Designed for media storage, use as a boot drive, or as a replacement for an existing drive, the 500GB CS900 SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from PNY Technologies allows users to store and access up to 500GB 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.

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

PNY did not included cloning (migrate) software. When I contact tech support they recommend use free software from internet. My comment that free software my have trojans ads and required you email address, was NOT answered. NOT RECOMENDED

So far I have tried almost every brand and have been always satisfied with the performance which is the case with this drive as well. Since my computer ae all a little older, SSD’s improve the performance of older pc’s and laptops in a big way.

I have several of these SSDs. They work fine as system drives in multiple Windows 10 computers, and storage drives internally and in external drives. I don’t know that more expensive models could improve on it. The good pricing on them makes them unbeatable for me!

This M.2 works great and is a bargain at this price. This is NOT an NVME! So order it only if you need an M.2 Sata III.
