CS2241 1TB NVMe Gen4 drive

The PNY CS2241 is a 1TB M.2 2280 solid-state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses 3D NAND flash and the NVMe 2.0 protocol over a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 link. Sequential reads reach 5100 MBps and writes reach 3200 MBps.

Fits M.2 2280 slots without a heatsink

The single-sided 2280 form factor slips into any M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 socket on a desktop or laptop motherboard. No heatsink is included, so the drive relies on the board's own thermal solution. The NVMe interface removes the cable clutter and latency limits of SATA storage.

1TB capacity with 0–70 °C operating range

One terabyte provides room for an operating system, applications and a working game library. Sustained performance holds within the 0 °C to 70 °C operating window; beyond that thermal throttling may reduce throughput. The drive stores safely between -40 °C and 85 °C when powered off.

Questions about this item

At what operating temperature does the CS2241 begin to throttle under sustained workloads?

The drive is rated for continuous operation between 0 °C and 70 °C; the controller will throttle once the internal sensor reaches the upper limit of that range.

How does the lack of a heatsink affect noise and power draw during all-day use?

With no moving parts and no heatsink fan the SSD is completely silent; power draw stays within the normal NVMe Gen4 x4 envelope for a 1 TB 3D NAND drive.

What motherboard slot and protocol support are required to run this M.2 2280 drive?

An M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCI-Express 4.0 x4 with NVMe 2.0 support is needed; the drive will not work in SATA-only or PCIe 3.0-only slots.
