  1. rdavid

    Easy installation, and it worked as intended. Not the fastest ssd on the market, but it gets the job done.

  2. JohnD

    Great product at very affordable price. I high recommend this drive.

  3. 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.

  4. KurtP

    Great new drive. The new solid state drive repalces a mechanical drive that was very slow.

  5. Rodneyf

    It functions as intended. A cheap affordable upgrade for a laptop.

  6. KVMBP

    I recently upgraded my computer’s storage with the PNY CS900 SSD, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This budget-friendly solid-state drive delivers a significant performance boost and has proven to be a reliable addition to my system.

The drive has been running smoothly without any hiccups, and I haven’t encountered any issues with data loss or system crashes.

    **Installation:**
    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.

    **Build Quality:**
    The build quality of the PNY CS900 is solid. The drive feels durable, and the sleek design adds a modern touch to my system. The compact form factor is ideal for both desktops and laptops, allowing for easy integration into different setups.

    Very reliable SSD. Easy to use either internal or external.

  11. RobW

    Excellent part. Staff were very helpful. Installed in an industrial PC and improved performance by over 20x.

  12. YasminD

    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

  13. Cheez

    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.

  14. PapiChulo

    Great devices, performing as promised. the service delivery was fast and better than expexted.

  15. 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.

  16. AnthonyC

    Overpriced nothing any temu ssd couldn’t do. Its an ssd what else can i say.

  17. Unknown

    This has been a good inexpensive solid state hard drive for updating older machines.

  18. KurtE

    A friend recommended that I purchase this item and I had no issues after installing.The price was reasonable and as usual pleasant staff.

  19. MohammadB

    it was very good item for me and do my work on the computer.

  20. Rotcorp

    Your data will transfer with this I guarantee it and it comes in a slick black which is always nice.

  21. Unknown

    This disk has brought life again to my PC. It runs smoothly, and the perfromance is just what I expected. I bought a few so far for the office.

  22. Unknown

    Looks as described, Havent used it as it will be used as a spare drive.

  23. Stephen

    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.

  24. NeklesY

    The ssd runs good and runs at its advertised speeds. I’ve got no complaints with it as a boot drive for my server

  25. AndreyG

    Great drives great price. These are economic and very good

  26. JagdishG

    No problem observed. PC boots and runs quite efficiently.

  27. BestbuyDM1

    Great product, have had no problems out of this purchase. Works great!

  28. Jblisbetter

    Excellent item, super fast, and easy installation.

  29. BillB

    Performs well. Quickly accesses files and programs. Works as advertised.

  30. Cooper

    Works great, first one I’ve bought, I’ve used PNY memory in the past without issue so I wasn’t worried, and this is a solid drive for sure, I will not hesitate to buy another!

  31. Jeff

    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!

  32. Jrj337

    Good ssd for Xbox really like it must buy I like it

  33. MyrondM

    Excellent product for your business and for the most important database backup tool.

  34. Papichulo

    Very nice cheap drive, still running in my work pc

  35. 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!

  36. 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!

  37. Unknown

    works great I would buy again, and also at a great price

  38. 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.

  39. Unknown

    Good price and performance for this SSDs, I Would definitely buy more when needed

  40. mmiranda030389

    item worked as described, replaced with a laptop thst hada hdd and made a might and day difference

  41. ddinkel

    Good quality and better price on this SSD. Moves data quickly also, as with any SSD.

  42. 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.

  43. Blaiser1

    This PNY SSD performs very well for the cost. Replaced a standard HDD with ease.

  44. Binoy

    Review after an year, its working very good. I recommend this item.

  45. 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.

  46. RedSoxboy

    love this drive, great product for the price, easy to install, just watch the vids on youtube… still going strong!!

  47. Trisha711

    So far this product works fine since Best Buy installed and cleaned up my PC. Thank you GeekSquad/Best Buy.

  48. 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.]

  49. ABis

    I have not used it yet, will need to come back and update.

  50. curldog

    I had for a while now, works great.
    No issues, will buy again if needed.
