The only real reference to it that I can is here: https://www.ssstc.com/products-detail/CA6-M2-2280-pcie-ssd/

But I’ve bought some on ebay and I am thoroughly impressed. From someone with half a dozen P31s around the house.

What Gen4 and Gen5 drives replace the Gen3 SKHynix P31 Gold as the go-to drive in these environments?

That SKHynix P31 Gold has been a staple for low power applications like homeassistant microservers, routers, etc.

If a PCIe4 controller doesn’t cost more, and can use newer and due to the newer interface, eventually that will have to win out.

While Moore is dead, processes do still get cheaper over time with improving yields, and process tweaks.
