PNY CS900 1TB 2.5” 7mm SATA 6Gb/s - SSD7CS900-1TB-RB SSD Disk

PNY CS900 1TB is a classic 2.5" SATA SSD, aimed at budget and mid-range configurations where you want noticeable acceleration compared to HDD without stepping into the price range of high-end NVMe. You get 1TB capacity in a thin 7mm form factor, which fits without drama into most desktop and laptop systems. Speeds up to 535MB/s read and 515MB/s write are more than sufficient for fast boot, instant program opening, and decent game loading times. The memory is 3D TLC, which is a good balance between price, durability, and performance.

What you get

With 1TB capacity, you can comfortably keep an operating system, main applications, and a solid library of games or work projects on a single drive. The SATA 3 (6Gb/s) interface and 2.5" form factor make it a direct upgrade for almost any older laptop or desktop where you still have a slow HDD. Support for TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. helps the drive maintain stable speed over time and allows you to monitor its health through standard tools. An MTBF of 2 000 000 hours and features like Full end-to-end data path protection, Standard/Enhanced Secure Erase, and RAID 0/1 support are a plus if you want a bit more peace of mind for your data. Additional power features such as SATA link power management, Power Island Support, and Power Efficiency Management System are especially useful in laptops, where every bit of saved consumption means more battery life.
