From PNY Technologies, XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 Up to 2TB SSD

PNY Technologies, Inc. announces the XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD delivering speeds.

The company‘s quest to continuously deliver technology for the demanding applications has led to the development of tITS 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 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 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 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 power efficiency, which is critical for both desktop and laptop applications, enabling the drive to deliver performance while generating less heat; allowing desktops to run cooler and laptops to have longer battery lives.

The CS3140 is available in 2 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 XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD delivers speeds, provides thermal dissipation, adds storage of up to 2TBs, and offers aesthetics so that you can look good as you experience performance.

Product features:

• Speed of up to 7,500MB/s sequential read and 6,850MB/s sequential. write

• Enhanced bandwidth that allows for 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

• Endurance due to the drive’s ability to withstand extreme conditions and to retain data even when dropped

Product specs:

• XLR8 CS3140 M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD

• 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/s ⁽¹⁾ write (vary by model)

• Capacities: 1TB and 2TB ⁽²⁾

• Warranty: 5 years

The CS3140 will be available at the end of this month via partners Amazon.com, Best Buy.com as well as other e-tailers and the company’s webstore.

⁽¹⁾ Sequential read and write data transfer rates based on PNY internal testing using an NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 host device; slower performance is expected when equipped in PCIe Gen3 x4 host devices. Performance may vary depending upon drive capacity, host device, OS and application.
⁽²⁾ For flash media devices, 1MB=one million bytes; 1GB=1 billion bytes. Actual usable capacity may vary. Some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for storage.
