Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used several PNY ssd's and have had no issues with them. I bought this to upgrade the failed mechanical drive in my father-in-laws HP desktop with Windows 10. These are priced right, especially on sale, to use a boot drives on any machine. His desktop has a large secondary, mechanical drive otherwise I would have gotten a larger SSD if it was the only drive. I have used PNY ssd's in upgrades to Mac's and Windows machines, both desktop and laptop and have had no issues using these drives as replacements. The drives are fast and well priced, especially when you can get them on sale. The use of Acronis is a plus when you need to clone the drive. I have cloned several over the years and the upgraded machines all just started back up with no issues.

Impressive speeds so far. Notebook only takes a couple seconds now to start up. Best of all, my programs start up much more quickly now and overall is more snappy. Hard to believe the difference between this and mechanical drives.

I bought this solid state drive to install in one of my kids' aging school laptops for distance learning that was still running a mechanical hard drive. I'd seen remarks that the performance gain wasn't all that much. In my experience, this isn't the case and it's a great upgrade for an old computer. Despite having a fair amount of RAM and a decent processor, the computer crawled on boot-up and was slow to start applications or browse. Since dropping in this drive, the boot-up time dropped from over 2 minutes to less than 20 seconds, and performance gains are great - applications now respond very quickly. Even battery life has improved, as the computer runs cooler and doesn't need to use the fan as much and there are no mechanicals in the hard drive to eat up battery life.

I used this item to replace a failing mechanical drive for a customer of mine. The capacity was perfect for his use (Web surfing, watching news, email) since he doesn't save much on the machine. It gave his old Toshiba laptop a reason to go on :D As for installation, it took less than 5 minutes to install (your mileage may vary, some of the latter generations of laptops can be a project to swap a hard drive), and approx 15-20 to clone the contents of the old drive (roughly a total of around 90-100GB) and I think 1/3 of that was just waiting for the cloning software to load. Fortunately the machine had 2 hard drive bays which sped up the process. If you have a machine that gets a lot of use but doesn't have a lot saved on it, I highly recommend this for a replacement drive, great bang for your buck.

Winfield boots up superfast. All my applications run flawless compared to my old hard drive

Met my needs for replacement ssd for affordable price, especially since I needed to replace 3 hard drive failures over a short time. A cost effective alternative with many storage size alternatives.

Easy to install, easy to format, and easy to load an OS onto from a USB thumb drive. The right size for the right price. This SSD has the performance I was looking for. Make sure you have an adapter if the install calls for one!

I've purchased about 2 dozen of these drives, both in the 240 and 120 GB sizes. The capacity you purchase will depend on what you are going to use it in. When I refurb older computers I use the 120's as they are inexpensive and increase the performance up to 5 times. The 240s are more versatile for regular use in your own machine. I haven't had any go bad, but they don't appear to come with performance-enhancing software like the SanDisk, WD or Samsung models, although they do offer firmware upgrades on their website. I feel that right now, these drives occupy the "sweet spot" in the market for the value based customers.

Used daily, works great. Still holding after several years.

Installed into Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. Easily done and improved boot time 4X while also improving performance. Also, facilitated High Sierra Upgrade because the OS is optimized for Flash storage.

Changed my lap top hard disc drive to the PNY Solid State Drive. The difference was night and day. My original hard drive was an Western Digital. It works fine but disc hard drives do not work as fast as a Solid State. I was able to download a WD free clone program and made a clone copy of my lap top drive. The drive was a 500 gig and my PNY was 240 gig. The original only had about 80 gig used on it, so the WD clone program copied it with no problem. It did take about 30-40 minutes. It I purchase another PNY drive I can have a back up in case something happens to my drive. Easily worth the investment. I am using my old WD as an external storage drive. Purchased an SATA case for the drive. Nothing wasted. I've owned PNY drives for over 2 years. Reliable for sure.

Economical and reliable. These are the best choice if you need an SSD for those projects that are not critical. I used it for a a test environment and it fits the bill.

Cant go wrong with a pny brand and they make great products. Well see how it handles 24/7 usage as we go. Installed windows 10 enterprise as i run bluestack emulators.

While on the small side capacity wise nowadays this PNY 240GB SSD can often be found at good sale prices. It works fine, is faster than spinning rust, and sips only a little power. Keep it under half full and avoid excess file writes and you should get a long life. Breathes a bit of life into older slower PCs, have used these a few times just for that reason.

Bought this SSD to speed up my 8 year old desktop build that was operating on a 1 TB HDD. I use the SSD to run the OS and core programs, while the 1 TB HDD is largely for storage of files, videos, music, and pictures. For the price, this is an excellent SSD. It was an easy plug and play assembly (once I bought the adapter to fit my desktop rails) that worked from the get go once formatted. I had some trouble transferring my OS over to the drive, but that's no knock against the SSD itself. At 240 GB it's a great size for an OS install for a new build. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an SSD to bring their desktop into the 21st century!

PNY solid state drives work fast and flawless and also include a link for Acronis software. Without it you can't clone your old drive into this new one. SanDisk doesn't offer such a feature at all. Always go PNY.

This makes an excellent boot drive as any SSD would provide a huge speed upgrade over a classic spinning drive and 240GB is plenty for Windows 10. I can't believe how prices have dropped.

Purchased this product for a hard drive that crashed on my laptop. This was a super easy install and so far the product is working well. It is like we have a whole new laptop. Great value for this product.

Picture this - I had just bought a 2nd hand laptop and it stumped me what the problem was - I had a 1 tb hd, core i7 processor and 12 gigs of ram. and. still. really. slow. Even after taking to a computer shop, it still was quite laggy, and my brother actually recommended me to upgrade to SSD. Albeit the storage space is smaller, the performance MAKES UP FOR IT TENFOLD. Trust me, making the switch to SSD was a game-changer, and this was super easy to clone my current drive on, and install - took about maybe about 3 hours for the whole process. And now my laptop does not take 3 hours to boot.

Old desktop slowing down & BB had a good deal on this SSD. Ordered on-line with pick up at local BB. Very easy. 1) MB has two SATA ports for HDD and DVD. Picked up the 2 Port SATA III PCI-e card to add port for this SDD. Install card + firmware. 2) install SSD. SSD has two cable connectors. Instructions not clear on this but you connect SATA cable to small connector and power cable to large connector. 3) follow instructions to backup & transfer data; update boot drive in BIOS & presto, in business. Very nice speed boost with this SSD with nominal cost. Should add a few years to life of this desktop! Recommended.
