According to SK Hynix's press release, the PCB01, as they decided to call it, promises sequential read and write performance of up to 14GB/s and 12GB/s, respectively. As detailed, it uses SK Hynix's in-house controller, paired up with 238-layer 3D TLC NAND flash.

Anandtech had a chance to get a bit more information at the GTC 2024 show floor, snapping a few pictures with the Platinum P51 name, which is a bit more marketing-friendly, at least compared to the PCB01. Surprisingly, the pictured SSD has somewhat slower transfer speeds of up to 13,5GB/s and 11,5GB/s, but hopefully, SK Hynix will clear the confusion pretty soon. Anandtech also notes it will be available in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities as well as gives a bit more details about the NAND flash used.

Jae-yeun Yun, head of NAND Product Planning and Enablement at SK hynix, stated: "PCB01 will not only be highlighted for its use in AI PCs, but this high-performing product will also receive significant attention in the gaming and high-end PC markets," he said. "Our much-anticipated product will allow us to solidify our position as the global no.1 AI memory provider not only in the HBM field but also in the on-device AI area."

The SK Hynix PCB01, or the Platinum P51, should be available later this year, and it will be interesting to see how it compares to Phison-based SSDs with upcoming Micron NAND.
