Super quick response times and an epic 1tb all in a chip the size of a small ram card. No real moving parts means no breakdowns. I’ll need to purchase the next models for my next laptop if I ever even have the need for one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great performance, great price *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022* I installed this as an upgrade to a SATA SSD and performance is exactly what you want from a Gen3 NVMe drive, especially at the price point. It's competitive performance-wise with low-to-midrange Gen4 drives. Installation is a snap. PNY is a reputable brand.Pros: Performance and value, ease of installationCons: Ships with 512ke firmware instead of 4KN mode which will provide a small hit to performance unless the part is reflashed. PNY had a tiny "scandal" a while back for quietly reducing the specified write durability of this product series after announcement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and performance *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019* This is my two week review, but the drive has been fantastic. Doesn't ship with a screw for mounting, so buy one if you don't have one.I was able to replicate the advertised speeds in diskmark and gaming with it has been great. I am very happy with the price, speeds, and capacity.Just to address this, flash cells performs better when hot and heat increases the lifespan. The controller throttles itself when it gets too hot. I haven't been able to get it hot enough for throttling (benchmarking got it to 60C and gaming is usually around 50C. It throttles speeds at 70C) so I would not recommend a heatsink for this drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - PNY XLR8 CS3030 2TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), Read up to 3,500 - M280CS3030-2TB-RB - CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16-20-20-38 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) - CORSAIR RM1000x Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - 80 PLUS Gold - Low-Noise Fan - Zero RPM - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/142882769-pny-xlr8-cs3030-2tb-m-2-pcie-nvme-gen3-x4](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/142882769-pny-xlr8-cs3030-2tb-m-2-pcie-nvme-gen3-x4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
