Very stable and dependable, i use these drives for my linux distros and they run really fast!! Takes only 2 minutes to wipe a ssd as compared to
over an hour for a mechanical drive. So far so good, I like them.

My 4 yrs old Asus laptop hard drive crashed and I was sad, then I looked at best buy and found this Pny ssd 120 Gig(cheapest one $50ish). Ive had no problems with this ssd. It has made my old laptop very fast.

Battery life improvement, laptop runs cooler. Programs install much faster. I actually wish I bought a drive with more physical storage. With upgrade soon. No untoward issues to report with this unit however.

The drive works great, super fast and consumes low power.
Just remember no matter what the instructions say, it will not work properly unless you do a full partition and format first (quick format will not work). Enjoy!

I purchased this to go along with a new computer build. After using a 5400RPM HDD for years, I purchased this to be used as an operating system SSD. This paired with a 7200RPM HDD is a fantastic upgrade for me.

As my laptop is not brand new, I found a very easy and non expensive solution to make it fast: replace the old hard drive with a solid state one. Not only will be faster, also the battery will last longer!

Dropped this SSD into an external case & connected to 16GB ShieldTV as device storage. Working great, speeds are close to internal. Pleasant surprise for a budget drive like this. Would def buy this again

Had my old Mac Pro in for repair 4 times in 6 months and decided it was time to purchase a new one. This MAC is much thinner and lighter, and though I only use it for personal emails and to research information, I can say it is faster and easier to use.

Used this on a PC build as the OS drive. Worked like a champ. This is my 2nd time using PNY 120gb SSD. 1st was on a LGA 1150 build. 2nd was on a LGA 1151 build. Both OS boot up in less than 30 seconds.

I have used other brands of SSD drives before and this one was painless to install and use. I have had excellent luck with PNY over the years so this was a no brainer!! Now my system is much faster!

Haven't used much as its still new but very quick and good amount of storage. Using for OS and programs with a 2tb traditional hdd for storage. Win10 pro boots up and ready to use in under 15 seconds.

Got this on sale for $40.and it was well worth it. I see a noticeable decrease in boot time and programs load faster. The available software made it easy to clone and replace my boot drive with this one.

I used this SSD to replace a faulty HDD for a client of mine.
I was amazed to see that it would only take 5 seconds for the laptop to fully boot with this PNY SSD.
I highly recommend it.

Worked right out of the box - no muss, no fuss. Came with Acronis but wanted to load a fresh OS on it. Would be nice to have gotten a bigger drive but this was plenty big for what I needed to do

Bought this to change out in one of my laptops to see if I would get a good speed increase. Easy install. Reinstalled windows 10 and worked flawlessly. Much faster than the normal laptop hard drive.

I was building a computer for my son. It's a good drive for a beginner. Not as fast as the higher end SSDs.
