The article discusses how upgrading an aging PC for better speed performance has shifted from RAM and processor improvements to storage drives. Among various M.2 drives available, the PNY CS3150 stands out due to its dual-fan and heatsink setup, designed to manage heat dissipation — a crucial factor for high-performance systems like gaming rigs. With impressive specs of up to 11,500 MB/s read and 8,500 MB/s write speeds, this drive helps mitigate potential thermal throttling issues commonly faced by high-end computer setups, especially during intensive tasks.
Not only does it have a heatsink, but that heatsink is kitted out with two fans to dissipate the heat generated during use.
One of the biggest killers of storage drives is heat. High-end gaming, when pushed to their limits, might hit thermal throttling or heat might cause crashes.
