PNY CS2230 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD

The PNY CS2230 500GB is an M.2 NVMe SSD built on a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with 3D NAND flash. Designed as a fast upgrade for laptops and desktops, it delivers far higher throughput than a SATA drive when booting and loading applications. A combination of solid performance, high reliability and a compact form factor makes it a convenient choice for a storage upgrade.

Performance & interface

The drive uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with the NVMe protocol, delivering sequential reads of up to 3300 MB/s and writes of up to 2600 MB/s. This translates into fast loading of the operating system and applications and a noticeably more responsive experience compared with traditional SATA SSDs.

Storage & reliability

With 500GB of capacity and 3D NAND flash, the drive offers comfortable room for an operating system, software and games. With no moving parts it is more durable, power efficient and silent in operation, and supports TRIM and SMART technologies to keep performance stable over time.

Installation & compatibility

In the M.2 2280 form factor the drive plugs directly into the motherboard with no cables and fits a wide range of laptops and desktops with an M.2 NVMe slot. It is a simple, effective upgrade that significantly improves system responsiveness.
