In our read throughput test the drive peaks at 5,147.89MB/s at the end of the test, which is some way short of the official maximum speed of up to 7,500MB/s.

The peak average read throughput speed of 5,147.89MB/s slots the PNY XLR8 CS3140 into the middle of the results chart.

In the write throughout test, the drive peaked at the end of the test run at 5,472.738MB/s which isn't too far away from the official maximum of 5,650MB/s.

That peak average write figure of 5,472.738MB/s makes the PNY XLR8 CS3140 the fifth-fastest Gen4 drive we've tested to date.
