- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 4000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 7500 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 6850 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: M.2 2280
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen 4 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

PNY - XLR8 CS3140 4TB NVMe
I operate my home-built ASUS X570S AORUS MASTER with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor. One of the four possible NVMe drives is directly on the CPU bus. The other three are a bit slower but still operate at incredible transfer rates. I bought this PNY NVMe to replace an ailing Samsung 1TB 970 EVO NVMe. Hard Disk Sentinel reported: "14 % of the reserved spare area used instead of the discovered bad sectors on the disk." It showed its health at 86%, still excellent, with 8 TB written in 609 days. I decided not to risk it and looked for a larger NVMe to replace it. In researching the best company's device to buy, so I looked at the other 4 NVMe drives in my system for ideas. My main NVMe drive for my C drive and Windows 11 operating system is a 1 TB Western Digital WDS100T1XHE-00AFY0. It has been operating for 1366 days, and its lifetime writes are 45 TB. Its health is at 98%, and it has a heat sink. This could be a good replacement, manufacturer-wise. It is on the main CPU bus. The next NVMe is a storage drive, a 2TB PNY CS2130. It has been operating for more than 1463 days and has written 6 TB. Its health is at 99% so that PNY would be a good choice. The last NVMe I used is a 1TB GIGABYTE GP-ASM2NE6100TTT. It has been operating for more than 1465 days and has written 7 TB. Its health is at 100% so that GIGABYTE would be an excellent choice. My decision was between GIGABYTE and PNY. Best Buy had the PNY 4TB drive for $297 on Black Friday(now $405 - gotta love those tariffs), so this was the obvious choice. Hard Disk Sentinel reports this new 4TB PNY NVMe to be excellent, with no bad sectors and operating at 58 °C without a heatsink in normal ops. I saw it rise to 70 °C when I transferred the entire 1TB of data from the Samsung NVMe drive to it, so it is working well within expected temperature ranges. External-to-internal transfer rates are enormous. External USB-C to Internal PNY 4TB is high - 400MB/sec for some transfers. Internals are all over the place, as internal bus operations, file size, number, etc., all determine the speed. Using ATTO Disk Benchmark, 64KB files write at 2.9 GB/sec and read at 4.24 GB/sec. I was running Amazon Music, Thunderbird email, and many other background programs at the time of the test. Larger files operate at about 6GB/sec read/write. Overall, I am pleased with this drive. I hope it stands up to the usage as the other PNY drive has in my computer. The price was incredible at the time; I hope you can find one at or near that price.

Excellent upgrade for your storage needs
I have three laptops with 2tb SSD each and wanted to replace them all with this 4tb. The price is fantastic because it very affordable. Though my laptops are 3x4 this 4x4 SSD works flawlessly. I'll use the replaced SSD as backups. I mainly bought these to increase space and store pictures from my camera. Worth the price and I'm surprised it doesn't run as hot as the Samsung SSDs

Great Product
Switched from a Gen 3 to a Gen 4 with more space went from 1TB to 4TB let me tell you this thing is FAST you know when you first put data on your first NVME? That Speed boost was huge but this one was not Huge but you do notice a big diffrence so dont think a Gen 3 to Gen 4 upgrade is not worth the speed increase because I have seen it. System Asus X299 Mark 2 - Intel Core i9 10900X EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra - 256Gb Corsair RGB Pro. Custom Liquid Cooling System on the GPU/CPU 1x480mm 1x360mm Radiators Dual Pumps & Hard Lines & Obviously This Drive!!
