PNY CS1030 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD

The PNY CS1030 250GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 SSD is a compact, high-speed internal solid-state drive designed to breathe new life into laptops, ultrabooks, and desktop systems that support the M.2 form factor. Leveraging the PCIe Gen 3 NVMe protocol, it delivers a significant performance leap over traditional SATA-based drives, making everyday computing feel noticeably more responsive. With sequential read speeds reaching up to 2,500 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,100 MB/s, the CS1030 handles everyday tasks — including OS boot, application launches, and file transfers — with considerably less waiting time compared to mechanical hard drives or older SATA SSDs. The slim M.2 form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern motherboards and laptop chassis without adding bulk. The CS1030 is a practical entry point into NVMe storage, suited for users building or upgrading a system on a budget who still want the responsiveness advantages that come with NVMe over SATA. Whether you are refreshing an ageing notebook, assembling a compact desktop build, or adding a secondary fast-access drive to an existing setup, the 250GB capacity covers a full operating system installation alongside a healthy selection of applications and games. PNY is an established memory and storage brand with a long history in consumer and professional markets, and the CS1030 series reflects their focus on value-driven performance. --- Verified Specifications --- Brand: PNY Model: CS1030 SKU: M280CS1030-250-RB Capacity: 250 GB Form Factor: M.2 Interface: NVMe (PCIe Gen 3) Sequential Read: Up to 2,500 MB/s Sequential Write: Up to 1,100 MB/s Storage Type: SSD (Solid State Drive)
