PNY CS1030 M.2 NVMe SSD Storage

CS1030 M.2 NVMe SSD – Fast NVMe Upgrade for PC and Laptop

PNY CS1030 is a high-performance M.2 NVMe SSD designed to provide a significant boost when upgrading from both traditional hard drives and SATA-based SSDs. By utilizing the NVMe interface over PCI Express Gen 3, the CS1030 leverages significantly higher bandwidth, resulting in faster boot times, shorter loading times, and a more responsive system.

With NVMe, you can start your computer, open applications, and manage files up to four times faster than with SATA SSD, which is immediately noticeable in both everyday use and more demanding workflows.

Do more in less time with NVMe

The PNY CS1030 delivers sequential speeds of up to:

• 2,500 MB/s read

• 1,900 MB/s write (capacity-dependent)

This makes the drive ideal for:

• Operating systems and applications

• Gaming and load-heavy applications

• Creative work and file management

• General system upgrades in NVMe-compatible computers

Reliable and power-efficient design

The CS1030 is built with 3D NAND flash memory and has no moving parts, which provides:

• High resistance to shock and vibration

• Lower heat generation

• Silent operation

• Low power consumption

It is engineered with the same focus on quality and durability as PNY's well-known CS900 series and undergoes extensive testing to ensure broad compatibility with various platforms and operating systems.

Multiple capacities – same form factor

The PNY CS1030 is available in M.2 2280 format, making it compatible with most modern desktop and laptop computers that support NVMe.

Available capacities:

• 250 GB

• 500 GB

• 1 TB

• 2 TB

(Performance and TBW vary by capacity.)
