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.

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 managed to order the correct replacement / upgrade for my Acer Travelmate P459-m, and the PNY 1TB SSD has worked well for me.

Do not have a benchmark for comparison purposes, but this drive has my laptop running much faster than it did with spinning storage.

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.

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!

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

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.
