PNY CS2030 240GB PCIe NVMe M.2 drive Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.3.

Although PNY's CS2030 is some way behind the Samsung SSD960 PRO when it comes to read performance it does have the third best write figure of the current crop of M.2 drives we have tested. The Phison PS5007-E7 controller has a marked preference for highly compressible data, particularly when reading the data as can be seen by the jump in performance when the drive is tested with the highly compressible data test of CrystalDiskMark.
