PNY CS900 2TB 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD

Reliable, Affordable Upgrade for Everyday Storage Needs This 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.

Has my current OS and is still going strong. Now (17/09/2026)

Never had a problem with PNY SSD's. Had problems with Samsung EVO's. This drive is still perking right along as though I just installed it. It was reasonably priced and had quick shipping.

Absolute trash. After ca 2 years of light use 12 out of 15 of these SSDs have completely bricked them selves. One more out of the 15 is now starting to experience issues that I assume will lead to the same result of a dead drive. I contacted PNY telling them of the issue, after half reading the info I sent they replied that must update the firmware. After telling them that I already checked and there is no firmware for these drives, and that I already told them this in my original support contact they said, and I paraphrase: "Sorry you are experiencing issues, we are not planning to do anything about it". So I tried to do an RMA here on Amazon, ending in the choice of "Contact manufacturer" or "Troubleshoot yourself". So I now have 12, probably soon enough to be 15 useless little bricks that don't even weigh enough to be paper weights, expensive lesson, but lesson learned: PNY will never be bought again by me.

I installed it. The machine is faster. Nuff said.

***UPDATED REVIEW Dec 3rd: Upon further testing this PNY CS900 2TB SSD with another new SSD (from TeamGroup) using an older USB 3.0 SSD/HDD external enclosure -- and re-initializing the disk in Windows 10 (ThisPC --> Manage --> Disk Management : as a Simple GPT Volume) -- and after doing file transfer tests over a few days and checking the file integrity (MD5 hashes), I have come to the conclusion that the fault is not with this PNY CS900 2TB SSD, but with several faulty SSK-brand (model HE-C600) USB 3.2 external SSD/HDD enclosures I had recently purchased. So far so good, but I have to wait and see if there is anymore file corruption in the months ahead... Nov 23rd: Quality control issue? I bought this PNY CS900 2TB SSD less than two months ago (October), having bought the same PNY model four months earlier (July) which is still working fine; but when I first plugged in this 2nd PNY SSD to my PC, I noticed it took longer than usual to get detected on Windows 10, and have been hesitant to put more files on it due to the slow detection, as well as it randomly disconnecting a few times from Windows Explorer. Last week, it just stopped getting detected by my computer altogether, and I tried hooking it up to an external USB 3.0 SSD docking station; as well as trying different USB cables, but it still will not get detected! It's pretty much unusable at this point, and I only had it for less than two months!

Good quality at a good price. Arrived quickly. Came with screws to mount it and it was easy to install in my Dell desktop computer. Bought this for a new computer that didn't come with a secondary drive. This should easily fit most any desktop computer unless you have stuffed too much into the case already. After looking around on Amazon and comparing to Best Buy, I decided on a 2 TB SSD and found this at a great price on Amazon. The reviews were more favorable than a similar drive from another manufacturer. I'm very happy after a few months.

Ssd muito rápido, sem nenhum tipo de erro de leitura

Perfekt för ändamålet

After about 20 seconds of sustained buffer write, transfer speed bottlenecks and reduces to a shocking crawl, MUCH slower than a basic HDD drives. The advertised "up to" transfer speeds are a complete marketing gimmick that people here apparently fall for. Immediate refund request.

Mucho mejor que los discos de webstern digital, este disco es muy eficaz y muy bueno, por lo tanto te lo recomiendo.

works as expected
