The PNY CS1030 M.2 NVMe SSD is the perfect choice for an NVMe upgrade from a SATA-based solid-state drive (SSD) or a traditional hard drive in an NVMe-enabled desktop or laptop computer. The CS1030 is designed as an upgrade to conventional SATA-based storage to take advantage of the high bandwidth of the NVMe interface to help reduce boot times, launch applications faster and improve overall system performance. Do more in less time with NVMe; boot, shut down and load applications up to 4 times faster than SATA-based SSDs. With no moving parts, the PNY CS1030 M.2 NVMe SSD is highly durable, less prone to failure and backed by a 5-year limited warranty or TBW.
