CONCLUSION

   Just like with all DRAM-less M.2 NVMe SSDs in the market today the P41 Plus by Solidigm may not be quite as fast as models equipped with DRAM but it does offer good overall performance across the board. As a matter of fact, during my tests it went almost up to 6000MB/s in reads so the 4125MB/s reported by Solidigm is a very conservative number. With an endurance number of 800TBW and an MTBF of 1.6 million hours the P41 Plus 2TB should also be more than plenty for consumer use. On top of that add the 5-year limited warranty and the P41 Plus looks like a great all around model.

   What about price however? Well with a current retail price set at just USD79.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 121.22Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the P44 Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD by Solidigm nails the price/performance ratio (especially on the other side of the Atlantic). At the end of the day being an DRAM-less drive means that the P41 Plus 2TB may not impress with its performance but it does represent a very good overall choice for people on a budget and for that it gets the Golden Award.
