KC600 SSD 256GB SATA3 mSATA - SKC600MS/256G

I've been using an nice, but old, desktop machine for a while whilst "putting up with" its relatively poor performance. The source of the poor performance was the fact that it's internal SSD was only 30GBytes (yes, it's that old), and so the OS and all data were stored on a slow, low power spinning hard disk instead. The solution was simply to pick up a "trailing edge" modern SSD and reinstall everything. What a difference, literally at least a 5 times performance increase effectively making the machine feel like new again. Will this do the same for you? Only you can tell. The SSD is excellent value for money, while being big enough and fast enough to move any performance bottle neck away from "old storage" into a different, but faster, area of the machine. For me this was a super upgrade which will give this machine years more life.

Worked the first time out of the pack. Tried a few other manufacturers and had loads of issues with the drive not being recognised.

Have bought three of these as the system drives for three different used PCs, and all have been fine.

This SSD drive should have been industry standard for long time. For example, HDD in laptops are the cause of slowing in performance. After installing this with fresh Windows 10, this old laptop is now much faster than my Intel i7 Dell laptop and for which I am planning to do the same. Working with SSD installed in laptop feels like driving computer at high speed and performance. It makes life a little bit easier by saving hours of waiting with old HDD.

I had problems copying my W7 O/S. I bought this SSD, an IDE adapter case (to fit into my old Acer Aspire) and an IDE-USB adapter cable. The O/S wouldn't transfer because of a bit rate transfer issue, caused by the IDE-USB cable. Because my laptop is real old i had only one way to make this work: I used Macruim Reflect 8 freeware. 1. Create a Macrium Rescue USB or CD. 2. Run Macrium and create an Image of your O/S or partition you want to copy, and copy onto a 3rd drive. 3. Then swap the SSD for the old IDE or whatever HDD. 4. Boot your PC from the Macrium Rescue USB/CD you created. Connect the 3rd drive. 5. Show Macrium where the Image is on the 3rd drive, then tick the SSD drive you want to copy it to. If you get stuck, this should work for you. Review: 1. I couldn't find a Kingston IDE adapter case!!? They sell the SSDs, they sell SATA SSDs but no IDE adapter cases? I had to buy one from 3rd party! 2. This SSD on it's own, without case, is twice the price of SATA SSD for half the memory capacity. Why? 512gb SATA is £25 atm. 3. Boot times gone from 150secs to 30secs.! And the old HHD only had 1.5gig of space left which isn't a problem anymore. The whole PC is running much faster. 4. The Microsoft windows experience score for my IDE HDD was 4.6. The SSD score is 6.4. I'm very happy with this SSD, i always buy Kingston storage. Would recommend. Can't understand the price difference though..

Very easy to install. Plenty of free software out there to “ghost“ the original drive contents over. Speed increase is extremely good, although I haven’t done a speed test yet but nonetheless, I am impressed.

A friend fitted a 500GB Kingston SSD to his PC, and was so happy with the result, that I decided to fit one too. My PC was a bane to use, taking at least 15 minutes to boot up properly. Noisy and 'chattering' all the time. With his help, a lead he had purchased, and freely available software, we cloned the old 1TB HDD to the new 1TB SSD. It took about 2.5 hours for his to clone, but mine took over three hours (possibly because it was 1TB). When it was done, EVERYTHING was as it was - except now, it is LIGHTNING FAST! Saved me buying a new PC, and it's now a joy to use.

Easy to install and works with no problems. Great for any computer.

El mejor SSD SATA actualmente ya que descontinuaron el Crucial MX500

Amizing

Do their job without an issue.

Inte snabbaste disken, men pris-/prestanda-/kapacitets-förhållandet är bra. Dessutom har den inbyggd hårdvarukryptering.

Jättebra
