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 Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041

Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 is an 8GB eMMC storage module designed specifically for mobile devices, tablets, embedded systems, and various other compact electronic devices. Using eMMC 5.1 technology, this chip delivers balanced performance, high power efficiency, and long-term reliability in a space-saving and cost-effective package.

As an embedded storage solution, the module combines Samsung's high-quality NAND flash with an internal controller in a single BGA153 package. With the HS400 interface, the module is able to achieve data transfer rates that are capable enough to run lightweight operating systems, store application data, and handle basic file management processes. It is suitable for use in devices such as set-top boxes, Android TV, IoT devices, and light operating systems based on Linux or Android.

In tests using a FiberHome HG680-P device powered by Amlogic S905X with 2GB of RAM and AtvXperience (Android TV 6) operating system, the Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 recorded read speeds of 57.46 MB/s and write speeds of 37.79 MB/s on the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile). These figures show quite responsive performance for activities such as system booting, running light applications, and multimedia streaming.

Despite having only 8GB of capacity, this module is still relevant for scenarios that do not require large storage space, such as media players, lightweight Android-based systems, or IoT devices that perform specific functions. The lack of DRAM cache and the unstated TBW value indicate that this module is intended for light, less write-intensive workloads.

Overall, the Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 is a compact, efficient and reliable 8GB eMMC solution, ideal for embedded systems or devices with space and power constraints. For developers or system integrators who need stable performance embedded storage from a reputable brand, this eMMC is an option worth considering.
