About This Product
The PNY CS2230 is a 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 SSD. It offers performance typical of a PCIe 3.0 drive, suitable for general computing and gaming where extreme transfer speeds are not critical. Compared to newer PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 drives in a similar price range, it will have lower sequential read/write speeds, but still significantly faster than SATA SSDs.
Verdict
βGood value for users needing a basic NVMe SSD for everyday tasks and gaming.β
