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.

My laptop hard drive was acting erratically, so I thought that life span of it was nearing and end. So I purchased this internal PNY 1TB SSD drive and cloned the old drive to it and installed it in the laptop. when I turned the laptop back on it just started right up and worked. What a difference it has made. Boots up in less that 15 seconds now and works great . the laptop now seems to run much faster. A great buy and great recommendation to use this SSD by B&H staff.

What to do with a good old computer that is just a bit slow? Exchange that old slow disk with one of these. It is amazing just how much better the computer acts after adding some speed to the disk circuit. To install is super easy. Just remove the old disk, and install this one after attaching it to an adaptor. Transferring the programs and data is simple but takes a while. The easy way is to use a program like Clonezilla. First step is to copy the old disk image to a temporary disk. Then copy your old disk image to the new disk. Done and ready to use. The bonus is that you now have an exact backup copy of your disk.

I bought these just to put the OS on a few older computers. Took book time from 40-70 seconds to 12-15. I converted the old 7600 rpm drives to storage and they are happy.

I buoyed this device for replace an 1 tb HDD for my wife’s laptop, we the difference between this SSD and the HDD same amount but different technology, now she got better performance, fast boot and more longer battery. I put this on a HP 15 laptop and no problem cloning the Windows 10 to this device totally Windows 10 started to work flawlessly without compatibility issues, no bad for the price.

I needed to upgrade a handful of older dual-core laptops but didn’t want to spend much per unit. These drives have been fast and dependable, well worth the price. Wish PNY would provide a software download to assist in cloning their drives though.

It’s worth buying.

It’s much faster than the old hard drive. I’m not sure how it compares to something like the Samsung 870 evo but it’s good fast and reliable
