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.

Plugged it in, bios recognized it, windows installed quickly, and everything seems to be pretty snappy. I haven’t gotten to use it a lot, but everything seems to be okay.

The 250GB CS900 SSD is a very inexpensive and solid storage medium. You can’t go wrong with PNY

This is my second PNY SSD. So far I have had no problems with either of them. They work as they should and help my desk top and lap top computers to boot up much faster than with traditional hard drives.

I have been using Samsung 500gb SSDs as system drives for my z840 workstation, but recently gave the PNY a chance and am very pleased. I like having spare drives like this around as I keep one for Windows and another for Linux. I also clone my drives before doing any complicated updates or installs (especially since I am very inexperienced with Linux). The 500gb size is perfect size to hold my OS, since all of my media is saved to a 4xTB NVME M.2 RAID. I highly recommend PNY 500gb SATA SSD

Getting almost a terabyte of fast SSD storage for my OS, games, and other frequently used applications is important for building a gaming PC and this is a pretty good price for the size.
