PNY is setting a new standard in solid-state performance with the launch of its CS3250 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD, a drive that pushes the limits of what’s possible in consumer storage. With read speeds up to 14,900MB/s and write speeds up to 14,000MB/s, it’s a serious piece of hardware for gamers, content creators, and AI professionals who demand the absolute fastest load times and responsiveness.
The CS3250 is built around the NVMe Gen5 x4 interface and comes in the popular M.2 2280 form factor, making it compatible with most modern desktops and laptops that support Gen5 storage. It’s engineered for everything from large-scale AI training to ultra-demanding 4K video editing and modern gaming titles that stream high-resolution assets on the fly.

To keep things stable under pressure, PNY has added a thermal-coated controller that helps maintain peak speeds while preventing overheating during extended workloads. Whether you’re compiling massive datasets or loading into an open-world game, this SSD stays cool and consistent.
The drive comes in both 1TB and 2TB versions and includes a 5-year limited warranty (or until TBW limits are reached). It supports sequential reads of up to 14,900MB/s and sequential writes of up to 14,000MB/s… numbers that make PCIe Gen4 drives look sluggish by comparison.
The PNY CS3250 Gen5 SSD is available now on Amazon for $125.99 (1TB) and $219.99 (2TB).
