I do not think that part number indicate a refurbished drive.
Please send source that backs your opinion.

But anyhow, I would not buy this drive for $100.
Should rather buy $130 Crucial MX, with 5 year warranty and dram.
If one must buy one for $100, I recommend Kingston or Crucial BX.

The part number (SSD7CS900-2TB-RB) seems to indicate this is a refurbished drive, though nothing in the Amazon or Walmart description mentions that it is refurbished.

This is not refirbished. Here's the data sheet: https://www.pny.com/file%20librar...rd-ssd.pdf
This is 2nd to last under CS900​. 3yr warranty. Might not be the best drive out there, but it's pretty good to see $50/TB.

Not the best ssd out there. The reviews are pretty bad. Get the Teamgroup ones instead. Same price much better reviews.

PNY is a terrible brand. Both a thumb drive and an SSD i got from them died suddenly and unexpectedly. Would not recommend this brand

You'd need a case but no PS5 games will run off of it- just PS4 games.

For people poo pooing these, just know I have my home PC and my Plex server with PNY SSD OS drives. They never are not on and running since 2015. I also upgraded my PS4 with one of these in 2 TB and no issues.

You're not comparing the same thing. A PNY SSD from 2015 will have MLC nand. That's why your old PNY SSD's are chugging along to this day. Now, the QLC PNY is a different animal, about 25% of the longevity in comparison. MLC, TLC, and QLC are the buzzwords when buying a SSD.

The silver lining is the QLC makes up its deficiency with sheer size. The 2TB QLC is about a 256GB MLC in total writing. If you stuff a QLC to its nose, it will die very quickly and unexpectedly, unless you write once but don't delete and rewrite.

I used 2 PNY SSDs in my first desktop build back in 2014 and both drives became inaccessible years later. I ended up recycling them. Go with Crucial or Samsung instead if you need reliability
