PNY CS3150 PCIe Gen5 NVMe Review – Leveraging Phison E26

“PNY’s new SSD, the CS3150, advertises performance of up to 11,500MB/s read and 8,500MB/s write speeds. Could this be the next evolutionary step for SSD?

Under the hood, this drive is a PCIe Gen5 x4, with a M.2 2280 form factor, and powered by a Phison E26 controller.

It’s rare to see a literal doubling of performance between generations, but that’s precisely what we have here. In both simulations and real-world scenarios, the PNY CS3150 is truly a next-generation storage solution.”
