How to setup and test PNY CS3150 gen 5 NVMe
54Prawn here with a detailed look at the PNY CS3150 gen 5 NVMe. This is an NVMe SSD that comes with a heatsink and cooling fans. Those fans help the drive run at optimum temps, but it should be noted that it can be pretty loud because of it. So I've covered how to sort that out later in the video.
I am showing you what you need to know about this drive. How to set it up and install it and the process for making it work in Windows. As well as testing to make sure it's running at the right speeds.

Unlike most NVMe SSDs, this one does come with M2 screws in the box! If you lose it or find you don't have one then there's good news as you can buy them from Amazon*:
