PNY unveils XLR8 CS3150 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5 SSD

PNY has introduced its latest solid state drive, the XLR8 CS3150 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD. By harnessing the power of the NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 interface, it achieves impressive data transfer speeds, leaving its predecessors in the dust.

The drive's sequential read and write speeds clock at up to 12,000 MB/s and 11,000 MB/s respectively.

At launch, the CS3150 will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. However, what truly sets it apart is its integrated heatsink, available in three distinct styles: Black, White, and Black-RGB. Each features a dual-fan design, a pioneering approach to cooling. These fans are not just for show; they're crucial for maintaining peak performance by efficiently dissipating heat during intense workloads and high-speed transfers.

PNY's CS3150 is more than just a storage device; it's a gateway to a new gaming experience. Thanks to its compatibility with Microsoft DirectStorage, a feature of Windows 11, the CS3150 drastically reduces game load times and enhances image quality, offering an immersive gaming experience like no other.

The PNY CS3150 boasts a PCIe Gen5 interface, offering capacities of 1TB and 2TB. It fits the M.2 2280 form factor and is designed primarily for desktop use. The product carries a 5-year limited warranty and will be available in December 2023 on Amazon here starting at $179.99.
