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.
