PNY Launches Lightning-Fast CS3250 Gen5 SSD

PNY Technologies has officially unveiled its latest powerhouse in high-speed storage: the PNY CS3250 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD. With blistering read speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s and write speeds up to 14,000 MB/s, the CS3250 pushes the boundaries of what’s possible for PC performance, setting a new benchmark for professionals, creators, and hardcore gamers alike.

Designed for the future of computing, the CS3250 is built around next-generation PCIe Gen5 architecture, doubling the potential bandwidth of Gen4 drives. PNY’s new flagship SSD delivers the kind of instantaneous responsiveness needed for AI workloads, 4K/8K video editing, and AAA gaming. Cutting load times to near-zero and enabling seamless multitasking across even the most demanding applications is what the CS3250 is all about.

The CS3250 features advanced thermal coating technology on its controller to manage heat efficiently, ensuring consistent peak performance even under extended stress. PNY’s engineering also emphasizes longevity, with a five-year limited warranty and a robust endurance rating for long-term reliability. The drive is available in 1TB ($125.99) and 2TB ($219.99) configurations, with a 4TB model coming soon.

For gamers, the benefits go beyond speed – the CS3250 enhances world streaming, reduces stutter, and enables smoother gameplay, particularly in modern titles that rely heavily on dynamic asset loading. Content creators will find it equally transformative for editing 8K footage or managing large creative projects. And AI developers will appreciate its ability to rapidly process and store massive datasets for training and inference tasks.

PNY’s latest release continues its 40-year tradition of performance-driven innovation. The CS3250 joins the company’s expanding lineup of Gen5 solutions, complementing its popular GeForce GPU and memory product families. The PNY CS3250 M.2 NVMe Gen5 x4 SSD is now available through Amazon and major retailers.
