PNY CS2130 500GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), Read up to 3,500 MB/s - M280CS2130-500-RB

I like it what I was thinking

You can not go wrong with PNY products. I have used them for years and have never had to send anything back. Their stuff just works. I bought this as a replacement hard drive, and it clipped right in, and does its job perfectly. My machine had a slower card in it before, so this one is noticeably faster. Excellent experience, their instructions were right on the money, easy install and on and on. Worth every penny.

I upgraded my internal PC HDD with this SSD mounted in my PCI-E slot and its roughly 100x faster than my old drive! very happy.

Only issue I ran into is that it didnt initialize after I installed it. I went into the bios, couldnt find it, so I had to do it from the storage manager in windows. Once I got it initialized, everything worked just fine.

Great deal with decent speed.

I mean its pricey, but its insanely fast and worth it to be honest. Very cool

I replaced my smaller NVME drive with this one and it is great to have a system drive where I no longer have to worry about it filing up as I install software. I am using this drive for the OS and software installations and have a 4Tb SATA drive that holds all of my data.

Have no complaints. Plug and play fast storage. Doesn’t run too hot or anything that would cause any issues. Definitely recommend this for a budget blazing fast storage option.

Never have had any issues with this brand.

Reasonably close to manufacturer claims - its 2022 after all and you cannot expect companies to be honest in their marketing. Writing less than 64GB gets you speeds that are much closer to what PNY claims this drive should be able to do.
