Great budget DRAMless SSD if reliable
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I bought this SSD when it was on sale for a great deal. I got the PNY CS900 240GB version, about ~223GB actual usable space. Made in Taiwan. Does not come with anything else, no screws, no cables, not even a paper manual/warranty sheet. It's budget DRAMless SSD with a Phison S11 controller, but it's fairly fast for most common tasks. Benchmarks rate it at 562 MB/s sequential read and 495 MB/s sequential write, so it's just slightly slower on writes. It's great for speeding up older computers that are using hard drives. The main question is its reliability as there are few reviews of it dying after a few months. Will update the review if it dies.

Great SSD!
||Posted .Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This has been a great SSD so far. It is not the largest capacity but it is fast and has worked without any issues whatsoever. I have used it on my desktop and with a Raspberry Pi 4 and it has been flawless with both. If you need an inexpensive (it is definitely not cheap, it is built very well and looks great) and stable 2.5" SSD then this is a great option.

So far so good, fast, and cheap!
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.I put two of these in a raid and striped them. They run super fast and I'm very happy. As always with SSD's backup frequently just in case. They can be hit or miss. Luckily I've never had a miss on any SSD's I've purchased. Same goes with these babies!

So far so good
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Bought to boost an old laptop for a 10 year for school. Didn’t have cloning software but was able to use EaseUS. Speed is as fast as my older Samsung Evos in MacBooks. Will see how long it last. Picture of speed uploaded. ASUS a few years old with an i3 so no thrills but for $30 it’s like a new machine.

Q: QuestionIs it only for laptops, or could it be inside a desktop?
Asked by LarryMcL.
- A:Answer Any drive can be used inside of a desktop as long as it has a sata power and sata data cable, which this does. It only needs a mounting bracket if there are not any 2.5" mounting holes in your case. Most Harddrive sleds have 2.5" mounting holes, but I would double check to be sure. If not, you can always but a 2.5" to 2.5" drive adapter. +

Q: QuestionSamsung SSDs have a robust data migration software package in the bundle that makes installing a new Samsung SSD pretty easy. The PNY internal SSD looks to be good value for the money, but does it come with a good data migration package?
Asked by Warpeus.
- A:Answer It comes with Acronis and I used it for my drive. It worked amazingly well. It didn't create any unnecessary partitions like some of the other softwares that I've tried using before. I highly recommend this drive and software.

Asked by Ravi.

Asked by Dbigunit.
