CS900

I have a pure SSD server. your drive choice is terrible for a use case like a storage/remote server. the CS900 has no DRAM, so there is no write cache. the initial speed is because the PC on the receiving end is using its system ram as a cache, and once that fills up, you are back to the actual writ

These hp laptops from that generation are so nice to work on. I would suggest that you get the t7400 instead, it's like 8-10% less powerful but waaaay cheaper than the t7600, that's the CPU I use on my Compaq nc8430 and it runs pretty great. I see that your model has intel GMA 950 integrated graphic

It’s very possible. At least that was my issue. I did try before to push harder but figured I break it and it seemed seated. I also think the format deal is key as well. I used the pny cs900 because the handful of micro sd I had were them and they worked good. Unlike this lexar one I bought on amazo

Yes, OP. Your laptop supports 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD. Both use same connectors. I would suggest you to upgrade it with a SATA SSD rather than a HDD because HDD is slower and SATA SSD is faster than HDD (~560Mb/sec). SATA SSD is slower than modern NVME, but faster than a HDD. Like this one > Kingston A

The pny CS900 has no problem yet it is slow but in simple storage it cannot be used in native OS

It was the SSD. I was using a Crucial BX500 and I found another post of a guy with the same setup having the same issue. For whatever reason, the SSD is completely functional, its just not compatible with OPL. I swapped it out with a PNY CS900 and it works fine now.

So, the PNY CS900 is a very low end laptop Sata SSD and not suitable for anything other then a low end workstation or a low end laptop. I would not use them for anything like ZFS or hosting VM disks. they are DRAM-Less and rely on the controller direct IO access to NAND no PLP, so they do not cache

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

PNY CS900 1TB 3D NAND 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - (SSD7CS900-1TB-RB) https://a.co/d/4ZtDMVM This will do you well better, same form factor, should interface just fine. Edit: just saw not my dollars, sorry about that. Even if it is a bit more though, really get the SSD, the andro

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/
