3.0 out of 5 stars
Hight write speed can be achieved only when writing a limited amount of data
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2023
I bought this PNY CS900 500GB SSD to replace my a few years old OCZ 240 GB SSD. After I received it I did a test of its main characteristics.I first tested its read and write speed using CrystalDiskMark. It showed that this SSD indeed achieved the claimed read and write speeds of 550 MB/s and 450 MB/s as shown in the attached first figure. Then I used the h2TestW program to test its data integrity. It showed there was no problem of data error. However, I found its write speed reduced quickly when the data was filled. Even though the read speed is fine. It can be seen clearly in the series of screenshots attached. To dig into this issue more, I used AIDA64 program to test the linear write speed in the process while the data was filled as show in the last screenshot attached. As shown there, this SSD achieved the advertised write speed of over 400 MB/s only for a short amount of data. It reduced to about 200MB/s for a little longer, but then reduced to about 110 MB/s and remaining there until the test finished. With such characteristics, this drive should work fine as a PC's system disk. However, it will take too long when large data files are needed to be stored.As PNY is a well known name in SD and SSD product area, this is disappointing.

I own a computer repair shop and I've sold many brands of SSDs over the years. I install these in basic home and office PCs and have yet to have a single failure. I have almost 500 of these out in the field. Now I wouldn't recommend this drive if you're going to write a lot of data to it on a regular basis (like if you plan to use it as a scratch disk during video editing, or install it in a RAID array on a NAS server or something) as its write endurance is quite low but if your needs are basic this drive is an excellent choice. Real life performance (not the stupid disk benchmarks people always post) is going to be lower than something like a Samsung EVO or PRO but again, if your needs are basic you shouldn't see much difference. The main performance difference is between this drive and a higher end drive is going to be the write cache. Basically, if you're writing a lot of data, this drive is going to slow down to a crawl before a higher end SSD would. The higher end SSD will slow down too, it will just stay faster for longer during large file transfers. That being said, you shouldn't be using this drive if you need to do large amounts of writes to it on a regular basis, so this shouldn't matter.
I own an HP EliteBook 2760p with a 2nd Gen i7 processor with Windows 10 installed. From hitting the power button to *actually being usable* the laptop would take almost 4 minutes. Running programs would be slow as well. Once running the laptop would be fine just slow to respond.
Enter the PNY 480GB SSD drive. I installed it easily. It was literally just 5 case screws and 4 drive tray screws then a drive swap. I put it all back together and then used the Windows 10 install tool via USB to format the drive and install Windows. Once all the updates available from Microsoft were completely installed and all device drivers were set I shut the laptop down. So here we go... From hitting the power button to *actually being usable* the laptop now takes 35 seconds. Programs are snappy and responsive.
Considering the cost of these drives these days and how easy it is to swap them out - AND how fast they are - this is the first upgrade you should do to ANY older PC you have that has a primary drive that is still a physical disk drive. I've installed this drive in 2x 2760p, a 3rd Gen i5 HP 6570b and an HP All In One 2nd Gen i3. They all now run smoothly and quickly with a new lease on life!
Does it make them gaming PCs? No. But it does make older hardware usable and able to keep up with current OS and software demands.
PNY SSDs are American-made high-performing drives. The cost is consitantly less than I see for more prominent brands like Western Digital, Kingsun, or Samsung. And Seagate.. well they sold SSDs to China AFTER the US trade ban...
**Upgrade Old Computers: If your old computer uses platter disc harddrives, forget buying more ram. Moving your OS to SSD will improve speeds for boot time, loading files, programs, etc. Also upgrading to a quality SSD like this is often an easier fix than finding additional RAM for older computers.
Updated for 2TB and 4TB: The PNY 4TB SSD is a great longterm solution for any pc or laptop.
The 2TB drive is ideal for use as an external drive for the Xbox 360, because the console is incompatable with any HDD/SSD with capacity greater than 2Tb. My Xbox360 slim console also will not read more than 2 external drives at once; possibly on account of having 2 internal drives already. With two 2Tb external drives, the Xbox360 max storage capacity comes to 4Tb external + internal (320GB for mine). Other consoles may see similar external storage limitations, but newer consoles also have massive install sizes, like 30-80Gb. Xbox360 installs vary from 2-3Gb up to around 20Gb install space required. Thus, between two SSDs (totalling 2Tb+1Tb=3Tb), I have been able to install 491 games from discs. Why do this? Longevity: the game data on old discs which are prone to scratching will deteriorate faster than data installed on SSDs. **ALSO**Gaming emulators for older consoles (and some portables) are capable in part due to comparatively small file sizes. My 1Tb PNY SSD holds 174 games; but a terabyte, let alone 3 or 4 terabytes is totally unfeasible for an 'emulator'. The solution was to buy up old games from Gamestop when the price dropped (to like $5/game) upon release of the next console systems. This way, classic games are not completely lost to time; although some may be already. The disc for puzzle game 'Fez' is now virtually impossible to find. After install, the game disc is only required to recognize and boot each game - producing less wear on the disc and smoother gameplay.
I'm still running a very old copy of "W" software and wanted the old computer to last as long as possible. IT guy said it wasn't "if" a hard drive would fail it was "when." This hard drive has taken two tumbles to the ground that would have fried its predecessor, but it keeps on keepin on. Plus I have more storage capacity with the upgrade.

I have bought many of these PNY SSDs for family members and friends. I've used Macrium Reflect to clone their original HDD to an SSD, and their computers run far better. HDDs read and write data at around 55-85mbps, while SSDs are 500-550mbps, making the operating system and computer activities much more responsive. They also speed up the boot time of computers, making that old saying "my computer needs to warm up" an irrelevant statement.
I purchased an install kit and ran into a little issue with the install because of the way the drive sled is my computer. I did get it figured out and the boot and responce times have gotten great. Best upgrade I have made to it.
llegó antes de lo esperado y el disco en si ha salido muy bueno, muy buena capacidad y funcionamiento excelente, la tasa de transferencia de datos asi como la lectura y escritura es bastante aceptable.
