Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the CS1311 240 GB Internal SATA III Solid State Drive's performance, ease of installation, and the improvement in boot times it provides. Many appreciate its affordability and the fact that it's a solid-state drive, resulting in a quieter and cooler operating experience compared to traditional hard drives. While some users wish for a larger storage capacity, the overall experience is positive for most. The included software, however, received mixed reviews.

    SSD's are becoming much cheaper and PNY is offering up a pretty decent solution that works for gaming and everyday tasks for a great price.

    I would suggest this to speed up your computer. I had no issues with set up and cloning my old drive. Computer boots up in 30 seconds.

    Price is ok for a small ssd, but quality is not as good as a crucial or samsung drive.

    Had trouble installing Windows 10 Home (1607)

    Couldn't install Windows 10 Home (1607) - returned. Though the drive was recognized, the setup stalled while creating partitions. Tried reinstalling a few times with no luck. Sandisk SSD installed without any problems. BTW, I have used these in the past without any problems. This was the 240 GB version.

    I bought this drive to replace a failing SATA Seagate drive on my wife's PC. I installed the drive and had no problem installing the OS and have had no problems since.

    This drive really improved the startup and shutdown of Windows 10 on my desktop PC. Install of Windows 10 seemed much faster. Warranty on drive is very good.

    Added this drive to my Acer Aspire E15. Made boot up time go to 7 seconds when I added it to an extra 8GB Ram. Great Price for a good drive.

    I connected this drive to my sata/usb cable and used reflect disk copy software to copy the old larger disk to this smaller but faster disk. Startup times are 10x faster for my system once the POST diagnostics finished.

    PNY OPTIMA 240GB

    For the record, I would like to give an honest and truthful opinion of my purchase. I had bought a PNY OPTIMA 240GB solid state drive ~4 years ago, and now it is not working. I had bought a Samsung Pro 256GB solid state drive (~6 years) long before I had bought PNY solid state drive, and now it is still working. ~4 years PNY solid state drive, not working; ~6 years Samsung Pro solid state, still working.
