PNY CS2230 SSD 500GB M.2 Type with PCI Express 3.0 Connection M280CS2230-500-RB

Key features:

  • Top capacity 500GB NVMe
  • Gen3 M.2 2280 speeds
  • Up to 6 times faster than SATA
See full description

  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

  • Extreme Performance: Data transfer speeds much higher than a traditional hard drive.
  • Enhanced Reliability: Non-volatile NAND memory is up to 30 times more durable compared to traditional mechanical drives (HDDs).

    • The CS2230 drive is designed as a replacement for SATA-type SSDs, helping to achieve faster system boot times, quicker application loading, and better overall performance. Do more in less time with NVMe technology: power on, power off, and load applications up to 6 times faster compared to SSDs based on the SATA protocol.

    Since it has no moving parts, the PNY CS2230 M.2 NVMe SSD is extremely durable and has a much lower chance of failure.

    The PNY CS2230 M.2 NVMe SSD is an excellent choice for upgrading to NVMe technology from a conventional SATA drive, for any existing computer (PC or MAC), desktop or laptop, that supports NVMe.

    Capacity

    The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

    For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

    As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

    Form Factor

    The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.

    M.2 (Type 2280)
    The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.
