PNY Unveils CS3150 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD, Revolutionizing Storage with Unmatched Performance and Reliability
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 14, 2023 — PNY® announced the addition of the CS3150 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD with integrated heatsinks to its lineup of solid-state drives.
The CS3150 is at the forefront of cutting-edge storage, leveraging the NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 interface to deliver unrivaled data transfer speeds. With sequential read/write speeds up to 12,000 MB/s and 11,000 MB/s2 respectively, this breakthrough technology catapults computing experiences to unprecedented levels, making it an ideal choice for professionals, enthusiasts, and anyone seeking the pinnacle of storage performance.
Innovative Heatsink
The CS3150 at launch will be available in 1TB and 2TB3, 4 densities and will come integrated with one of three different dual-fan heatsinks – Black, White, or Black-RGB. These revolutionary heatsinks have an innovative design with not one but two ultra-quiet fans to maximize heat dissipation generated by highly intensive applications, prolonged workloads, and lightning-fast transfer speeds.
Enhanced Gameplay with XLR8 Gaming
PNY’s CS3150 takes full advantage of Microsoft® DirectStorage5, a revolutionary feature that was introduced in Windows 11 that improves both the speed at which games load and the quality of their images. Combining the PNY XLR8 Gaming CS3150 with Black RGB Heatsink with PNY XLR8 Gaming DDR5 DRAM and a high-performance graphics card such as PNY GeForce RTX 4080 16GB XLR8 Gaming VERTO EPIC-X RGB Triple Fan will minimize load times, ensuring you spend more time creating or gaming5. Additionally, PNY’s VelocityX software is able to synchronize the RGB lights on all three devices, as well as, overclock all NVIDIA® graphics cards in PNY’s catalog.
