The P41 Plus is an innovative PCIe 4.0 product that delivers the industry's best combination of performance and value to PC users for everyday productivity and gaming. Capable of delivering up to 4,125 MB/s sequential read speed, the Solidigm P41 Plus represents a breakthrough in cost efficiency, delivering great PCIe 4.0 performance at a price that won't break the budget for everyday PC users.

The Solidigm P41 Plus has 144-layer 3D NAND and is widely available in 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities in an M.2 2280 form factor.

The Solidigm P41 Plus, codenamed Echo Harbor, is a PCIe 4.0 x4 QLC SSD that utilizes the company's 144L QLC NAND. This is a DRAM-less architecture, therefore the translation tables are stored in the Host Memory Buffer (HMB), which is becoming increasingly common for inexpensive QLC drives.

The new SSD is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2269XT controller. The SM2269XT, which was released earlier this year, is essentially an upgraded version of the SM2267XT and serves as the company's standard 4-channel DRAMless controller. The SM2269XT supports NAND transfer speeds of up to 1600 MT/s and is designed to be paired with either TLC or QLC NAND. It is manufactured using a 12nm technology. The 2269XT features four lanes of PCIe 4.0 and supports the NVMe 1.4 standard for host connectivity.

In a step that reaffirms Solidigm's commitment to being a new standard in solid-state storage, the company has made substantial investments in storage software to enable the greatest possible user experience. The result is the optional but highly recommended Solidigm Synergy software bundle, which includes a storage driver and a Windows application with extensive drive health monitoring tools. The Solidigm Storage Driver offers host-managed caching by analyzing usage patterns to identify high-priority data, storing the most essential items in the cache, and enabling quicker reads when the drive fills up.

The P41 Plus, the first product to bear the Solidigm name, exemplifies the company's dedication to provide an industry-leading range of storage solutions, including high-performance SSDs for the client, cloud, and data center sectors.

This is a QLC drive, despite the fact that it is not stated anywhere in the press release.
