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

Newer games that need to download big assists a lot really benefit from being on NVME drives, this drive really helped with Forza Horizon 5.

Have no complaints. Plug and play fast storage. Doesn’t run too hot or anything that would cause any issues. Definitely recommend this for a budget blazing fast storage option.

Threw it in my Ryzen 5900X build, formatted it and had no issues.

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.

Added to my Acer Nitro5 laptop for game storage. When I moved my Steam library from the current SSD to this one, it was absolutely shocking. I should have benchmarked it, but I have literally never seen data move that fast, this is the fastest storage deice I have ever owned. Ive had it for about a year now I think, and its flawless.

Best decision for the upgrade.

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.

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.

Storage is under advertised. But, the performance is there and I am happy with the purchase overall. Definitely great value for the cost point. Will be buying more as needed.

I love the capacity, having 4 TB of fast storage is amazing and the lack of sata cables makes building a new rig much easier. id confidently recommend this generic 4 TB m.2 nvme drive to anyone who is requiring more storage and has a free slot open but only if they can find it for less than 450 dollars shipped any more expensive just get a sata 2.5 inch ssd. this is my secondary drive filled with mostly AAA games and mods for fo4. I have some powerful programs and media work being done on this storage device aswell. With that being said i doubt ill recommend it as an OS drive, but for anything else go for it just what that price tag. my 2022 pc build i7 12700k [OC 5.0 all pcore / e core stock] noctua NH-U12A chromax balck.
