SSD 2,5 960GB PNY CS900, BLACK

It's working very Good.It was quite cheap.Overall satisfied with this product.

Value for money purchase, my old laptop doesn't have pirts for nvme but this ssd nade it a lit better. Very fast

The product is very nice it boost up my old laptop remarkably fast.

When used for OS installation speed is not at par with ssd

Good for it's price, I think mine came with a faulty firmware but that was easily fixed with an update so its good.

Superb product and do what it is says. Before my laptop ( Dell inspiron3000 with 1 TB hdd Intel i3 4GB RAM and windows 10) was like a Turtle but now it is like a Rabbit.. Loved the product. So much happy now

I replaced an HDD for this SDD on a 12 year old PC and even though it runs fast as expected coming from a SSD. The speed coming from Crystal Disk Mark 6 says both read and write is 260Mb/s.Otherwise this SSD is great for how cheap it is but it would be nice it was 500Mb/s instead of 260Mb/s

as expected, good quality.

Agli inizi pensavo di dare 3-4 stelle perchè in generale gli SSD non mi sono mai piaciuti a livello di prestazioni. Questi sono estremamente veloci nelle letture sequenziali (difatti il boot del sistema è molto più rapido di quello fatto con gli hard disk magnetomeccanici) ma rallentano vistosamente con le letture/scritture multiple miste, fino a toccare delle velocità da chiavetta USB. Questo hard disk (PNY cs900 120 GB) non ha deluso le mie aspettative: ha gli stessi pregi e difetti degli altri SSD.Apparentemente veloce per un utilizzo da ufficio, è poco performante per trasferire video o altri file incomprimibili in parallelo (in multithread). Questa però non è una pecca di PNY. E' proprio la tecnologia SSD che, essendo basata sulle memorie flash (tecnologia pre anni '90) non possono fare meglio di così. Tutti questi SSD hanno una memoria RAM interna e 1 o 2 coprocessori matematici che servono per comprimere e decomprimere i dati al volo. Il segreto della loro velocità è tutta lì, la compressione in hardware. I dati vengono compressi in RAM (che va a 4 GB/s) e piano piano vengo scritti. Siccome vengono scritti compressi, quando si andranno a leggere saranno apparentemente più rapidi.Difatti io continuo a usare, per i miei computer principali, dei dischi magnetomeccanici a cui applico una compressione a livello software (su linux). Col compressore software riesco ad avere delle performance allineate a quelle dei moderni SSD anche su vecchi dischi IDE.Inoltre i dischi SSD TLC prevedono una possibilità di riscrittura delle celle di memoria da 300 a 1000 volte. Questo significa che un SSD non è virtualmente eterno come i magnetomeccanici. Il magnetomeccanico, avendo una testina che rimane staccata dal disco (di qualche micron) le parti meccaniche non si graffiano e non si consumano. Difatti sono arrivato a buttare via dei vecchi IDE da 5 GB e 10 GB (di più di 15 anni fa) ancora perfettamente funzionanti, ma che oramai erano dei pezzi da museo con una capacità troppo ridicola per gli standard di oggi.Siccome però qui mi si chiede di recensire il singolo prodotto specifico, ho voluto dare 5 stelle perchè pur non essendo il migliore disco in assoluto (a detta dei vari benchmark che si trovano online) è comunque reattivo, piccolo ed economico: l'ho pagato poco più di una ventina di euro. Per precauzione l'ho voluto alloggiare (su un pc fisso) nello slot da 3.5", dove gli viene buttata aria in continuazione dalla ventola di ingresso. Un'altra leggenda metropolitana sugli SSD è che scaldano meno. Non è vero: i piatti rotanti dei magnetomeccanici permettono di spostare l'aria calda verso l'esterno, dissipando il calore. I dischi SSD, essendo fatti di soli chip e non avendo un sistema di ventilazione, accumulano il calore e se questo non viene dissipato da qualche ventola esterna rischiano di bruciarsi. Cosa che è già successa a un mio amico col suo pc nuovo, dove gli avevano montato un SSD ma non una ventola di ingresso che lo tenesse fresco.

Ce SSD PNY 120 Go fonctionne très bien. Pour un SSD de 2018 il est certes assez lent (dans les tests séquentiels en tout cas), mais comparé à un disque dur mécanique il est très rapide et donnera un bon de coup de fouet à votre ordinateur en remplacement d'un vieux disque dur. D'ailleurs, à l'usage on ne voit aucune différence avec un SSD de grande marque (hors MVNE, et encore). Par contre, lors des transferts de gros fichiers sur ce disque dur (donc en écriture), le débit s'effondre littéralement une fois que le cache est plein (au bout de 4 Go de données environ). Et on arrive à des vitesses de clé USB, entre 35 et 45 Mo/s (voir photo). Ce qui est en rapport avec le prix du produit. Donc si vous cherchez un SSD pour transférer ou sauvegarder régulièrement de grandes quantités de données, il vaut mieux s'orienter vers un SSD plus rapide, avec des débits stables sur les gros transferts. Ce qu'offrent la plupart des SSD de grandes marques. Ce petit PNY peut évidemment servir de disque dur principal, pour installer Windows et vos programmes. Je recommande de toujours sauvegarder vos fichiers importants dans le Cloud ou sur un disque dur externe, quelque soit la marque de votre SSD. Au final, à ce prix-là (17,30 euros en janvier 2019), je recommande ce SSD. Car malgré ses faiblesses, on en a pour son argent à l'usage. Notamment par rapport à un disque dur mécanique. Je modifierai mon avis en cas de souci quelconque. Donc pas de nouvelle = bonne nouvelle! :-)

I purchased this for my main desktop but it failed after just 6 weeks. Initially everything was fine and I migrated from a SATA HDD using cloning software, my entire operating system.However in the last few days I started getting various file errors and assumed it might be a virus or some other such issue. Then after doing a check disk I discovered a number of errors on the drive which Windows could not repair.I reported the issue to the seller but their policy is I return the disk and then after 3 to 5 days if they find a fault they will send out a new disk drive.My issue with this is it means doing without my PC for 5 days and I will need to format the drive to remove any sensitive data. Alternatively I can buy a temporary HDD, copy windows over and use the PC whilst waiting for the new drive. But the main problem is I would get the same make and model drive back and it too may have similar issues. I have decided to buy a different make and model of SSD and then return this one asking for my money back.Some people have been successful with this drive but not me so I would not recommend it.

One-line review This is one of the slowest SSDs on the market, good as a game/secondary drive. Buy something else unless this is a lot cheaper.PNY CS900 960GB - Paid £68.99 when on offer + gift card promotional credit (£5 for £50). The next cheapest SSD at the time was the Adata Ultimate SU650 for £80 and the Crucial P1 1TB (QLC) for ~£70 for a short period.There's not a whole lot online about this SSD. One thing of concern is that there are a number of reviews saying that it has died on them, not after long. I'll update this if mine does stop working.Looks A plastic case with a slightly misaligned sticker on top which looks better in pictures.Specs Firmware CS900KA3 (No updates available from PNY) Windows lists it as 894.25 GB (I have kept another 80 GB unallocated to help with life span and speed) 3 year warranty upon registration, otherwise your standard 1 year warranty Mean time between failures (MTBF) 2,000,000 hours or 228 years 3D TLC but no mention anywhere of the Terabytes Written (TBW) Features S.M.A.R.T, NCQ, TRIM -- No AES/drive encryption as far as I can seeSetup Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 1600 @ Stock Motherboard - Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 Memory - Corsair LPX 16GB(2x8) 3000MHzConclusion There are better SSDs for the price unless you get it on offer. Currently, the SSD is back at £100. I'd recommend it if it's significantly cheaper than other drives, and like me don't want a QLC drive. But this SSD drive is probably the slowest you can get by far, I'd recommend searching for benchmarks on other SSDs and comparing them to my scores to see what I mean (scores other than sequential).

Bought this to upgrade a 2017 laptop to give it another couple of years of life. It was as seamless transition by the end, but getting there was slightly annoying, hence the star rating. I've done several HDD to SSD swaps for friends, family and colleagues. I've used a variety of differently branded drives depending on budget. Every other drive I've used so far has come with an OEM licence for some cloning software to make the transition easy. I googled for this brand, 'PNY' and 'OEM cloning software' and you get taken the manufacturers page where they ask you to choose your drive, so you select the drive you're buying here and it gives you the OEM download for the software. HOWEVER, despite these very misleading appearances this drive does not come with a licence for the software. This is highly unusual in my experience. In fairness the listing on Amazon doesn't explicitly say comes with a licence so it's my own fault for not doing enough due-diligence. Considering that the drive was no cheaper than the alternative quality brands which DO comes with the OEM licences I would not buy this brand again and would chose one with cloning software licence instead. The speeds are fine, and upgrading from a HDD to an SSD is well worth it as the stats show in my picture.
