These speeds include read and write speeds of 7,500 MB per second and 6,850 MB per second, respectively. These breakneck data transfer speeds offer quicker loading times and ensure that any PC using this SSD as a boot drive will start-up in seconds. These faster loading and boot times get PC gamers playing much quicker than 2.5" SATA drives or Hard Drives.

This Heatsink is stated to come in two different capacities of 1 TB and 2 TB, and this SSD features a five-year warranty. This warranty ensures that this SSD will be a perfect addition to nearly any PC or laptop. The CS3140 is expected to be available towards the end of this month.
