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

Product purchased to install in spare m.2 slot in my laptop. Windows disk manager made quick work of initializing and formatting the drive. 2TB is nice additional storage for games, music, photos, and videos. No screw was provided to secure the SSD in the slot is the reason for the 4 stars. I had to find one inside the chassis and then remove the unused SSD bracket I took it out of so it wasnt loose. Make sure youre comfortable pulling the necessary cover off your laptop to install it. Thirteen tiny screws and a credit card were required to remove the entire bottom of my laptop. Warranty likely voided. Oh well.

First m2 SSD drive. My tests were around 3000 Read up as described. Killer price too. 5 stars

I got 465GBs rather than 500GBs, but It was kind of worth. :D

Much better than expected performance compared to previous XPG S11 500g. Quick. No heat issues. Great piece of hardware for the price

Worked as advertised, no issues. Feel like I got my moneys worth. Performance is as advertised according to benchmarks.

Great valve for storage will see how long it last and update but for now very happy with this purchase.

instalado y en perfectas condición. el equipo trabaja perfectamente. muy buen desempeño.

I have bought this drive ti use in external TB3 enclosure. It works perfectly. Of course you cannot get full speed out of it with external SSD, but still pretty fast!

PNY read and write speed is very commendable. Very good product and pricing for the 2TB segment. Highly recommended !!

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.
