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 bought 2 different modules and neither worked in my MSI GT72 2QD Dominator. Whatever is going on, the PNY SSD is preventing my PC from even turning on. I thought the first module may have been defective, so I bought a replacement. Probably a good product if it works. Easy return so thats why its a 3 star as opposed to a 1 star.

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.

Totalmente recomendable este producto. Funciona perfectamente.

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.

a must if your motherboard supports a CPU controlled M.2 slot. PC will boots like it was only sleeping, not all the way off.

Good. Inexpensive. Works on Mac. Not the fastest drive, just the most compatible for Mac.

used in a case/holder for external thumb drive

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.

It worked as advertised. I ran the CrystalDiskMark 8.0.0 X64 and got 3469 Read and 1914 Write speeds. Note that this is for the 1TB model and speeds may be different from the 500GB or 2TB models.

First m2 SSD drive. My tests were around 3000 Read up as described. Killer price too. 5 stars
