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

Runs so well, super fast when installing games to it. Have 2x so raid them into 1 for 4tb total drive

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 none the less for the price. But does not perform as advertised. I currently ran CrystalDisk to check Read/Write speed. And i only get 890 Read & 860 write speeds. After various tests.

Value for money

Really fast for the money quality 15 sec load time on startup

I bought this SSD to add to my new Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 15.6 (2021 model). The Galaxy Book Pro has an M.2 2230 SSD by default, and its hard to find a 1TB with 2230 or is expensive if it is available. Good thing the laptop has an extra M.2 2280 NVME slot for upgrades. So instead of replacing the SSD, I just got this PNY CS2130 1TB as an additional drive. The installation was quick and easy, the laptop was able to recognize and formatted it without any problem. I wont go over the details of the read/write speeds of this drive, but I can tell, this one is very snappy. I was able to open up 64 megapixels RAW images in Adobe Lightroom really quick, and exporting these images into jpegs to the drive is fast. Before, when I am exporting a hundred images to a spinning drive, I can stand up, get some coffee before it gets done. But with this setup, I dont even have time to stand for it to finish exporting a hundred images. Ive been using this drive for barely a week now, and I am impressed. If this lasts me at least 5 years, then its worth it. Highly recommendable.

I mean its pricey, but its insanely fast and worth it to be honest. Very cool

Totalmente recomendable este producto. Funciona perfectamente.

I bought 2 different modules and neither worked in my MSI GT72 2QD Dominator. Whatever is going on, the PNY SSD is preventing my PC from even turning on. I thought the first module may have been defective, so I bought a replacement. Probably a good product if it works. Easy return so thats why its a 3 star as opposed to a 1 star.

I bought this for a new PC build. Its running on a Asus ROG Strix B460-H gaming motherboard and a i7-10700KF. I have added two images showing the speeds. One from CrystalDisk and the other UserBenchMark website. Using CrystalDiskInfo i was getting temperatures at 44C. My motherboard has a heat-sink that sits on the top of this.
