Designed for media storage, use as a boot drive, or as a replacement for an existing drive, the 480GB CS900 SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from PNY Technologies allows users to store and access up to 480GB 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 550 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.

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

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

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

This is the second one I have purchased so far and use it as backup drive for my files. Nothing negative so far

It’s much faster than the old hard drive. I’m not sure how it compares to something like the Samsung 870 evo but it’s good fast and reliable

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!!

This is a fast SSD, not the fastest but fast enough for most users.

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

Getting almost a terabyte of fast SSD storage for my OS, games, and other frequently used applications is important for building a gaming PC and this is a pretty good price for the size.

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!

It arrived at the hotel the day after everyone left so….. yeah, rough.
