The SK hynix HFS001TEM9X174N is a 1-terabyte PVC10 series PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD.
Launched some time in H1 2024 (certified for sale in the Eurasian Economic Union member states in April 2025, these drives promise sequential read and write rates up to 6.5 and 5.5 GB/s, respectively. The model under review is a 22 by 80 size one but 22 by 30 and 22 by 42 flavors most likely exist, too.
AS SSD 1.9 reports a sequential read rate of 4.0 GB/s with writes much slower at 2.16 GB/s. Worse still, the drive has issues keeping its performance stable.
Its smaller 22 by 42 size brother did better in our testing.
