PNY CS2241 2TB NVMe SSD

The PNY CS2241 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses 3D NAND flash and connects through an M.2 2280 slot using the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 2.0 protocol. Sequential reads reach up to 5000 MBps and writes up to 4200 MBps.

Check M.2 slot and PCIe generation

Verify that your motherboard or laptop has an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCI-Express 4.0 x4 to obtain the rated speeds. A slot limited to PCIe 3.0 will still work but will cap throughput at the older generation’s ceiling. Ensure the firmware is current and that the BIOS recognises NVMe boot drives if you intend to use this as the OS volume.

No heatsink means simple installation

The drive ships without a heatsink, so it fits tight M.2 bays where taller modules would not clear the motherboard shield or a laptop chassis. The single-sided M.2 2280 layout uses a standard mounting screw. Low-profile design keeps thermals manageable in typical airflow, while the NVMe interface delivers lower latency than SATA alternatives for faster boots and application launches.

Questions about this item

Does the PNY CS2241 2TB M.2 2280 drive include a heatsink or mounting screw, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied without a heatsink. A mounting screw is not included; most motherboards provide one, but check your board manual to be sure.

The CS2241 comes in a 2TB capacity with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 and NVMe 2.0 — is this the right choice for a Gen 4 laptop slot?

Yes. The 2TB model uses a Gen 4 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0, matching a laptop M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 and delivering up to 5000 MBps read and 4200 MBps write.

What do the 5000 MBps read and 4200 MBps write figures mean once the SSD is installed in my desktop?

They are peak sequential speeds over the PCIe 4.0 x4 link. Real-world boot, app launch and file-copy times will be lower but still noticeably faster than a SATA SSD.
