CS900

The CS900 SSD (what you have there) is a DRAM-less design, meaning that performance can suffer under sustained read operations. While I don’t know how frequently a car has sustained read or write operations, DRAM-less designs are, by and large, a cost-saving measure. It’s not an awful drive, but get

I have an array of 6x4tb and 6x2tb sata SSDs in my storage server. I can copy at full speed for 50GB files on both arrays, but I think you are on the right track here. The CS900 is a DRAMless SSD, and there are reports that the 2tb and 4tb versions have massive speed drops once the drive hits 50% fu

yea, the PNY CS900 is actually a low quality cheap DRAMless SSD, so, it might actually be whats causing it. They are known to drop off terribly once they hit 50% full, and they have issues maintaining decent write speeds over long writes.

the 870 EVO is in a 6 drive array on an HBA in HBA mode, using windows storage spaces for a total of 17.5tb of usable space. I have not updated the drive firmware on my server for fear of bricking them because of recent windows and samsung firmware issues. the PNY CS900 is the receiving end in OPs c

If the laptop has already 2.5" HDD in it, then you should be able to swap it for as sata 2.5" SSD like you found. Just be aware you need some USB to SATA adapter, for the data transfer / OS clone from HDD to SSD, if you don't have any other means for that. Ps. Do mind that CS900 like to fail, it's c

I'd skip the CS900. It's DRAM-less, bottom-tier consumer NAND, and PNY has a habit of silently swapping the controller/NAND between batches under the same model number — so you don't even reliably know what you're getting in the box. For a pure boot drive with your media living on the 8x8TB, it'd te

My mistake, when you also linked the monitor, I mistook that for the usual mark of an integrated graphics processor. The CS900 is a solid little drive. No DRAM on it but based on your computing habits, it’s more than enough for you. I appreciate you also linking the external drive. I’m sure that it’

I am referring to the large amounts of complaints of overheating and failures in reviews. Also complaints that once the cache is saturated it hits 250mb/s speeds for longer loads. Apparently they also did bait and switch QLC in while advertising TLC. it has 8% 1 star reviews on amazon vs the micron/

SSD’s fail too had mine fail in my phat ps4 could have been the fact besides heat that it didn’t have internal cache memory and self trim onboard that is kinda important with PS4 OS , replaced it was a PNY cs900 1tb with a Samsung 870 evo and its trouble free and faster because it can maintain itsel

That’s why I said to get a drive like the Samsung 870 evo better drive for the PS4, you can get away with the PNY CS900 in Xbox consoles the Xbox is doesn’t degrade them like the PS4 does you really want the built in cache and garbage cleanup. I have SSDs in ALL my consoles just trying to help sprea
