I can verify the performance features and driver in Synergy 2.0 do NOT work with the regular P41. It works with the P41 Plus and P44. Interestingly the driver loaded with the Intel 670p.
If the 670p, a near-identical twin to the P41 Plus, is supported, why isn't the P41, when its near-identical twin, the P44, IS supported.
Weird way to throw your early adopters under the bus Hynix. For those curious, the P31 also does not support the driver - it's already at the peak of the PCIe 3.0 bus so I guess it doesn't need it anyway.
Would be great to see if there were any measurable differences in the standard AT test suite on the two types of drives with driver vs without.
I've got two of the 1TB P44 drives awaiting my next build and a 2TB SK Hynix P41. While I assume it will not work as the firmware is different from what I understand I'm also curious about the driver compatibility.
Intel engineering peaking through the new company. Hope Solidigm can survive the next couple years as an independent entity rather than transforming to Crucial/Micron entity. Moves like this give me a glimmer of hope.
Oh nice, my local computer store has the solidigm P41 Plus, and it's actually at a very reasonable price. I might actually get one, since they 2TB model is only $10 more than Kingston NV2, MSI M371, and Lexar NM610 Pro.

Does this work with the SK Hynix P41? Basically the same drive as the P44 Pro...Threska - Wednesday, May 3, 2023 - link
That what I have so it would be a good thing for a system drive.Samus - Wednesday, May 3, 2023 - link
Same question. Would be kind of ridiculous if it didn't support the P41 since it is for all intents and purposes identical to the P44.Samus - Friday, May 5, 2023 - link

This works with the Solidigm P41 Plus, NOT the SK Hynix P41 Platinum.Intel, SK Hynix, and Solidigm SSD toolkits are NOT interoperable as of this week.

Synergy 2.0 supports the Intel 670p, driver and all. The P41 Plus is essentially a rebadged 670p so that isn't surprising.PeachNCream - Thursday, May 4, 2023 - link
Does it save the cheap QLC from failure after like 300 p/e cycles? If not, it's sort of an insignificant matter.wr3zzz - Thursday, May 4, 2023 - link
Will this work over a PCIe expansion card, or does it work only with MB install?meacupla - Thursday, May 4, 2023 - link
It should work just fine with an expansion card.Most of those cards are just slot adapters, and the improvement is to the driver for the drive.
Samus - Friday, May 5, 2023 - link
Yes, I tested all the Hynix and Intel drives I had via PCIe daughter board and was able to confirm not\supported for the various drives.meacupla - Friday, May 5, 2023 - link
