PNY CS2130 500GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), Read up to 3,500 MB/s - M280CS2130-500-RB

Ive been a fan of PNY for years and this 1TB SSD was at a great price and worth getting. This is the 2280 size, which is the longest, so do make sure you have the space for it if youre putting it in a laptop or enclosure. Mine sits in an enclosure and does backups for me. Great price point on a solid drive.

Reasonably close to manufacturer claims - its 2022 after all and you cannot expect companies to be honest in their marketing. Writing less than 64GB gets you speeds that are much closer to what PNY claims this drive should be able to do.

Used for the 2nd drive in my laptop and working great, easy to install

Very fast and Im happy with my purchase.

Only issue I ran into is that it didnt initialize after I installed it. I went into the bios, couldnt find it, so I had to do it from the storage manager in windows. Once I got it initialized, everything worked just fine.

Great product, price, and supplier! Easy install & upgrade on Dell Inspiron 16. M.2 recognized by system on start up after going into storage manager under Win11 and formatting. Great performance.

a must if your motherboard supports a CPU controlled M.2 slot. PC will boots like it was only sleeping, not all the way off.

I love it, got it on sale at a good price. Set it as my boot drive as well as my software drive. Works great, super fast takes less than 30 seconds to boot into windows. Nothing but praise for this ssd.

I have been purchasing Crucial or usually Samsungs 970 EVO plus but never PNY for SSDs. I was pleasantly surprised with this ones performance, which is $20 cheaper than the rest. So far it has been performing well with all my benchmarks installation was a breeze.

You can not go wrong with PNY products. I have used them for years and have never had to send anything back. Their stuff just works. I bought this as a replacement hard drive, and it clipped right in, and does its job perfectly. My machine had a slower card in it before, so this one is noticeably faster. Excellent experience, their instructions were right on the money, easy install and on and on. Worth every penny.
