Description
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.

I buoyed this device for replace an 1 tb HDD for my wife’s laptop, we the difference between this SSD and the HDD same amount but different technology, now she got better performance, fast boot and more longer battery. I put this on a HP 15 laptop and no problem cloning the Windows 10 to this device totally Windows 10 started to work flawlessly without compatibility issues, no bad for the price.

great price easy to install

I replaced the original hard drive and the PNY being considerably smaller I had to modify how it was mounted. I was able to download the Windows10 operating system and had my old Dell XPS running quickly and fast. A good upgrade from the Dell factory H.D.

So far so good! Bought this to upgrade my current 240 gb drive. The price seemed right. l, so I used Macrium Reflect to clone the old drive to this one via SATA cable. Took 40 minutes but worked beautifully: cloned all partitions and created an identical bootable clone. All I had to to do is pop it into my laptop and turn it on.

First SSD I’ve had that failed. This one was in an HP tablet and failed after 11 months of average use. It started giving read errors for a few days and then failed to boot. The file system is intact but if you try to read certain sectors, it goes off-line. I’ll see what the warranty people say as I don’t have the original shipping box. I’ll stick to Samsung after this as I’ve never had the slightest issue with those.

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.

I’ve used quite a few of these having a little to no failure rate. B&H as a great price too!
Clare Marks (verified owner) –

I purchased one recently to replace 5400rpm HDD. Improvement in performance is quite significant. I cannot provide any more information because I have been using it for only 2 weeks. So far I give it 5 stars

I managed to order the correct replacement / upgrade for my Acer Travelmate P459-m, and the PNY 1TB SSD has worked well for me.
Akeem Hammes (verified owner) –
The SSD is fast and reliable. Easy to install
Adele Friesen (verified owner) –
Fine for a cheap boot drive for a cheap bang around laptop. Being it does not have a dram cache it is not suited for large file transfers. But for an OS drive it’s more than fine.

The shipment was delayed way to much, but it is a nice ssd
Weldon Quitzon (verified owner) –
I have installed about a dozen of these drives into older laptops. I have not had any issues at all. In general SSDs will improve the performance over mechanical hard drives, but for top performance you want a drive with the highest IOPS. This one rates high (near 90K for both read and write) compared to most. NOTE: If you motherboard supports M.2 SSDs, that would be faster than the SATA SSDs.

I have been buying PNY products lately because they are competitively priced and deliver great performance. This Internal SSD has not disappointed me. It was easy to install, and it works flawlessly.

I’ve bought and installed several of these PNY CS900 SATA SSD’s of various capacities over the past 3 years, with great reliability and performance. I’ve become so confident in the brand that I have now bought a couple of NVMe models as well.
