CS900

Yeah prices are so bad now but don’t skimp! I originally upgraded ALL my consoles Xbox one S/X 6 total and 2 PS4’s at first I used PNY CS900 1tb drives the Xbox systems have zero issues being windows based basically they manage the SSD’s fine the 2 PS4’s killed those PNY SSD’s in a few months and th

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

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

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

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

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

Any ssd works on an RGH system so if speed is what you want go with 870 evo. The Lexar doesn’t have DRAM and is crippled when transferring hundreds of gigabytes at once. It took my DRAM-less PNY CS900 5-6 hours to transfer 300 GB from my HDD 😳
