan!
For the price this little beast is a steal. It has definitely extended the life and improved the speed of my 3 year old laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 320) with a 5400 RPM HDD, by leaps and bounds! The bottleneck of the laptop was "disk usage" always topping out at 100% and it was frustrating to do multitasking. This 60$ investment has solved the issue and potentially saved me 500$ in purchasing a new laptop. Also it seems that it draws lesser power as I am getting improved battery life.
I have used the free version of MiniTool software (10.3 version) to clone the old 1TB HDD (with 300 GB data) to this 500 GB SSD, without any issues. I know Hynix supplies a free cloning software but I could not directly clone my HDD due to lack of Sata connectors. So, I cloned my 1 TB internal HDD (with 300 GB data) to an external 2 TB HDD. Then I booted up my laptop from the external HDD and then removed my internal HDD. Then I popped in my Hynix SSD and cloned the external HDD to the SSD. It worked like a charm without any hiccups.
I am using this product for 1 month now and have no complaints. Moreover, I am very happy that is product is made in Taiwan and not made in C***a!

View Video About The Product Install
The software associated with this device is a plus. I replaced my "C:" drive with this SSD drive without any problems. The drive is much faster than the mechanical drive it replaced. If you want to replace your OS drive it is easy if you are not afraid of opening the case. The software will clone your hard drive. You have to go to the website to get the cloning software and the drive must be installed before you run or download the cloning process. See the installation guide Video on the product at Amazon. I used an empty SATA port to install this drive. After the cloning process, the trick is to replace the SATA cable for the cloned drive with the new SSD Drive. You won't even have to change drive letters if you this process.

Wow
I purchased this hard drive expecting a minimal boost in speed, after all if you really want to increase the speed you upgrade your cpu or ram, Boy, was I wrong! I installed this hard drive and used the company's migration tool to move my data from the old hard drive. I set the drive up, hit enter and started to get up to get a cup of coffee, my mistake! It was done transferring before I got the chair slid back, I stared at my monitor in amazement then thought okay just a fluke. I shut my system down to install the new drive permanently and remove the old drive. Once done I started my machine up and the BIOS flashed on the screen and Windows was up and ready to use! Talk about fast, I would recommend this drive to anyone who is tired of hitting 'enter' then waiting for your data to appear.

Real Speed for a Great Price + Ultra-Fast Windows Updates
This SSD is a great replacement for your HDD drives. It's got blazing speed for a great price. But don't expect to just plug-n-play w/o issue. Once I installed mine into my desktop, it was not recognized by Windows 10. Ok, so I tried to download and use the Sk Hynix migration software. But it could not find the correct drive either, guessing since Windows 10 couldn't see it either. Big show stopper here, but then I downloaded and used the Free software from AOMEI Backupper standard version. It found the SK Hynix SSD and formatted it for me and copied the C: drive over w/o issue. I then retried the SK Hynix Migration software which then worked ok since now the SSD drive was found and lettered. Then, I had to go into my Disk Management and mark it as the Primary Partition and then reboot and go into my BIOs and mark it there as the Bootup drive. After all that it's now working as expected. I suspect this may be because I just plugged in the drive and did not copy things over prior as recommended. But then I did not have the required adapter to plug it into my USB and did not want to spring for one either. SO this additional foot work was worth it. But there you have it. It's a great drive but you'll have to tap dance a little to get it to work in your rig. Yes, a huge bonus is the now your Windows Updates will be lightning quick. That alone should be enough to make the switch to SSD and even better to this drive!

Great Migration Tools!
I bought this SSD and to save time, used the SK hynix-provided cloning software to set up Windows. By default, I don’t trust bundle software and tend not to use them. But the interesting thing is, this cloning software was CRAZY easy to use. All you have to do is press Next; it doesn’t ask you to do anything otherwise. The data cloning was complete in 40 minutes, and I have found no issues since. Very impressive. Of course, I didn’t click or touch anything as the data was copied, since I like to be cautious especially when it comes to data transfers. One downside is, you can’t adjust the partition of the target drive. There’s no option to do so at all, since it’s made to be SUPER easy and simple: just click, click, click, and BOOM. If you happen to be a power user or like to make micro adjustments, maybe doing a fresh Windows install could be better. The SSD itself has solid performance, but the software really won me over. It’s all I can think about. lol

May not work for older computers
I built my current computer in 2010. Several months ago I added an Samsung 850 EVO ssd which works great. I wanted to add a 1Tb, so I chose the Hynix Gold S31. The old drive was cloned successfully, but my computer bios said there was an error with the drive, and would not list it as a choice for a bootable drive. I spent hours trying to get it to work with no success. I sought tech support from Hynix who finally replied with "contact the seller".
I then purchased a Samsung 1TB 860 EVO drive that works great in my system. The Hynix drive was returned.
If you have an older computer, I would look elsewhere.

Nice upgrade for my NAS’s older SSD’s
Upgraded some existing 500GB range SSD’s from a major SSD (and phone) maker that I had been using just fine for a while. I just wanted to get some extra capacity for my VMs.
Those were performing pretty good, but these are even faster (within the limits of SATA) and better in terms of IOPs (partly due to the DRAM cache) based on initial performance benchmarks from my NAS.
These have been performing well so far (1st week) in constant use running my home automation VM.
Just be aware, the 1TB capacity is based on using base10 but pretty much all platforms use base2 so you get in reality 931GB of storage. This is pretty common to all storage vendors, so just something to remember when you install them and don’t see 1TB in some cases.

Don't Buy
So we bought this thinking it would be great to upgrade my laptop which is running a old HDD.
When we were copying the HDD we noticed that the SSD was getting slaughtered and could hardly keep up with the HDD. When it was finished copying the HDD we plugged SSD into the mainframe and it didn't register. We took it out and it wouldn't recognize. We don't have any viruses on our computer and should of been fine. No it wasn't the cable because it recognized the HDD when we plugged it in that way.
We tried reformatting it and erasing the data but it wouldn't.
Contacted tech support and their response was we will refund you so you can buy a new one.... I'd rather not wait to copy my HDD again.
