About This Product
The PNY CS2241 is a 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. It offers sequential read and write speeds typical of entry-level PCIe Gen4 drives, making it suitable for general computing and light gaming. While faster than PCIe Gen3 SSDs, it does not compete with high-end PCIe Gen4 drives in sustained performance or IOPS, but offers a cost-effective upgrade for systems with PCIe Gen4 M.2 slots.
Verdict
