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.

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

My laptop hard drive was acting erratically, so I thought that life span of it was nearing and end. So I purchased this internal PNY 1TB SSD drive and cloned the old drive to it and installed it in the laptop. when I turned the laptop back on it just started right up and worked. What a difference it has made. Boots up in less that 15 seconds now and works great . the laptop now seems to run much faster. A great buy and great recommendation to use this SSD by B&H staff.

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+

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.
