The PNY CS2111 XLR8 480GB arrives in a small, flat box with an image of the product, along with details on the front.

The poor tiger is on fire. ‘Molten Lava' seems to the theme of PNY and this artwork put me in mind somewhat of the last generation Patriot Solid State Drives – such as the Wildfire and Pyro.


PNY are using Micron NAND along with the SM2246EN controller to power this drive. Based on our lab tests the Silicon Motion controller is proving popular with many companies in recent months. The NAND flash is L95B 16nm MLC and each module is set at a 32GB capacity.

After the drive has been formatted, there is 447GB available.
