Model overview based on user reviews  
The PNY CS3030 CS3030 SSD, specifically the 250 GB variant, has received mixed reviews from users. While one user noted that the SSD doesn't heat up, both reviews highlighted significant concerns regarding its performance. The primary issue is the significantly reduced write speed, which has dropped below typical SSD levels, reaching only 273MB/s. This is particularly disappointing for an NVMe drive, which is expected to deliver much faster speeds. Additionally, users reported a lack of product support, such as firmware updates, which could potentially address these performance issues. Overall, the model appears to have serious flaws that impact its reliability and efficiency.

The write speed has significantly decreased
It is difficult to determine with such a drawback.
Significantly reduced write speed. No product support in the form of firmware updates.
Do not buy!

Complete [censored] the write speed dropped below a regular SSD!!!! 273MB/s write for an NVMe is just [censored] even though the disk is not even 30% full.
Doesn't heat up
The write speed has dropped below the SSD level.
