Are you looking for a fantastic yet inexpensive PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD? Well, the PNY CS2340 should be on your list. It only starts from RM376 too! M.2 2280 SSDs are forever versatile as it is used in nearly all laptops and desktops – even the new ROG Ally X now supports it too. Let’s take a look at what this SSD has to offer.
The box is the usual PNY packaging. We have both the 1TB and 2TB variants, and the advertised read speed is the same across both of them, at 7,400MB/s. The write speed is slightly different, as the 2TB is at 6,400MB/s whereas the 1TB is at 6,100MB/s.
Do remember to look out for the yellow sticker as it is the one indicator that it is under the warranty of PNY’s local distributor, Fusion Tech Supply Sdn. Bhd.
What about the performance of this SSD? It’s actually very good! The read speed is within margin of error from the advertised number, whereby the write speed exceeds the advertised number. Again, for the price that we’re paying – this is a very good performer.
