Description
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.

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.
Lavon Hettinger (verified owner) –
Wanted an easy cheap upgrade to speed up my PC. Works like it should.
Kaylin Veum (verified owner) –
I use this store games, photos, videos, anything that needs fast access. I wouldn’t recommend this a main drive due to lack of DRAM cache. If you don’t do a lot of R/W to your drives this is perfect.
Troy Hodkiewicz (verified owner) –
smooth also

Does what a sata SSD should do.
Naomie Lynch (verified owner) –
For a SATA SSD, this thing is fast and efficient!
Hubert Ferry (verified owner) –
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.

Very disappointed with PNY. When installing my SSD, I realized there were no mounting screws included in my purchase. I needed them to attach it to the drive bay I had. Even after calling PNY, they claimed that they did not include screws because there is no standard screw and they wouldn’t work universally. After 30 minutes of scrounging around, I found an old SSD from a completely different company- and the screws fit in BOTH the drive bay and the SSD holes! No excuses here except PNY is cheap. The drive works fine, however.

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.

Works as advertised, no install or usage issues. Nice buy.
Jermey Kutch (verified owner) –
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,

I needed to upgrade a handful of older dual-core laptops but didn’t want to spend much per unit. These drives have been fast and dependable, well worth the price. Wish PNY would provide a software download to assist in cloning their drives though.

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.
Patsy Ferry (verified owner) –
I have installed about a dozen of these drives into older laptops. I have not had any issues at all. In general SSDs will improve the performance over mechanical hard drives, but for top performance you want a drive with the highest IOPS. This one rates high (near 90K for both read and write) compared to most. NOTE: If you motherboard supports M.2 SSDs, that would be faster than the SATA SSDs.

This drive was everything I needed without an issue. Used it as a secondary bootable device for my computer. The performance and boot process are lightning quick. Will definitely buy for my other machines
Margarita O’Hara (verified owner) –
Yes, if you have an older laptop that needs a boost and you don’t have that much need for data storage these are for you!!
Darren O’Hara (verified owner) –
very useful

I built my first gaming PC recently and this puppy his loads everything insanely fast!
Domenica McClure (verified owner) –
It’s worth buying.

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