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.

This is a fast SSD, not the fastest but fast enough for most users.
Lee Grimes (verified owner) –
Works as advertised, no install or usage issues. Nice buy.
Madison Krajcik (verified owner) –
Just got around to installing this drive and nothing will see it.
Grady Lehner (verified owner) –
No problem, works perfectly
Lula Kling (verified owner) –
I use this store games, photos, videos, anything that needs fast access. I wouldn’t recommend this a main drive due to lack of DRAM cache. If you don’t do a lot of R/W to your drives this is perfect.

What’s there to say this was easy to install and after formatting works well.
Beaulah Harber (verified owner) –
upgraded and renewed an old laptop of mine with this harddrive and it works great!
Makenzie Brakus (verified owner) –
I live these SSDs and they are absolutely at the right price.

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

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

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.

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
Gunnar Becker (verified owner) –
It does what I need it to do and had a good price.
Anjali Wunsch (verified owner) –
Works fast, is stable and reliable, easy to setup on a laptop or desktop with out issues
Wilford Wehner (verified owner) –
I should have purchased 2 of these. Works great. Just what my computer needed.

I use these 120GB SSDs for my virtual machine installs using Proxmox. VM OS installs do not need much space and these are perfect for the low power draw. Hovering around $21, these are perfect. I have many PNY SSD drives still around from years ago and only displaying 7% wearout being on 24/7. Inexpensive, quality drives.
Noemi Gleason (verified owner) –
For a SATA SSD, this thing is fast and efficient!
Jessyca Thiel (verified owner) –
So it’s a drive and it works, yay. But I learned the hard way that it won’t work as an internal boot drive in older Macs, only as external. Something to do with the Macs using Sata II. Apparently this is Sata III only and therefore not compatible.

I used this to speed up a laptop it fit the bill.

I built my first gaming PC recently and this puppy his loads everything insanely fast!
