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.

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 use these 120GB SSDs for my virtual machine installs using Proxmox. VM OS installs do not need much space and these are perfect for the low power draw. Hovering around $21, these are perfect. I have many PNY SSD drives still around from years ago and only displaying 7% wearout being on 24/7. Inexpensive, quality drives.

I am working on a server project and I needed 2 small SSDs to put the OS on. These drives completed OS installation much faster than the 2.5 HDDs that were present before. So far, they’ve been nice and reliable for daily use

This is good for system backup: $25 or so t make a fast OS image as a backup.

I’d buy these all day long. I have used this drive in about 20 laptop replacements, not one issue or failure yet. My new go to with excellent IOPS and a great price. A+

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.

Plugged it in, bios recognized it, windows installed quickly, and everything seems to be pretty snappy. I haven’t gotten to use it a lot, but everything seems to be okay.

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