This affordable ARM laptop must worry AMD and Intel: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15Q8X10 review
Qualcomm Snapdragon X X1-26-100 | Qualcomm SD X Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS | 15.30" | 1.6 kg
The SK hynix HFS256GEM4X182N is a PVC10 series lower mid-range PCIe 4 x4 NVMe SSD that never received an official launch. We first tested the 256 GB drive in August 2025.
While this is an M.2 22 by 42 storage solution, 2230 and 2280 versions should be available, too.
The test SSD suffered from heavy throttling and its AS SSD sequential read/write rates closely resemble top PCIe 3.0 SSDs rather than midrange PCIe 4.0 SSDs at 3.68 and 1.43 GB/s, respectively. Its 512 GB brother delivers a much better performance.
