About This Product
The PNY CS2142 is a 1TB M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD, offering sequential read speeds of 3074 MB/s and write speeds of 3667 MB/s. Its compact M.2 2230 form factor is suitable for devices with limited space, such as handheld gaming consoles or ultra-compact PCs. While its sequential speeds are lower than many M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drives, its random read/write IOPS of 290K/485K are competitive for its form factor, making it a viable upgrade for compatible systems where a larger drive won't fit.
