Designed for media storage, use as a boot drive, or as a replacement for an existing drive, the 1TB CS900 SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from PNY Technologies allows users to store and access up to 1TB of data. It is equipped with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface that is compatible with SATA II 3 Gb/s and fits into your system’s 2.5″ / 7mm drive bay, providing load and access times for files and programs that are faster than those of a traditional spinning hard drive. In terms of speed, this drive offers sequential write speeds of up to 515 MB/s and sequential read speeds of up to 535 MB/s via its Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND flash memory. In addition to its enhanced data transfer rates, this drive also offers a life expectancy of 2 million hours MTBF, TRIM support (OS dependent), and S.M.A.R.T support.
With solid-state drive technology you benefit from load and access times for your files and programs that are faster than a conventional 7200 rpm hard drive. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are also more durable than traditional hard drives and are better protected against damage from drops and bumps. Having no moving parts also means that SSDs receive less wear and tear, as there are no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with. SSDs also help to deliver improved battery life and cooler operating temperatures. Supported operating systems include Windows, Mac, Linux, and Ubuntu. A 2.5mm spacer is also included, which allows this 7mm SSD to be used in 2.5″ / 9.5mm drive bays. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year warranty.

Not all SSDs are created equal. Make sure you check out the IOPS and the read and write speeds. PNY makes on of the fastest.

I have used many of the these PNY SSDs to upgrade older laptops. One of the best value SSDs with TLC memory. Never had one fail yet. Linux and these SSDs give new life to older laptops that can no longer securely run windows 7. Linux Lite 5.2 especially works very well as a replacement for windows 7, plus it’s free.

This is a great general purpose ssd, it has enough space for most things and it is fast enough so that few would notice. I can’t give it 5 stars only because there are faster M.2 drives but for the very reasonable price it is a perfect drive!

So far I have tried almost every brand and have been always satisfied with the performance which is the case with this drive as well. Since my computer ae all a little older, SSD’s improve the performance of older pc’s and laptops in a big way.

I use these 120GB SSDs for my virtual machine installs using Proxmox. VM OS installs do not need much space and these are perfect for the low power draw. Hovering around $21, these are perfect. I have many PNY SSD drives still around from years ago and only displaying 7% wearout being on 24/7. Inexpensive, quality drives.

What’s there to say this was easy to install and after formatting works well.

Does what a sata SSD should do.

Got this after the recent price decrease. Can’t say anything about Longevity but if you back up your data it shouldn’t be an issue

I bought this to upgrade my old Mac mini 2012. This unit is part of the reason I won’t give up on the Mac mini just yet. It sped it up to a performance similar to my 2017 MacBook Pro.

I’d buy these all day long. I have used this drive in about 20 laptop replacements, not one issue or failure yet. My new go to with excellent IOPS and a great price. A+
