PNY - CS900 120GB Internal SSD SATA
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 120 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 515 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 490 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Maximum Write Speed: 490 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- SSD Endurance: 40 terabytes (The total amount of data that the solid-state drive (SSD) is able to write before it wears out, as specified by the manufacturer. Endurance is limited because the flash on a SSD has a finite number of cycles that it can complete.)
- Compatibility
- Internal Or External: Internal
- Product Compatibility: Desktop computers, Laptop computers
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)
- Operating System Compatibility: Linux, Mac, Windows
- Bare Drive: 120GB CS900 (Drive is sold without any pre-installed software.)
- Minimum System Requirements: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista™, Windows XP™, Linux, Mac OS X
- Features
- Security Features: None
- Data Encryption: false
- Encryption Algorithm: false (The algorithm standard used to encrypt data on a device.)
- Usage: Everyday computing
- Memory
- Cache Buffer Size: 490 megabytes (The data capacity of the cache buffer (or disk buffer) that acts as temporary memory for the drive. The cache holds the most recently and frequently used data to save the drive the extra step of pulling it from permanent storage every time it's needed, which helps increase the drive's overall speed.)
- NAND Flash Memory Type: 3D NAND (Single Level Cell (SLC) stores 1 bit of data per memory cell; Multi Level Cell (MLC) stores 2 bits per cell, Triple Level Cell (TLC) 3 bits, and Quad Level Cell (QLC) 4 bits. Vertical NAND (V-NAND) or 3D NAND stores more data by layering cells vertically. Similarly, there are 3D MLC, 3D TLC and 3D QLC stacked cells.)
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 3.9 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 2.75 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)

Product Manuals
Q: Can this SSD be mounted in a desktop computer?
A: Sam, Assuming your desktop has an available SATA port on the motherboard and an available SATA power cable connection that can reach the drive bay - yes. You may also need a drive caddy that adapts the 2 1/2 in. SSD drive to a 3 1/2 in. drive bay. There are several different types of these drive caddies around, and some work better than others. I have done this a few times for desktops when replacing a failed hard drive or just upgrading to SSD for performance. It is well worth the cost and effort!
A: Yes there is. However, there's a much better FREE alternative: ToDo Windows Backup Software by EaseUS software. Their website does say that it will run on any OS from Windows XP to Windows 10. I used it and it worked perfectly for cloning my boot drive to this SSD.
A: Yes it should work with any laptop that uses sata
A: From Maximum PC , 25 June 2019 Jeremy Laird says, "...Instead of inserting a DRAM cache between the controller and the NAND, the CS900 can only rely on 32MB of SRAM built into its Phison S11 controller chip. Speaking of DRAM-less SSD controllers, it’s worth noting that such implementations also raise question marks about drive longevity. A DRAM cache doesn’t just boost performance; it also dramatically reduces wear on the flash cells. To PNY’s credit, the CS900 is backed by a reassuring three-year warranty, which is all you can ask for at this price point. But even if PNY is fully co-operative in the event of a failure, you still have the possibility of significant downtime and data loss." ADATA SP550 is a TLC drive, with an SLC cache (2-8GB).
A: You need to activate the drive itself within windows inside Disk Management. It should show as a drive with no partition.
A: hi. look for HD dock stations, i think there's one model at Bestbuy... let me check.... yes, i found it: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-2-bay-hdd-docking-station/6153102.p?skuId=6153102 just make sure it support the HD you have BTY, i don't work or am related to bestbuy, i was just asked if i could help with the question, Best regards.
Q: I have a Desktop, will this still work?
A: Yes I have it inside my pc for booting my operating system.
A: The box shows a 3 year warranty on the 120 SSD
