Cheap speed for an older Mac EDIT: Quick death
So, it was fine for about 10 months, but tonight It completely failed. All I get is a message saying "No bootable device.' Supposedly, there is a 3 year warranty, but the CS900 doesn't show up as a type of drive available to send in for warranty replacement. I lost data and seem unable to find a way to send it back for replacement. Buyer beware.
Worked well as a drop-in (well, disassemble everything, drop in and reassemble) replacement for the dead hard drive in my 2014 Mac Mini. Write speed was about 250 MB/s with a brief peak near 400MB/s and read speed was about 425MB/s, which is pretty good over the SATA bus. (Speed was tested with Black Magic Disk Speed Test.)
Can't speak of long-term reliability, but once installed, it was seen by MacOS recovery mode and was easy to install the operating system. Makes an older computer feel like new.
