PNY CS900 1TB 3D NAND 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - (SSD7CS900-1TB-RB)

Reliable, Affordable Upgrade for Everyday Storage NeedsThis PNY CS900 2TB SSD turned out to be a straightforward and satisfying upgrade. Installation was quick—just a standard 2.5" SATA connection—and the drive was recognized immediately without any hassle. For general use, it’s a night-and-day improvement compared to an old spinning hard drive. Boot times are nearly instant, programs open faster, and overall system responsiveness feels much snappier.The 2TB capacity is a sweet spot for those who want a roomy but reasonably priced drive. It’s plenty for storing a mix of games, videos, photos, and work files without worrying about space. Performance is solid and consistent; while it doesn’t reach the speeds of NVMe drives, for most desktops and laptops that still rely on SATA, this is more than enough. I also noticed that it runs cool and quiet, with no issues under heavy file transfers.One thing to keep in mind is that this is more of a budget SSD—so while reliability has been great so far, it doesn’t come with some of the advanced endurance ratings or extra-long warranties you’ll see in higher-end models. That said, for typical consumer workloads, it’s more than adequate.Bottom line: A dependable and affordable way to breathe new life into an older machine or expand storage on a newer one. It delivers fast, reliable performance without breaking the bank.

This was a surprisingly inexpensive drive, and while I wouldn’t necessarily trust critical files to it without backup, it’s well made and runs well. I’ve only had it a month or so, so I’ll update it if I have lifespan issues, but - so far so good. The drive has a plastic exterior with a sticker slapped on either side, so the case doesn’t look sophisticated - it looks cheap, but it works! Drive speed is as-expected. I’m satisfied with the purchase.

This drive works great! I bought this to speed up an old PS4. There is a significant difference in the load times. Fortnite went from a couple minutes to about 50 seconds. It was plug and play, like any laptop sata drive. It's very thin - thinner than I expected. It was well worth the $30 to speed up the PS4 this much.

Zero issues, would be better if it came with the SATA cables, however I can't complain. I've had zero issues so far. Will check back if an issue arises before the one year mark.

This works great for replacing the hard drive on my PS4. It is pretty fast for a budgeted PS4 drive. It is thinner in height compared to most 2.5 disk drives but it will fit in your ps4 without much issues. I has a standard aluminum case and I had no trouble installing it. I did want to see how this would perform on on both Mac and PC so I tried it with that first also was my way to test the speed. The drive was able to work without any issues. It did not require any additional software and it was just a plug in play (minus the initialization. It also fit the sata port pretty well. The only thing I would say if you are installing this in laptops with a holder is that you may need to hold it up slightly as it is thinner than your normal 2.5 disk drive but honestly it would not be too much of a difference in installation. You always need to initalize it even with external. I did want to test the transfer speed using a 3.0 enclosure and the transfer speed is not too bad which is good. There was no extreme heat up to an alarming. I did a memory verification just to be safe and the storage memory is correct so you can be sure your data is safe. The speed works pretty well for my ps4. The games load faster and the PS4 does not lag during intense cut scenes which is what I wanted. I test it against some other 2.5 solid state drives (Samsung and WD) as well as the Seagate Hybrid drive and it was not bad. It is pretty on par with the most brand solid state drives. It is definitely a good drive to use for an upgrade from a disk drive to a higher capacity and faster storage. Unfortunately with so many games being big files 1 TB does fill up pretty quick. I was able to transfer all the data from my old PS4 drive to my new one but it did take time to back up and restore everything. Overall I like this drive. It has been reliable and fast. I have not had any issues with it slowing down or failing.
