Doesn't work the way I'd like it to, claims not enough memory.

Works well for what it is, replacement drive for an aging laptop

works on Acer aspire One d257. 1 GB ram. Intel atom.

Didn’t work on my pc, it broke the motherboard apparently.

Plugged it into my PC and didn't work. Also plugged it into a separate PC and it still didn't work.

Failed after 8 months. Bought in May, failed in January

Failed after two weeks of usage. Failed after two weeks of usage.

this pny is poor and no good at all. any one not to buy one at all.

Not recommended, it freezes all the time, I have to reboot and lot all the work done.

A nothing fancy SSD for a nothing fancy laptop. I've used these low-end PNYs in other devices, all still working fine. The MTBF and TBW ratings are more than adequate, the performance increases over a traditional hard drive are very significant. Reboots windows in under 20 seconds, woot! Also kudos to Macrium reflect free version. With it, a blank dvd for boot media, and a USB 3.0 flash drive to hold the drive image, the swap took about 90 minutes -- most of which was spent "carefully" cracking open the laptop. Boo Lenovo! 13 screws and I still had to pry/pop it open! Why???

I got my drive yesterday to replace the original WD hard drive that failed after a drop. It went in easy, booted up and loaded Windows 11 with no issues. Working great for a very reasonable price - thanks Best Buy!

So far so good. I have replace the hard drives in two laptops and one desktop with these drives and everything setup and worked flawlessly. I did reinstall the OS on the laptops in about 1/4 of the time it would usually take. On the desktop I used a cloning software to transfer the OS and files to this SSD. It worked flawlessly and all three are now much quicker on boot and in general than they were with traditional HDs.

As an avid tech enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to test the PNY CS900 500GB Internal SSD, and I must say, it pleasantly surprised me with its outstanding performance, reliability, and affordability. PNY might not be as well-known as some top-tier brands like Samsung, but their CS900 SSD proves that they can deliver a product that competes toe-to-toe with the big players. Performance-wise, the PNY CS900 is a champ! The SATA III interface allows for fast data transfer speeds, reducing boot times and significantly improving overall system responsiveness. Whether it's loading large applications, copying files, or running multiple tasks simultaneously, this SSD didn't disappoint. In fact, it felt just as snappy and efficient as some of the more expensive SSDs out there. The build quality is another aspect that impressed me. The PNY CS900 features a sturdy construction that feels durable and reliable. Despite being a budget-friendly SSD, it doesn't feel flimsy or cheap in any way. PNY has clearly taken care to deliver a product that can withstand regular use and perform consistently over time. One of the standout features of the PNY CS900 is its affordability. Compared to other SSDs on the market, especially those from top-tier brands, the CS900 offers an excellent value proposition. It provides great performance and reliability without breaking the bank. This makes it a fantastic option for budget-conscious users who want to experience the benefits of upgrading to an SSD without splurging on a premium brand. However, I'd like to point out that the PNY CS900 lacks some of the additional features that you might find in more expensive SSDs, such as hardware-based encryption or advanced power management options. But for the price point and the performance it delivers, these can be seen as minor trade-offs. In conclusion, the PNY CS900 500GB Internal SSD is a commendable product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a cost-effective storage upgrade. It proves that PNY can produce an SSD that competes with top-tier brands in terms of performance and build quality. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of some high-end SSDs, its affordable price and reliable performance make it a worthy choice. If you're on a budget and need a reliable and speedy storage solution, the PNY CS900 will not disappoint. Pros: Impressive performance, on par with top-tier brands Solid and durable build quality Affordable price, great value for money Cons: Lacks some advanced features found in more expensive SSDs

This is a Fast reliable and inexpensive laptop ssd.

Switching from an old SATA drive to a new SSD SATA drive made my net surfing a much better experience. The old Dell desktop functions faster by booting up quickly and the videos on Youtube plays faster and no loading delays.

I took my computer to the Geek Squad for repair in Nov. It came back quickly, fixed but not what I took it in for. I made an appointment to have a Geek come to the house. He cancelled. Tow weeks later it is still not fixed.

Turned an old slow laptop into a much faster machine. Initial boot is in seconds rather than several minutes and accessing anything including web sites is so much faster. SSD drive is the best way to speed up a computer with a spinning drive. The only problem is I had to purchase software to clon my old drive. There may be a different way to do it or free software, but I didn't have time to research it and have used AOMEI Backupper before.

The first one is working great! Have not installed the second one yet. Used cloning software to to transfer my old drive to this new SSD. Great price! Might buy a couple more to have on hand.

This SSD is the best on the market for the price. It is very dependable. I have had zero failures or errors from this 500GB drive out of hundreds used.

Works perfect fast looks nice in pc builds only 475 GB usable on 500 GB perfect for gaming easy to set up
