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

Boots up super fast and loads and saves games almost instant. Way cheaper than the Samsung version.

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.

Extremely fast and great value for the price.

Works with my ASRock A520M-ITX motherboard. No complaints.

Read and write times are lower than described but it still does its thang.

I have been purchasing Crucial or usually Samsungs 970 EVO plus but never PNY for SSDs. I was pleasantly surprised with this ones performance, which is $20 cheaper than the rest. So far it has been performing well with all my benchmarks installation was a breeze.

Plenty fast

When I first installed the SSD, the sequential write speeds did reach up to 3000MB/s. Now that it is nearly full (88%) the sequential write speed has fallen to ~1000MB/s. I used to have the Samsung 970EVO 500GB and that drive was fast but I was struggling with the capacity as you can tell since I have already used up 88% of 2TiB. The performance difference to me is not perceivable so I would take the 2TiB capacity over the fast and consistent speeds. (1000MB/s sequential write is still good enough for me). I dont do any photo/video editing or any I/O heavy tasks, only use the drive for my OS, games, web browsing/e-mails, discord, etc. Using the Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers Benchmark, my average total load times were about 14.5 seconds which is extremely good considering that my friend who has a 1TiB Samsung 980 Pro has total load times of about 11.5 seconds. If the price difference isnt too much, probably go for the XLR8 or CS3030 drive instead for the consistent write speeds. Im assuming that drive will perform better as it fills up (they have the same specs at 2TiB). All in all, I am satisfied with my purchase

Es un bien productor para las persona que manejamos grande volúmenes de información. Su velocidad de escritura y lectura es muy buena. Y sus temperaturas se maneja muy bien, aún que si puedes ponerle un disipador pasivo no estaría mal.

Great product, price, and supplier! Easy install & upgrade on Dell Inspiron 16. M.2 recognized by system on start up after going into storage manager under Win11 and formatting. Great performance.
