PNY CS2150 SSD debuts with up to 10GB/s read speed thanks to PCIe Gen5 upgrade
PNY is confident that swapping your current SSD with the CS2150 is the latest way to optimize load-times, quality and general gameplay on a PC - although mostly if it is also equipped with other up-to-date components supporting standards at least as new as DDR5 and Direct X12 (such as XLR8 Gaming-series memory sticks and RTX 4000-series cards, as the OEM strongly hints).
The new M.2 2280 SSD also supports Microsoft DirectStorage for PCs with Windows 10 1909 or newer. It is also hyped as a productivity asset with TCG Opal 2.0 for potentially enhanced hardware-level data security.
It is also backed to be a "highly durable" drive with a 1.5 million hour mean time between failure (MTBF) rating and a low-density parity check (LDPC) error-correction code (ECC) algorithm.
The CS2150 SSD is available from now in the form of a 1TB SKU rated for a read speed of up to 10.2GB/s and a write speed of up to 8.3GB/s, or the 2TB top-end model with the 'full' up-to-10.3GB/s read speed and 8.6GB/s write speed.
They are listed on Amazon at their RRPs of $99.99 and $179.99 respectively with a 5-year limited warranty or TBW in the US.
