SK hynix PVC10 HFS512GEM4X182N

 HFS512GEM4X182N

The SK hynix HFS512GEM4X182N is a 512 GB PVC10 series PCIe 4 x4 NVMe SSD that appears to have been quietly launched some time in H1 2024. We first tested the 2230 size, 512 GB capacity version in February 2025; please note that PVC10 SSDs can also be had in 256 GB and 1024 GB capacity versions, as well as 2242 and 2280 sizes.

Performance

While not immune to throttling, the HFS512GEM4X182N delivers decent sequential read rates (AS SSD: 5.1 GB/s). Its sequential write rates are significantly lower than that, proving this is a mid-range product at best as of early 2025.

Flagship convertible with Snapdragon X2 Elite - Microsoft Surface Pro OLED 2026 Review

Microsoft updates its Surface Pro convertible with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 Elite SoCs. All the other aspects pretty much remained unchanged, but since it is 2026, you have to pay more. While business customers can once again get Intel CPUs, private customers are still limited to ARM SoCs.

Lenovo Legion Go S gaming handheld review - Steam Deck killer or Windows victim?

The Lenovo Legion Go S aims to be the jack-of-all-trades among gaming handhelds. Lenovo currently offers it with Windows and from May, it will also be available with Valve's gaming operating system. However, as a result of its somewhat slow APU and Windows, the handheld didn't do entirely well during our test.
