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.

I’ve bought and installed several of these PNY CS900 SATA SSD’s of various capacities over the past 3 years, with great reliability and performance. I’ve become so confident in the brand that I have now bought a couple of NVMe models as well.

I replaced the original hard drive and the PNY being considerably smaller I had to modify how it was mounted. I was able to download the Windows10 operating system and had my old Dell XPS running quickly and fast. A good upgrade from the Dell factory H.D.

Running 2 of these in an array alongside 2 higher end Samsung. No complaints, one unit is approaching 5 years and doing well, the other is brand new and good to go.

So far so good! Bought this to upgrade my current 240 gb drive. The price seemed right. l, so I used Macrium Reflect to clone the old drive to this one via SATA cable. Took 40 minutes but worked beautifully: cloned all partitions and created an identical bootable clone. All I had to to do is pop it into my laptop and turn it on.

I should have purchased 2 of these. Works great. Just what my computer needed.

The actual product had a few scratches once I pulled it out of the box. Didn’t effect the product, but still you want something totally new when you buy it.

The PNY harddrive itself works great, was a good price, shipped quickly, and arrived packaged well. However, part of the reason I purchased this specific product from B&H Photo was specifically because the product description stated that the product was shipped with a licensed copy of Acronis True Image HD 2017 data migration software, which it does not. Unfortunately, B&H Photo is out for an extended Easter vacation, so they have been unable to respond to my requests for resolution. So, if like me, you are swayed with the advertising that the SSHD comes with a licensed copy of Acronis True Image, it does not. Also, can confirm that the product does not come with any mounting hardware like an earlier reviewer commented, however the screws from the SSHD that I removed fit into the new drive properly. The only reason you’d need new screws is if this SSHD is not replacing an existing HD.
