72 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
Overall, users are satisfied with this PNY CS2241 SSD, praising its performance, value, and ease of installation. However, one verified buyer reported a DOA drive and a frustrating return experience with Newegg, which tarnishes the overall sentiment. The product itself is generally seen as reliable and fast, with a note that it lacks a heatsink and uses 512-byte LBAs.
