The Drive

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, which makes it 22 mm wide and 80 mm long.


While most other M.2 NVMe SSDs transfer data over the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface, the Platinum P41 connects to the host system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface, which doubles the theoretical bandwidth.


On the PCB, you'll find the controller, two flash chips, and a DRAM chip. The other side of the PCB is empty.

Chip Component Analysis

The Hynix ACNS075 controller is a new in-house development by Hynix with support for PCI-Express 4.0. Unfortunately, not much is known about this controller yet.


The two flash chips are Hynix 176-layer 3D TLC NAND. Each chip has a capacity of 1 TB.


One Hynix LPDDR4-4266 chip provides 2 GB of fast DRAM storage for the controller to store the mapping tables.
