Pny Cs900 120Gb Internal Solid State Drive SSD

Pny Cs900 120Gb Internal Solid State Drive SSD

The PNY CS900 120GB SSD is a 2.5″ form factor drive that PNY designed to provide a significant performance boost over traditional hard drives. Launched on March 12th, 2018, this SSD utilizes a SATA 6 Gbps interface. Consequently, it aims to deliver faster boot times, quicker application loading, and an overall more responsive system experience, making the PNY CS900 120GB SSD an excellent choice for everyday computing.

Reliable Performance & Storage Upgrade

PNY equipped this 120GB variant of the CS900 with a Phison PS3111-S11-13 controller and 64-layer TLC NAND flash from Micron (B16A version). Specifically, to improve write speeds, the drive utilizes a pseudo-SLC cache, which allows it to process bursts of incoming writes more quickly. Additionally, it offers sequential read speeds of up to 515 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 490 MB/s; therefore, it is a suitable upgrade for older systems or a budget-friendly option for new builds.

PNY designed the CS900 for the consumer market, thereby providing a reliable storage solution. Although it does not include a DRAM cache, it instead leverages Phison’s SmartCacheFlush technology, which uses internal SRAM to improve write performance. Moreover, the drive supports essential SSD features like TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. for drive health monitoring and maintenance. PNY rates the drive for an endurance of 40 TBW and provides a 3-year warranty.
