Designed for media storage, use as a boot drive, or as a replacement for an existing drive, the 250GB CS900 SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from PNY Technologies allows users to store and access up to 250GB 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.

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 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 bought this to replace another brand 2Tb SSD that failed after only 4 months of use. The PNY came up easily and quickly and has been perfectly well-behaved for the last week or so. I hope and trust it can last as long as my other SSD, which has been my boot drive for around 3-4 years. I look forward to a long andfruitful performance.

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.

PNY did not included cloning (migrate) software. When I contact tech support they recommend use free software from internet. My comment that free software my have trojans ads and required you email address, was NOT answered. NOT RECOMENDED

I have been buying PNY products lately because they are competitively priced and deliver great performance. This Internal SSD has not disappointed me. It was easy to install, and it works flawlessly.

First SSD I’ve had that failed. This one was in an HP tablet and failed after 11 months of average use. It started giving read errors for a few days and then failed to boot. The file system is intact but if you try to read certain sectors, it goes off-line. I’ll see what the warranty people say as I don’t have the original shipping box. I’ll stick to Samsung after this as I’ve never had the slightest issue with those.

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.

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.

I’ve already had a fairly new and highly touted Samsung SSD fail, so I thought I’d save some money this time and give these PNYs a shot. I purchased two of these. Both installed with any problems, and so far both are working perfectly and I’m very pleased.

The old slow HDD was dragging her down, but after a cleanup and this fast new drive it was much faster than brand new.
