PNY - CS1100 480GB Internal SATA III Solid State Drive for Laptops
- Key Specs
- 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.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Can you download Acronis from PNY if you buy this drive?
A: I don't know if you get Acronis for free but there is a solution. Go to http://www.aomeitech.com/ and download their free version of "Backupper" It has the same features as Acronis.
A: Hello; this is a external drive not a internal drive, so it will not fit into any computer or laptop, as you need to purchase a internal Solid State Drive.
A: Yes
A: 7mm with a spacer to make it 9mm
Q: will this work in a dell desktop
A: no and no. I used some velcro tape to mount the drive, and free software called "Reflect" and had no problems. You will also need a spare cable
Q: Would this work in an old (2009) Dell Latitude ?
A: You need to look up the specific specifications for the model of Dell you have. Most laptops in 2009 came with SATA drives. As long as your laptop uses a SATA drive interface, the PNY CS1100 should work. That said, unless the computer has a SATA II/III interface, you will not be able to transfer data at the full rated speeds of the CS1100. You might want to consider putting the money for the upgrade toward a newer computer instead of upgrading a 6 year old computer.
A: I converted the drive to an external drive with use of a case and I haven't had any trouble using this for storage with a Mac.
