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.

    Such a great upgrade for my aging hp laptop. It spread everything up. Installed perfectly and smoothly. I should have bought one sooner.

    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.

    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.

    I've purchased many SSDs in the past and have never been happier than with these. I purchased two of them and set them up in a RAID 1 configuration. I would have purchased 4-6 in total, but my motherboard only supports SATA-3 speeds on two ports. I'm able to transfer at about 1 GB/sec, so I'm very happy. I have attached a screenshot that shows a performance comparison between my 2x500GB mechanical drive RAID 1, my 2x240GB SSD RAID 1, and a 4GB RAMDisk with 1600mhz RAM
