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

Best decision for the upgrade.

Fast, easy to install, a true blessing.

Never have had any issues with this brand.

Easy to install and set up. Good affordable product.

Great Drive if you can afford an NVME M.2 And can use it in your computer dont hesitate to add this one. Ive trusted PNY drives for years and theyve never let me down yet.

product was as advertised and arrived early

For being so expensive, the packaging was absolutely no frills, both the OEM box being small and weak, and Amazon for sticking it in a bubble mailer. Im probably lucky it wasnt bent!

Newer games that need to download big assists a lot really benefit from being on NVME drives, this drive really helped with Forza Horizon 5.

I bought this hard drive as secondary storage for my 1-year-old laptop. The system recognized it as a hard drive, but it would not initialize for set up. After reinstalling it twice, I left it alone in the computer, not adding any files. But its presence alone cause my laptop to overheat, sending the fans into overdrive anytime the computer was on for more than three minutes. At first I thought bought the wrong kind of hard drive or that there was something wrong with the computer. I replaced this drive with a SanDisk model of the same type of hard drive. That one worked instantly. I could set up partitions and save files on it right away. So far, the computer is not overheat nor are the fans operating like an airplane propellers. Based on the second hard drive, I think that this PNY hard drive is a dud. Spend more money and get a better brand.

Easy to install, just remember to activate it in Disk Management. Read/Write speeds are as described. 2TB at a decent price...Would consider buying one again. Havent had any problems.
