PNY CS2241 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD

The PNY CS2241 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD is an internal solid-state drive intended for system storage and upgrades. Its 2TB capacity provides room for operating systems, applications, games, and large working files on one drive. A PCI Express 4.0 x4 connection supplies the bandwidth for high-throughput transfers. Sequential read performance is rated at up to 5,000 MB/s, with sequential writes reaching up to 4,200 MB/s. These figures can reduce waiting during booting, application loading, and large file transfers when the drive is used with a host system that supports the interface.

The M.2 2280 board format fits compatible desktops, laptops, and handheld gaming devices, so slot type and available clearance should be checked before purchase. It measures 80 mm in length, 22 mm in width, and 4 mm in thickness. With no moving parts, the SSD operates quietly and is more resistant to physical shock than a mechanical hard drive. Its 6.6 g construction adds little weight to portable systems. Internally, the drive uses 3D NAND flash memory for solid-state storage.
