PNY XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD Reaching 7500 MB/s

PNY XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD Reaching 7500 MB/s

PNY announces the launch of XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 Solid State Drive, the “CS3140”, delivering speeds never seen before.

PNY’s quest to continuously deliver cutting-edge technology for the most demanding applications has led to the development of the company’s fastest M.2 NVMe SSD yet. The CS3140 sets new standards that enable 4K and 8K content creators, high-intensive application users, gamers, and others to experience a whole new level of speed, performance, and productivity.

Optimized for the latest NVMe Gen 4.0 protocol, which continues to gain adoption from motherboard manufacturers and users, the CS3140 delivers outstanding sequential speeds of up to 7,500MB/s read and up to 6,850MB/s write speeds, redefining possibilities and paving the road to a whole new world of content creation, gaming, and so much more.

Raw performance is not the only focus with the CS3140. Utilizing a 12-nanometer manufacturing process, it also delivers greater power efficiency, which is critical for both desktop and laptop applications, enabling the drive to deliver greater performance while generating less heat; allowing desktops to run cooler and laptops to have longer battery lives.

The CS3140 is available in two versions: a non-heatsink version for laptops and desktops with space constraints and a version with a 45-gram extruded aluminum heatsink responsible for absorbing and dissipating some of the heat produced by such fast speeds, high-intensive applications, and sustained workloads. Eight individual vertical fins provide a larger heatsink surface area while optimizing airflow and heat dissipation.

The PNY XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 Solid State Drive delivers speeds never seen before, provides optimal thermal dissipation, adds impressive storage of up to 2TBs, and offers great aesthetics so that you can look good as you experience world-leading performance.

Product Features:

  • Speed of up to 7,500MB/s Seq. Read and 6,850MB/s Seq. Write
  • Enhanced bandwidth that allows for extreme performance and low latency, making it superior to SATA and NVMe Gen 3 based SSDs
  • Extruded Aluminum Heat sink on select models
  • Lower power consumption that results in greater energy efficiency
  • Greater endurance due to the drive’s ability to withstand extreme conditions and to retain data even when dropped

Product Specifications:

PNY XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 Solid State Drive

  • PCIe 4.0 interface (NVMe Gen4 x4), supports NVMe 1.4
  • Form Factor: M.2 2280
  • Speed: up to 7,500MB/s Read and up to 6,850MB/s1 Write (vary by model)
  • Capacities: 1TB and 2TB2
  • Warranty: 5 Year

Availability:

The CS3140 will be available at the end of this month.

I still have one of the two M.2 slots unused on my X570 mobo. I've been saving it for a PCIe 4.0 SSD. Now that Intel is finally getting PCIe 4.0 working as well, I reckon we will see more and more fast NVMe SSDs, meaning the prices will also hopefully get down to more reasonable levels.

I'm running all nvme on my primary rig. It's fantastic. I still can't wait for this tech to get cheaper though. Hopefully all the new consoles using these drives will bring the costs/retail prices down. I keep waiting for all nvme drives to start dropping in price and it keeps not happening. It's crept upwards. The 2TB Intel nvme drive I bought 2 years ago (next month) costs 10% more now than it did back then.

Meanwhile, it's nice to see the speeds keep getting faster and faster, especially with ~200GB games popping up.

Ditto and I have a couple of PNY Gen 3s one in my main PC and one in my Wifes and they are pretty much neck and neck with the Samsungs I will get one of these when released but I would prefer the 2 Tb my 1 Tb main drive is starting to look Weedy with some of the Game downloads these Days
