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.

    The drive is high quality. Comes with migration software for easy transfer. Faster than SanDisk and performs wonderfully. Company and most products made in NJ so always good to buy USA. I have used a lot of SSD's, PNY is now the only one I use.

    I eventually converted all my computers disk to Ssds and this one is the 5th SSD I got from Best Buy for one of my pentium dual core machine and it boosted the performance of my machine like Nything adding 54$ drive saved me 350$ Upgrade.

    Affordable, Great Performance, and Include Acronis for disk cloning. As a side note... After using Acronis to migrate my data, the system would fail to boot once i removed the old drive. Not sure why, but I dont blame PNY for that.

    I picked up the PNY 120GB SSD for a secondary laptop I "inherited" from a friend in order to enhance its performance. It worked superbly. Fast as blazes and exceedingly simple to install and to migrate data onto, I am as pleased as punch.

    The SSD is fast , Windows loads to desktop in 7 seconds . Price of $45 is a good deal if your looking for an upgrade . I purchased this drive about 2 months ago and i couldn't be happier with it. My only regret is not buying 2 of them.

    Installed this into my laptop. Saw huge speed improvements from my HDD. If you're just looking for something to speed up an old laptop this will make a big difference. Just don't expect to install much more than an os on it.

    Easy to use, very fast, very quiet, runs much cooler than a conventional harddrive, and weighs much less too. A definite must have when upgrading any computer. The price was very good as well. 5-stars for BestBuy and PNY !!!

    Great solid state drive for the money. It has a low capacity, but is very cheap and incredibly snappy. Windows boots in 20 seconds with this as the boot drive, and programs load nearly instantly. Highly recommended

    I purchased this because it was in Stock and at the right price. Super fast performance in my gaming laptop, everything that a Sata III hard drive should be. Would buy another, great for the price!

    For the price the reads and writes are absolutely superb and for the price this ssd is essentially a no brainer. And if you wanted to take the PNY sticker off it is not hard at all with a hairdryer.

    SO i have a crucial SSD and this one in another computer. The Crucial one is a bit faster and optimized compared to this one (both computers are the same specs), but its negligible. I liked it and i got it for $50 on sale. So i can't complain.

    I bought this to use as a boot drive for the computer I bought at the same time. It installed easy and after I remembered to format it, (Still cannot believe I forgot to do that), I cloned the drive of the computer so it would become my boot drive. Computer boots fast and was well worth the price.

    Breathed New Life into a 2009 MacBook Pro

    The internal HDD finally failed on my MacBook Pro, so I upped the RAM and installed the SSD - it's a night and day difference in terms of performance. The system goes from power off to login in under 10 seconds. Apps open almost instantaneously. If you have an older Apple machine (2007 - 2011/12) you can extend it's life by adding memory and an SSD like this one. I recommend PNY because the are one of the most trusted brands in computer memory and flash storage so it makes sense that their SSDs are up to the same quality standards.

    I was impressed that this inexpensive SSD is as fast and as reliable as those costing more than twice as much. 2 million hours for a failure rate and over 500 MBps read and write.
