Slower than a hard drive
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Its slower than a hard drive. Read speed tops out at 37MB/s write at 34MB/s. Bought it to help with a project and its slower then the hard drive it was supposed to replace. Not sure what the problem with this one is, but its junk. I've attached screenshots of what windows says to verify my situation. I have other drives and they all work well. Won't buy another PNY drive again. Its not my pc.. Threadripper 3960x here.

Good SSD
||Posted .I purchased this SSD to replace a 256GB Adata that was about five years old. It was still working just fine, but I wanted a little more space so that I could have multiple games installed simultaneously. Installation, configuration, and OS install were easy peazy, but then again, I'm an old tech with 20+ years of IT experience. Its a good drive. Read/Write speeds are comparable to Samsung. If you are one of those people who isn't bothered by the fact that it doesn't say Samsung on it, its a good SSD at a good price. Mine is proudly displayed behind the tempered glass side of my NZXT S340 Elite case. It looks great.

Good for any project.
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This SSD was on sale when I purchased it. I was in need of something close to 500 gigs. I wasnt even sure a 480 existed. Its an odd choice of storage size but it was close enough. I have had no issues yet in the project. Its able to load my storage as quick as possible and is in replace of an old ide hhd with the help of converter cables.

Budget storage from a brand you know
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Fine so far. Honestly is what it is: budget storage from a brand you know. Will update if they die, but I put six of them in a server in RAID 10 and will be adding two more. One star off mostly with a finger pointed at Dell, as their servers are picky about the drives and since this drive is not certified you will get alerts and alarms about storage.

External Connection to SSD for transfer
Posted .Setup was easy, just download the software and use a USB to SATA adapter cable to copy HD to SSD (SSD was connected externally) and swap drives once completed. I was surprised at the ease (do have substantioal PC experience, but just follow the instructions and you should do fine). Once installed, the PC will bark at the drive size change, updates the BIOS for drive size and reboots and continues to work as normal. Brings a slow machine back to life. Pictures show 2 types of cables, USB 2 (2 connectors for additional power for SSD) and USB 3 (single USB connector, Blue). Also shown is an optical drive tray conversion, replace the exiting CD/DVD tray with adapter for the SSD for laptop or desktop if you don't have open bays to add.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI own a Lenovo Y50 it has a 1 tb sata drive If I bring the pc in and have this installed are you able to transfer my files and programs from my old drive to my new drive. When I purchased the pc from Lenovo it did not include a backup disk.
Asked by ToddC.
- A:Answer If you have a desktop you can pull out your old drive and plug it into it, then use acronis to pick what files you want to add to the ssd. Install the new ssd and boot your laptop up.

Q: QuestionWould this HD need a mount/rack for a standard sized desktop case? For reference the case is "Corsair Graphite Series 230T Orange with Window Compact Mid-Tower Computer Case (CC-9011038-WW)"
Asked by Bob.
- A:Answer I can’t speak definitively, but you would most likely need a 2.5” to 3.5” (bay) adapter. Alternatively, we use a bit of Velcro on iMacs to secure an SSD when retrofitting them with a smaller drive. Look on the specs of the model you provided to ascertain if in fact it has a full-size 3.5” drive.

Q: QuestionWhat is the endurance or total TBW on this drive? It does not state in specs.
Asked by danielles.
- A:Answer I don't know much about SSDs but I'm building a few PCs for a local church. No vital or private information will be on them so I did't care about longevity. Mine works OK so far and I got them at a good price. I've heard SSD's are not immortal but in my circumstances it doesn't matter that much. If the stuff you'll be putting on your SSD are vital, confidential, or irreplaceable please ask somebody who knows more about them than I do. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving
