This is a decent deal. Not an amazing SSD but better than mechanical.

PNY is a pretty reputable company. I don't like their USB's. I have never heard anything bad about their SSD's, might take up on this! Thanks OP.

Ehh, unless I find something good about them in the storage-department I would rather spend $100 for a more reputable company because if a drive crashes, I will be losing much more than $100. (Simply because I can't recover an SSD)

They are a very reputable company and have really came up in the world in regards to storage. I have 2 pny flash drives and one solid state drive none of which have crapped out on me yet

That is good to hear. I will do more research on them. I have heard about them before, but mainly their professional Tesla graphic cards.

Would you recommend the PNY SSD or this Kingston one? They are fairly priced.
