Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the CS1311 120GB Internal SATA III Solid State Drive's performance, price, and ease of installation. Many appreciate the improved boot times and the transition to a solid-state drive. A common concern, however, was the limited storage capacity of the 120GB model. Some users wished they had opted for a larger capacity drive.

    I bought this ssd to migrate my OS over to improve my boot up time. It does make my computer faster but maybe I should have gone with a larger memory and just move everything over. Either way it is perfect for your OS if you want to improve your boot time

    We had an old laptop that needed to be re-purposed for a research project. The increased speed of the solid state drive gave this old laptop a new life!

    So far no issues with this SSD. Versus Samsung brands which are generally more reliable, PNY is still quite good and they can usually beat Samsung on price.

    Wanted an inexpensive drive for my laptop. This one works perfect for that. Not a lot of drive space, but I am not using that laptop for much, so I didn't need more. No response time issues.

    Usually when a laptop slows it's because of the 5400rpm HD. My 5 year old laptop is as snappy as it was when I installed this SSD.

    Ive bought dozens of these solid state drives, over the last few months. I put this drive and the 240/480 gb ssd's in customer laptops and some mini desktops. I switched to pny from crucial and sandisk. I had a bad batch of crucials which would lag and hang. For 10-45 sec and it wasnt because of the firmware. I just started to get a couple bad sandisk 120/240 ssd's that have doing the same thing. Which is unacceptable when your installing it in a new desktop/laptop for a customer. Ive been using these pny and samsung 840/850 models drives with zero issues.

    I purchased this SSD to get a faster boot time and it did just that and more. My computer boots in under 15 seconds. It's crazy! The only difficulty I had was cloning the drive but that was because it was my first time ever doing it.
