PNY - 480GB Internal SSD SATA
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 480 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: 550 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 500 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Maximum Write Speed: 500 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- SSD Endurance: 200 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
- 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: 480GB 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.)
- Dimension
- 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
A: 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: Is this compatible with MacBook Pro 2012 ?
A: Yes, was able to swap out spinning drive for this one, just had to use the removalable posts on old hard drive and add to ssd, fit perfectly, then just press run recovery mode if you are doing a fresh OS install
A: 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.
A: No
Q: would this be compatible with a dell Inspiron 530s from 2007?
A: I don’t see why not. I’m using in Dell precision t1700
Q: What is the endurance or total TBW on this drive? It does not state in specs.
A: 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
Q: Hi, it is compatible with a Laptop HP 15-AN001la? How do I check for it.?
A: Yes if your motherboard has a SATA connection then it will work.
