Review on πŸ’Ύ PNY CS900 250GB SSD: High-Performance 3D NAND SATA III Solid State Drive by Christina Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for my secondary drive and priced right

I caught this as a Revain gold box and bought it for $32.00 which I think is a bargain. . Powerful little drive that works as advertised - Boot times in Microsoft Windows 10 Pro went from 2 minutes to around 30 seconds, which is a big difference compared to booting from a SATA or IDE drive, and it was very easy to install. But that SSD was an addition to the speed factor as I have a pair of G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB RAM with an available EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC graphics card with 4GB GDDR5 RAM. So my computer speeded up a lot by adding this SSD. You may need a mounting plate for this SSD if your computer case is not screwless as it doesn't come with one. An excellent mounting kit is the Inateck 2 x 2.5" SSD Mounting Bracket for 3.5" Internal Hard Drives as it can hold 2 SSDs and with everything included such as SATA data cables and power cables, supplied to complete your installation. SSD. I also have a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD, but I bought a PNY CS900 240GB 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD as it's over half the price of a Samsung SSD and I could use it as a backup drive. I ran a read/write speed test using Crystal Disk Mark 6.0 and the write speed was around 250MB/s with a brief peak of around 400MB/s and the read speed was around 425MB/s.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
