About This Product
The PNY CS1030 is a 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD. It offers improved performance over SATA SSDs, with sequential read/write speeds suitable for general computing tasks and faster application loading. While it utilizes the NVMe interface, its PCIe Gen3 speeds are surpassed by newer Gen4 and Gen5 drives in the same price range, making it a budget-friendly option for systems without Gen4 support.
Verdict
“Good for budget builds or older systems needing an NVMe upgrade without Gen4 support.”
