1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive

The PNY XLR8 CS3040 is a 1 TB internal SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor. It uses 3D NAND flash and a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3. The drive targets consumers who want faster boot times and quicker application launches. Sequential reads reach up to 5600 MB/s and writes up to 4300 MB/s.

No heatsink in box

This model ships without an integrated heatsink, keeping the module height at 4.00 mm for tight laptop or desktop slots. The bare PCB design suits systems that provide their own motherboard cooling or have limited vertical clearance. No additional software or mounting hardware is mentioned in the specifications.

1 TB capacity for heavy workloads

One terabyte provides room for operating systems, large games and creative project files. The rated MTBF of 2,000,000 hours and an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C indicate sustained reliability under intense workloads. Performance drops when the drive is installed in a PCIe Gen3 x4 slot.

Questions about this item

How long is the MTBF rating for the XLR8 CS3040 1TB drive?

The drive carries a mean-time-between-failures rating of 2,000,000 hours, indicating its expected reliability over extended use.

What is the maximum operating temperature before thermal throttling may occur?

The specified operating temperature range tops out at 70°C; sustained loads that push the controller near this limit will trigger throttling to protect the NAND.

Does the M280CS3040-1TB-RB run hotter because it ships without a heatsink?

Without the integrated extruded aluminum heatsink the drive relies on motherboard airflow, so case ventilation becomes the main factor in keeping temperatures down during all-day workloads.
