About This Product
The PNY CS1031 is a 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD. It offers faster performance than SATA SSDs but is limited by its PCIe Gen3 interface, making it suitable for basic system drives or secondary storage in budget builds. Its smaller capacity and older interface mean it will be outperformed by newer PCIe Gen4 drives in demanding applications.
