PNY CS900 960GB 2.5" SATA III INTERNAL Solid State Drive (SSD) - SSD7CS900-960-RB

Pros: Works fine, no issues, great for a budget SSD OS upgrade

Cons: A bit slower than the higher end models from other companies like Samsung, but you get what you pay for

Overall Review: TOTALLY worth the price. i have two of these and they both work perfectly, one i have had in use for over a year and a half, I just bought a refurbed 240gb PNY ssd as well because of my experience with these, hopefully it will work up to snuff with these babies. If you have the money go for an 860 evo, if you want the screaming performance, but if you are just looking to upgrade from an HDD and don't want to spend 100 dollars, go for this little guy, you will see a world of difference.

Overall Review: bought 30 - all working

Pros: The great: 1- Works well on Linux 2- Quick bootups 3- My 3rd PNY SSD & no issues 4- Fast Premier processing/shipping 5- Newegg packaging (packed along with ASRock RX 570 in cardboard box & plenty of airbags unlike @mazon) 6- Snagged it up before they went to backorder status 7- Supports TRIM & AHCI mode (see my review on the PNY CS900 120GB SSD for more in depth details/info) 8- SATA III (using a SATA II or SATA I motherboard will bottleneck red/write speeds)

Cons: The not so great: 1- PNY OEM packaging offers no shipping protection 2- NOT included: mounting screws, nor SATA cable 3- No buy one get one free :) 4- On older-cheap pc cases you may need a 3.5 inch > 2.5 inch adapter

Overall Review: This is a good deal. The key to keeping a SSD fast is to run TRIM daily on Windows or Linux. On Linux run this command in a terminal daily: 1- Open a terminal 2- Type: sudo fstrim -v / 3- Press Enter on your keyboard 4- Type in your pc's password (be invisible) 5- Press Enter on keyboard On Windows 10: 1- Click on folder icon on taskbar 2- click on "this pc" 3- right click on your SSD drive & left click "properties" 4- left click "tools" tab 5- Left click on "optimize" 6- Make sure your SSD is highlighted & left click on "optimize" I strongly recommend PNY SSDs; due to the fact I have purchased four & had no issues ! These PNY SSDs are fast, well priced & dependable.

Pros: none

Cons: write speed is nowhere near as fast as it says. make sure you test your drives when you get them.

Overall Review: i do not reccomend.

Pros: None.

Cons: Used less than a year, then suddenly went dead. No warning, all data lost.

Overall Review: I have 3 other ssd drives from other brands used daily for several years with no issues. Short life span on this drive is unacceptable. Not sure if I can trust buying anything from PNY again.

Pros: - cheap - can be replaced if fails fast enough

Cons: - 1st drive failed the first day - 2nd drive failed within 4 months - not the fastest SSD - unreliable

Overall Review: - would not recommend - i would rather smash it with hammer than get a replacement to fail again

Pros: Put in my daughter’s gaming pc for her os. It’s a few sec boot... can’t complain.

Cons: Still not .05 per gb

Overall Review: Cheaper than Samsung and just as reliable. I’ve installed these drives into 70 pc’s so far and none has died. Also I have 16 of them in 2 temporary VMware hosts, raid 10, which run perfectly.

Pros: Cheap and fast

Cons: Longevity and super high failure rate percentage

Overall Review: Bought 5 of these...3 failed so far and each went to 3 different customers. These failed in about exactly 1 yr. I've bought hundreds of SSDs....mainly Samsung, Crucial and Kingston with some SanDisk. They are no longer detected by multiple PCs. Just waiting for the other to go south now too. Customers just love to hear everything has been lost. Thanks a lot PNY!
