One of SK hynix's biggest competitors is the Crucial MX100, priced at about the same level, yet the SH910A generally matches it in out-of-the-box performance and beats it in the consistency tests.

SK hynix is coming into the retail SSD market with a quartet of aggressively-priced drives.

Using in-house technology, from controller to flash, the SH910A drives offer solid performance in all of our tests. The reviewed 256GB model's potential is highlighted by the above-average numbers posted in the battery of benchmarks that focus on performance in various degraded states.
