Amazon is now offering its best price ever on the PNY CS3150 XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB 1TB Gen5 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD at $160 shipped. This limited-time Lightning deal knocks a solid 20% off to deliver the lowest price we have tracked since we featured them at launch back in November. While we did see this model fall to $185 back April, today’s offer lands as a new all-time low on the speedy gaming battlestation upgrade. Leveraging Gen5 internals, this is among PNY’s latest releases in the category, complete with RGB action and more. Our launch coverage details all of it and you’ll find more information after the jump.
The PNY CS3150 XLR8 featured above is on the upper end of the product family, if not for any reason other than its onboard, customizable RGB action – this is where it gets its Epic-X presumably. It clocks in at up to 11,500MB/s with PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe architecture and the built-in dual-fan heatsink – this is a patent-pending piece of tech that is said to provide “quiet” fan action to better “prevent performance throttling.” There’s also a 5-year warranty in tow on this one.
