Designed with gamers and enthusiasts in mind, the CS2211 offers both extreme performance and enhanced durability.

The CS2211 also offers cool, quiet operation and low power consumption for longer battery life.
The CS2211 is available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities. For this review, PNY sent us the 480GB version of the drive which is capable of delivering up to 565 MB/s sequential read and 540 MB/s sequential write speeds as well as up to 95,000 random read and write IOPS.
