Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this mainly as a storage device via an External Enclosure. It is incredibly fast, over 300/mbs. Well worth it for the price compared to HDDs.

Installed this in a 4 year old desktop. And wow was it worth it. Power up time is significantly faster, it made a big difference in app start up time especially with bigger apps like photoshop etc. Before PS would take about 15-20 seconds to start up and now it's almost instant. Software install time also significantly faster. The switch was like going from dial up to cable internet. Everything is overall faster. I never would have thought the hard drive made that much difference. From now on I will only use solid state drives!

Great special price that Best Buy had, even though its only a 240GB drive, need them bigger, but works great and got the speed!

This SSD installed easily and file transfers were quick. Drive is fast and stable so far. For the price you can't go wrong.

Fast, fast, fast! For the money you can't beat these SSDs. Local availability, quick upgrade, fast read write. I amaze people all the time by putting one of these in their computers. It's great and the new generation SSD still pushes the boundaries of the SATA protocol. Look no further for a great SSD backed by a great warranty. Have an old laptop you want to revitalize? This is a great option. My sister in law had a 7 year old MacBook Pro we put this in, and she acts like she has a new Mac.

This drive met my performance requirements, The price was right. Easy : Installed formatted and my OS is flying on it.

This is great drive at a great price. I installed Win7 and then upgraded to Win10 without any issue. My computer now boots and runs great. The drive did come with a SW to clone the drive but I went from 1TB drive to 256GB drive the SW did not go well. SW actually wasted lots of my time. I wanted to see if it can copy over programs that I need and nothing else but it failed. I had multiple partitions on my 1TB drive, I only wanted to clone "C" but it was not properly able to do it. I ended up reinstalling everything. Drive is great but I am taking one star off due to the no so smart SW that I was hoping to use for data transfer. The SW was also not full featured SW.

It used to be that you would notice a difference between a premium and low-price SSD. This drives changes that. It isn't as fast as the top performers in synthetic benchmarks, but it's close enough that you'd be hard pressed to notice any real world differences between this and an 850 Evo. I have used around 10 of these drives in builds and have had what I believed to be a compatibility issue as the drive worked fine in another system. Not going to blame that on PNY.

Fast, cheaper than Samsung and still can hold programs and operating system. Very pleased with the boot time.

This is the second SSD that I purchased from PNY. the first one was last year and what a difference on booting time and application launching yet it lagged a little on Photoshop and video apps. For my second laptop I decided to get this drive that yields faster response and I got it. Great price compared to Samsung or Sandisk, I used to have PNY CF cards for my camera and also have PNY flash drives so far they are reliable. A+ in my book!

I purchased the PNY 240GB SSD to replace the factory installed HDD in my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. Acronis True Image software is included with the purchase of this item and made cloning my existing HDD quick and easy. You must have an HDD SATA external hard drive disk enclosure case and cable to accomplish the image transfer. Once the image transfer was complete I easily removed the HDD and installed the SSD. The system startup used to take approx. a minute to boot up but now only requires no more than 20 seconds. Read and write speeds for making backup copies is remarkable especially when using USB 3.0 ports and drives. My system operates at a noticeably lower temperature than with the original HDD. I immediately noticed an increased improvement in system performance with the newly installed SSD. The new drive produces no sound whatsoever and operates at a reduced power draw resulting in increased energy efficiency. Overall this drive has exceeded my expectations and was a worthwhile investment. It is backed by a generous three year manufacturer warranty. PNY is a leading manufacturer of SSDs so that combined with the great deal offered by Best Buy made this an easy purchase decision.

I purchased this SSD to replace the main hard drive in my 7 year old computer after the old drive not the dust. I kick myself for not doing this upgrade earlier. Just as you've heard before, upgrading to a solid state drive as your main boot drive (OS drive) improves your computers performance greatly. Computer boots fully in about 15 seconds (windows 10). Files and programs open almost instantly. Great drive do the price.

Installed on a Dell Latitude E5470. Once installed and Windows 10 loaded, the laptop boot up within 7 seconds. I removed a Toshiba 500Gb 7200RPM Mechanical drive from the laptop that made the i7 laptop feel sluggish. I have the same ssd in my main gaming rig for over 3 years running strong. BF4 and Gears 4 load quickly. 204GB is barely enough for those two games so beware.

This is the first SSD I've ever owned and it is really fast compared to a normal hard drive. It used to take a couple of minutes for Windows 10 to boot and be in a usable form but now it takes around 40 seconds on average to completely restart my computer and have an internet browser up. Overall it is a great buy, especially for the price, and I'd recommend it to anyone that doesn't yet own some sort of SSD.

Plugged it into the SATA III port on my desktop PC, Was too small to mount in the 3.5" drive bay, so just suspended it from the power and SATA connectors, as it is very light weight. That allowed for good air circulation around the drive. Did a clean install of Windows 10 and all was great from there. The SSD is much faster than the old 75GB Raptor HD it replaced. Would definitely buy again.

Easy to install. Fast Hard Drive. Reliable, excellent product.

Speeds up windows load time from over a minute to under 8 seconds. Great speed great price. Only caution to others if you used your upgrade to Windows 10 you'll have to buy it as the upgrade gives you no product key. And you'll more than likely have to re-associate you programs on your current HDD unless it's small enough to clone over to this. No complaints.

Bought a couple of new desktop computers for our office. Lots of RAM but also with SATA III drives. S-L-O-W-W-W. Bought two of these drives thinking they'd improve performance at least a little, and the price was definitely right. Cloned the SATA drives to these, fired them up and cut boot times from 71 seconds down to 14 seconds. Unbelievable!

I bought This to only download my games on and it works great!, A lot better then having them on your C drive taking up space and not playing as well as having them on a SSD drive. I got this for $ 59.99 on sale and I like it, I have never had anything go wrong with PNY Products they seem to be pretty dependable for the money you spend.

This product even in an 8+year old pc boosted the pc's performance so much I am running Windows 10 64bit with NVidia 610 graphics card (graphics card purchased from BestBuy also) and 4gb of memory this pc was slow granted it still is but with adding the SSD it boosted speed and performance so much I couldn't have asked for a better product.
