PNY and Corsair launch their next-gen storage options with PCIe Gen5 interface
Finally, crossing 12.0 GB/s speeds.
PNY recently revealed its latest storage series, the CS3150, utilizing the M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5x4 SSD form factor. The storage boasts impressive sequential read speeds surpassing 12 GB/s and read speeds at 11 GB/s. Available in 1TB and 2TB configurations, it features an integrated dual-fan heatsink design with color options in black, white, or black/RGB.
PNY underlines the ultra-quiet nature of their fans and claims that they are effective in heat dissipation. The dual-fan design aims to eliminate thermal constraints, ensuring optimal performance. However, users should note that installation options may be limited, requiring a slot that is not hidden beneath a motherboard heatsink.

PNY sets the price for the 1TB storage at $179.99, with an additional $10 for the RGB option.
