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.

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 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 have used many of the these PNY SSDs to upgrade older laptops. One of the best value SSDs with TLC memory. Never had one fail yet. Linux and these SSDs give new life to older laptops that can no longer securely run windows 7. Linux Lite 5.2 especially works very well as a replacement for windows 7, plus it’s free.

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.

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.

The 250GB CS900 SSD is a very inexpensive and solid storage medium. You can’t go wrong with PNY

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 should have purchased 2 of these. Works great. Just what my computer needed.
Zaria Prohaska (verified owner) –
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.

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.
