PNY Gen4 PCIe Drive and More Showcased at Computex 2019

PNY Gen4

There are all kinds of fun stuff on display at this years Computex. However, one of the hottest tickets has to be the Ryzen Gen 3, The X570 motherboards, and the PCIe Gen 4 capabilities they bring. A few brands have had a new drive to show us, and PNY is no exception.

CS4040

The new drive is their latest high-end NVMe drive, and features the current favourite Phison controller. It’s capable of 4800 MB/s read, and 4000 MB/s write, which is obviously a big step up from the current crop of high-end drives. It’ll be available in 500GB up to 2TB, and which we don’t have a price, don’t expect it to be cheap. This is bleeding edge consumer storage, and it will come with a premium.

CS3030

On the current Gen3 format, you can find their flagship XLR8 drive. This is no slouch either, with 3500 MB/s Read and 3000 MB/s write.

Portable Storage

Their portable storage range was on display. Now, not all of these are brand new and some are just updates. However, we do love their Type-C Pro Elite SSD. Ultra-portable storage with 880 MB/s read and 900 MB/s write. As well as their superb Elite-X U3 microSD (A1 Rated), both ideal for content creators on the go.

Gaming

Now, there’s nothing “new” to the market here, as Nvidia GTX and RTX is already well known. However, PNY has some very competitive cards when it comes to price and performance. One that did catch my eye is their new GTX 1650 4GB. Sure, not the most exciting card ever, but as we’ve seen, they’re bloody good value. The same is true of their new RTX 2060, a nice entry point for the enthusiast PC gamer.
