Before you buy
A PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive using up to 4 lanes, with a rated ceiling of 7,000 MB/s sequential read; SK hynix states no PCIe 5.0 support or backward-compatibility behaviour.
SK hynix publishes no test conditions for its speed figures, and no active or idle power, DRAM cache or storage-temperature ratings, so those remain unknown here.
SK hynix lists AES 256-bit encryption with TCG Pyrite support; TCG Opal is not listed on its product page.
Every specification. With its source.
