Designed for media storage, use as a boot drive, or as a replacement for an existing drive, the 240GB CS900 SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from PNY Technologies allows users to store and access up to 240GB 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 500 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.

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.

It’s only few days but I had no problem to install it into my computer as a 3rd drive and use it as a cache drive.

This M.2 works great and is a bargain at this price. This is NOT an NVME! So order it only if you need an M.2 Sata III.

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.

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 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.

Wanted an easy cheap upgrade to speed up my PC. Works like it should.

Just what I needed for the idea that I had in mind.

I plugged it in, the BIOS registered it, windows installed beautifully, and everything seems to run pretty snappy. I haven’t gotten to use it a lot but everything seems okay for now.

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.

Through my experience I bought about 50 drives of this type, and I did not see any problem, and it supports all computers and laptops. I strongly recommend it,
