Easy installation, and it worked as intended. Not the fastest ssd on the market, but it gets the job done.
JohnD –
Great product at very affordable price. I high recommend this drive.
JasonB –
Unbeatable for the price, but sometimes has me wishing I would have sprung for a Samsung, OWC, etc.
I bought this to install in my mothers 2017 iMac that Apple inexplicably installed a slow mechanical hard drive in and sold with only 8GB of RAM. The limited RAM meant the OS would be swapping the HD quite often and dragged the system to a crawl – even during most simple tasks like opening email or text documents.
I ordered more RAM from another vendor, an install kit and picked up this PNY SSD to bring her iMac closer to modern standards.
The difference is night and day, but the PNY begins to show its weaknesses (compared to SSDs from some other brands) during prolonged read and write procedures. Still – it’s more than enough for my mother.

Great new drive. The new solid state drive repalces a mechanical drive that was very slow.
Rodneyf –
It functions as intended. A cheap affordable upgrade for a laptop.

Installing the PNY CS900 was a straightforward process. The SSD comes with the necessary accessories, including a SATA cable and a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch adapter, making it compatible with a variety of systems. The included cloning software also made transferring my existing data to the new drive hassle-free.

It worked very well, I used it on a acer nitro laptop and it was very good and fast, before that i used to have a HD that lasted only a few months so this one worked way better than that

I used this SSD for almost a year before I upgraded my whole PC and moved to NVMe drives. I sold it to a friend. Great performance, good value.
PapiChulo –

JoshuaL –
Bought to upgrade an older Dell Optiplex 7020. Plugged in the cable, plugged into the motherboard, installed Windows 10 Pro. No problem and although a budget SSD, still WAY faster than the original spinning disc hard drive it came with.
AnthonyC –
Overpriced nothing any temu ssd couldn’t do. Its an ssd what else can i say.

I first used the PNY brand about 6 years ago. Don’t have any complaints about it. It’s great for anyone who’s on a budget in terms of their PC build.

Great little 500 gig drive. What a difference is speed compared to a disk drive. Cloned my hard drive to it with Clonezilla…..no problem!

MyrondM –
Excellent product for your business and for the most important database backup tool.
Papichulo –
Very nice cheap drive, still running in my work pc
Rodnxtxor –
Worth the price, you dont need an expensive ssd since you will barely see the difference in speed in real time so settle with this and save some money!
worldcitizen –
This hard drive is reasonable and easy to use. After you format and initialize it, you can use it for any purpose you like. It has really great speed for 2.5” form factor and is super reliable, I’ve used many of these and never had any issues, Mac or Windows both work really well! If you need an SSD like this, you will get roughly same performance for this PNY as you would from any Samsung SSD in this form factor. I recommend it!
Unknown –
works great I would buy again, and also at a great price
KeeganG –
I’m don’t remember what specific project I bought this for but I’ve been using it as a project drive for a couple months now and it’s taken everything I’ve thrown at it. I used it to boot Ubuntu to see if an old motherboard still worked, I’ve used it with a SATA to USB cable a number of times as an external drive, most recently I used it to back up a PS4 while I did an upgrade to it’s storage, and it worked great in all those cases. It’s not the fastest SSD around and feels kinda cheap in the hands but it functions and doesn’t ask any questions and that’s what I need it to do.
Unknown –
Good price and performance for this SSDs, I Would definitely buy more when needed
mmiranda030389 –

ddinkel –
Good quality and better price on this SSD. Moves data quickly also, as with any SSD.
JessicaF –
I was looking for more space for my laptop and purchased this drive just to find out it didn’t match my laptop. I was so upset that the worker just wanted to make a sale and didn’t even check to make sure it was the correct drive for my laptop, definitely gave me a negative outlook of best buy.
Blaiser1 –
This PNY SSD performs very well for the cost. Replaced a standard HDD with ease.
Binoy –
Review after an year, its working very good. I recommend this item.
gbmom –
I needed a new hard drive for my laptop. This was recommended and installed by Best Buy Geek Squad. It is working well and I am very happy with the product and service.
RedSoxboy –
love this drive, great product for the price, easy to install, just watch the vids on youtube… still going strong!!
Trisha711 –
So far this product works fine since Best Buy installed and cleaned up my PC. Thank you GeekSquad/Best Buy.
MGmirkin –
Works fine. Maybe not the top-of-the-line Samsung EVO drive, but a cheap upgrade off of mechanical hard disks for older desktops/laptops. Give them a bit of extra pep in their step… Haven’t had any fail early yet. Seems to work fine, have decent life. PNY is generally pretty reputable, IMO. [Granted, more known for their graphics cards and maybe thumb drives. But, this drive seems to work just fine and get the job done without too much fuss.]
ABis –
I have not used it yet, will need to come back and update.
curldog –
I had for a while now, works great.
