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

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.

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.

used in a case/holder for external thumb drive

Ive been a fan of PNY for years and this 1TB SSD was at a great price and worth getting. This is the 2280 size, which is the longest, so do make sure you have the space for it if youre putting it in a laptop or enclosure. Mine sits in an enclosure and does backups for me. Great price point on a solid drive.

So far, Ive been extremely impressed with the speed of my computer since I added this 1TB PNY SSD. It has been extremely reliable.

I have bought this drive ti use in external TB3 enclosure. It works perfectly. Of course you cannot get full speed out of it with external SSD, but still pretty fast!

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.

Install was easy. Open and allocate it in disk managment. Running destiny 2 from in is an amazing difference. Marvel avengers load quickly to. Bang for the buck.

Very fast and Im happy with my purchase.

Totalmente recomendable este producto. Funciona perfectamente.
