About Hardware PNY CS900 250GB

The PNY CS900 250GB is a SATA III (6Gbps) SSD designed as an affordable upgrade solution for users still using hard disk drives (HDDs). Utilizing 3D NAND flash memory, this SSD delivers major improvements in read and write speeds, power efficiency and operational reliability for everyday computing needs.

It is capable of achieving read speeds of up to 535MB/s and write speeds of up to 500MB/s, making it ideal for speeding up operating system boot times, streamlining application launches and accelerating file transfer processes. Compared to conventional HDDs, the performance improvements offered by the CS900 are very noticeable, especially on systems with limited specifications.

The test was conducted using an HP 1000 1b05AU laptop equipped with an AMD E1-1200 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and Windows 7 64-bit operating system. This laptop supports SATA-III, so it can utilize the maximum bandwidth of the CS900. Although the test system is in the low-end category, the performance improvement after switching from HDD to SSD is significant.

In performance testing, the PNY CS900 250GB showed quite impressive results for the SATA SSD class. Using CrystalDiskMark software, read speeds were recorded at 535.26 MB/s and write speeds reached 478.16 MB/s, reflecting optimal performance on the SATA III interface. Meanwhile, tests using AS-SSD Benchmark recorded read speeds of 444.94 MB/s and write speeds of 397.23 MB/s, showing good performance consistency for various daily usage scenarios such as system booting, opening applications and transferring large files.

The PNY CS900 also offers the added benefits of silent operation, low power consumption and better shock resistance than HDDs, making it a great choice for laptop users who need a reliable and power-efficient storage solution.

With its 2.5-inch form factor and SATA III interface, this SSD is highly compatible with the majority of laptops and desktops, both old and new systems. The PNY CS900 250GB is an economical upgrade option that still delivers high performance for basic productivity, entertainment and everyday use.

About Hardware KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL

The KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL is an 8GB eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) storage module designed for use in small electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes (STBs), IoT devices, and other embedded systems. Featuring the latest 3D NAND flash technology from KIOXIA (formerly Toshiba Memory), it offers a blend of performance, power efficiency, and long-term reliability.

As part of the eMMC 5.1 standard, the KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL delivers improved read and write speeds over previous generations, while maintaining low power consumption. The module combines NAND flash and controller in a single package, simplifying integration in embedded systems and shortening product development time for manufacturers. With a compact and power-efficient design, this storage is perfect for devices that require a small footprint and high durability, without sacrificing performance stability.

In tests conducted on the FiberHome HG680P device (IndiHome STB) which uses an Amlogic S905X SoC, Mali-450 MP GPU, and 2GB of RAM, the KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL showed a pretty solid performance for the eMMC 5.1 category. Based on the PassMark Performance Test (Disks) benchmark, the read speed reached 55.9 MB/s, while the write speed recorded 22.8 MB/s. In the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile), the read speed stood at 37.65 MB/s and write 20.44 MB/s. These results reflect the eMMC's capability to run basic applications, video streaming, system boot, and other light tasks consistently.

Overall, the KIOXIA THGBMHG6C1LBAIL is an economical yet reliable embedded storage solution, ideal for entry-level to mid-range devices that require well-performing, efficient, and stable internal storage. Backed by KIOXIA's big name in NAND flash and memory technology, this eMMC is a great choice for embedded system projects and low-power consumer devices that require efficiency without sacrificing quality.
