SK Hynix introduced the PVF01 M.2 2230 client solid-state drive at Dell Technologies World 2026.
New compact client drive targets thin laptops and gaming handhelds with PCIe Gen5 x4 interface.
The storage unit operates on a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface and supports two capacity tiers of 512GB and 1TB.
Spec comparison
| Spec | PVF01 M.2 2230 |
|---|---|
| Interface | PCIe Gen5 x4 |
| Capacity Options | 512GB and 1TB |
| NAND Type | V9 (321L) NAND, likely TLC |
| Form Factor | M.2 2230 |
Engineers equipped the drive with V9 321-layer NAND flash memory that likely uses TLC architecture rather than QLC.
The compact M.2 2230 form factor targets space-constrained systems like gaming handhelds and thin laptops.
SK Hynix already released a PQC21 model using V9 QLC NAND for the same physical footprint.
The new PVF01 design appears to prioritize performance over raw density by switching to TLC cells.
