Please read before you begin

and is backwards compatible with SATA II and SATA I.
Please consult your system specications for compatibility.
• If you are installing this SSD in a desktop system or server, you may

• PNY SSDs are intended as replacements for traditional hard drives and
solid state drives; please consult your system manual or manufacturer
for instructions on installing a new hard drive or SSD. This procedure
will vary by system manufacturer and model. Sample instructions are
available at www.pny.com/SSD
• PNY SSDs are shipped without any operating system, programs, or data
installed.
• If you are replacing your boot drive, it is recommended that you “clone”
the existing hard disk onto your SSD before you do anything else. This
may require software and/or a special cable or connector ( not included
with the PNY SSD ).
NOTE: Most clone utilities will only work if the space used on your
current hard drive is less than or equal to the available space on your
new SSD.
• If you do not have a clone utility, or the amount of used storage on your
current HDD exceeds the available space on your new SSD, you will
need to backup your data from your current hard drive, install your OS
and applications from scratch, and then restore your data onto your
new SSD. Please be sure that you have the necessary installation disks
for your OS and programs.
• As with any computer upgrade, please ensure you are properly grounded
and free of static electricity before continuing.
