500GB NVMe SSD for mainstream upgrades

The PNY CS1030 is a 500GB internal solid state drive built for consumer laptops and desktops. It uses 3D NAND flash and the NVMe 1.3 protocol to deliver faster boot times and quicker application launches. Sequential reads reach up to 2000 MB/s and writes up to 1100 MB/s. The drive has no moving parts and an MTBF of 2000000 hours.

Check M.2 slot key and PCIe generation

Your motherboard or laptop must provide an M.2 2280 slot keyed for NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 operation. Verify the firmware supports NVMe 1.3 boot if you plan to use this as the primary OS drive. Confirm the physical clearance allows a single-sided 4.00mm module. Older platforms limited to SATA or PCIe 2.0 will not achieve the stated speeds.

Cool quiet operation within rated temperatures

The drive operates between 0°C and 70°C and stores safely from -40°C to 85°C. Low power consumption helps extend battery life in laptops and keeps heat output minimal. With no moving parts the drive runs silently. Typical workloads stay well within the thermal envelope without active cooling.

Questions about this item

Does the CS1030 500GB drive ship with a heatsink or mounting screw, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare M.2 2280 module; no heatsink or mounting screw is included.

Should I choose the 500GB CS1030 or a higher-capacity model for my NVMe laptop upgrade?

The 500GB model delivers up to 2000 MB/s read and 1100 MB/s write; larger capacities in the same series typically offer higher sustained write performance.

Will the advertised 2000 MB/s sequential read speed be reached in a PCIe 3.0 x4 laptop slot?

Yes, the drive is rated for up to 2000 MB/s sequential read and 1100 MB/s sequential write over a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 link.
