SK Hynix is a major brand and the P31 is a great midrange SSD... except for the fact that it seemingly doesn't care about your data.

> SK Hynix is a major brand
Is it? I passed on an offer for a drive carrying that name, and got something else for slightly more, the other day as I didn't know the name.
Perhaps their noteworthiness varies internationally? Or do they mainly sell to manufacturers rather than direct to the likes of me?
They are even among the manufacturers of actual flash memory chips.

This. Think they mostly sell OEM SSDs under their name, if you buy a laptop or pre built system from a major manufacturer chances are not that low that you find a SK Hynix SSD in there.
I have a Sabrent M2 in my own PC, bought it because it was the cheapest option. Incidentally I suspect it's the cause of system-wide slowdown in the past few months, even opening the file explorer takes over ten seconds sometimes.
