Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had this SD installed for about 5 months now and it has been great. It is fast and reliable. The startup of time for Windows 10 is super fast. I have been very happy with my purchase. If you have an older PC and want to improve its performance, this is one of the cheapest upgrades you can do. The only downside is having to move your data. It was worth the trouble.

This telephone is easy to use and has many features that every person can enjoy.

Installed in a 4 yr old dell Laptop that was running slow. Boot time is now less than a minute and everything works great. Would highly recommend the change over a standard SATA drive. Only negative is no software was included to clone your existing drive. You will have to go download some 3rd party shareware for that but there are plenty of options out there.

Pretty decent SSD at a reasonable price. Had no issues installing it and is runing decently.

I very much enjoyed this product. Easy to install, and has been working ever since.

The PNY CS900 500GB Internal SSD SATA has truly transformed my computer's functionality, providing a significant upgrade in speed and performance. Its straightforward installation process seamlessly integrated the SSD into my system, instantly improving its boot-up time and overall responsiveness. The generous storage capacity has allowed me to store a multitude of files without any compromise in speed, ensuring a seamless and efficient computing experience. Its reliability and affordability make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to enhance their computer's performance without breaking the bank.

I've got no complaints with this SSD, particularly when it's on sale. SATA may be a little old these days, and I'd never use it as a boot drive by choice, but I have noticed that it is very good at making older laptops at least usable. I think I've bought three of these things by now, all for laptops being used by family and friends. The sudden speed increase makes them happy, and nobody ends up complaining about the $30 price tag in the process. While you could get an SSD from eBay for cheaper, those are all sketchy off-brands; so I think this is one of the best ones I've found so far for a balance between between "cheap" and "If this breaks, I could get it warrantied easily". So, I'd recommend it for sure if you're sticking this in a computer you care about.

I used this to upgrade a laptop that is only a year old. The performance increase is amazing! It was easy to install and the software I used to clone the original HD was easy to use. The new SSD works EXACTLY like the original HD except for being about SIX times Faster!

Great drive used to upgrade a little brick PC. It took the image well and has been chugging along with no issues.

Bought 2 of these drives to replace in a laptop and Desktop computer to help speed things up. This makes BOTh a bit faster as they don't have the lengthy read times that the regular hard drives did. I'm happy with both of them and how they are working. At less than $30 dollars a piece this makes a reasonably priced option to speed up older computers. I'm skilled in replacing hard drives so for me it was an EASY job with a Sabrent Hard disk Drive cloning machine! For those that aren't well it may be harder for them.

Second purchase of the PNY SSD for this 2011 ASUS I5. The older SSD has lasted and still available for use. However, this model is lighter and the performance is on par with this year of computer. This cost was less which was another factor and seems to be just as good as the higher priced models. If you are on a budget this is one to go with

This SSD is outstanding. Great price, easy to install. I put it in an 8 year old laptop and wanted to erase everything and start over. Could not believe how fast it installed and the laptop is better than new.

This 500GB ssd drive is the 2nd PNY SSD drive that I purchased & own from Best Buy. My satisfaction with the 1st one motivated me to buy my 2nd one... along with the great sales price! It's compact, fast, reliable & easy to install. No more waiting 5-15 minutes for my pc to boot up, now it takes just seconds! Sweet! I highly recommend!

I bought this particular drive because I was told if you buy a PNY you get Acronis True Image free......that's not the case...PNY customer support told me "not with this model". Anyways, I downloaded Macrium Reflect free version and it worked flawlessly to clone my old drive. Super simple. Hook up new drive to PC via usb dock, usb dongle or sata on motherboard, then clone old drive to new drive, then remove old drive and replace with new drive. Done. My biggest issue was getting windows to see the new drive, in this day and age you would think Windows 10 would just automatically assign it a drive letter but it doesn't, you have to go into disk management and actually tell it to do that.

Installed by the Geek Squad to replace a faulty hard drive. Surprisingly great price which is why I went with it. And so far so good. Plenty of space and doing what it's supposed to.

Good price, speed is okay. I would say, PNY is reliable because I must buy over mix of 10 PNY SSD. The older model comes with clone software and new ones doesnt. The larger capacity seems faster in hard drive benchmark, when compare to 120Gb.

PNY 2.5 inch solid state drives have always proven reliable for over 10 years of purchasing this brand. The performance for the price point to upgrade systems with older spinning hard drives is great when you don't have an M.2 or newer option. They are great for expandable storage as well. Highly recommend.

This device was recommended by my Geek Squad technician as an improvement to my older laptop's performance (the device had a traditional rotating disc memory). The team installed this solid-state storage overnight, reinstalled the OS, and I was up and running. The laptop performance has been improved ever since.

So far so good. I had an old 2012 laptop that kept encountering a critical error and restarting. Replacing the HDD with this SSD seems to have got it functional again. I also found another stick of RAM I could swap in, bringing it from 6GB to 8GB, and I updated the BIOS. I was even able to upgrade to Windows 10 even after knowing this computer failed to upgrade from 7 to 10 years ago when they offered the initial upgrade. Resource-heavy tasks that used to take a long time and risk a crash now happen quick. The boot up and shut down times are almost instantaneous.

It's not a fancy SSD. No 3D NAND, no DRAM Cache, but it does have 64 layers of TLC. However, it lacks more advanced functionalities you'd find on the Crucial or Samsung counterparts on the market. So if you want a very GOOD 2.5" SSD, you're gonna have to go for one of those two. But if you need something cheap to store your steam games, ultra high-def videos, or something just to slap in a cheap laptop, this will do it just fine. The read speeds are pretty consistent, getting over the 500MB/s mark pretty consistently for both short and long transfers. Write speeds are, however, where this drive constantly fell short. But that's expected with a DRAM cache, and it was still faster than most spinning drives at around 150MB/s. This drive is being used in a laptop with an M.2 Gen3 NVME boot drive, and this was added as secondary storage. Games that normally would have issues reading on a hard drive such as GTA 5, Gmod, etc seem to load exceptionally quick in this configuration.
