KingstonKC600 SSD SKC600/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption

Fitted in one of my older laptops which was painstakingly slow. Perfect replacement and a straight forward boot instal of W11 24H2. Folders cloned from other in house laptop and running efficiently and fast now.

What an improvement. I was sceptical about purchasing and installing this SSD. However, I went ahead and how pleased I was with my decision. Physically the installation with the Kit was so easy plus the included case allows me to use the replaced HDD as an external drive. However, I was unable to use the recommended software to clone my existing OS to the SSD. For some reason, even unknown to Kingston support, after many hours of trying I couldn't clone the OS, so I then used a free app. from the internet and that went like a breeze (hence my 4 star rating for installation). But that aside I am really pleased with the increased speed this SSD has made to my laptop making it usable for some time to come. If you have a PC with a HHD and is slow I have no hesitation in recommending this reasonably priced SSD to speed up your system.

The media could not be loaded. Firstly I’d like to say I was skeptic about the tech details when I read it would reach 15x faster than HDD.It was the reason why I bought this SDD as 252GB.Well, I must say I’m really impressed and it surely is the most well performed upgrade I have been done. I’m saying honestly.At some point I decided record this video to help other people to see exactly what expect for this KIGSTON Sdd.Before I decided changing the Hd for one SDD I watched so many videos at YouTube, comparing the performances and I still was skeptics and I was wondering why not change this laptop.As you will see, it’s true what they say. The performance is now fabulous. The value of money is a bargain comparing to the result you will reach.I do recommend

When I came to clone my existing HDD to the Kingston SSD, I experienced a problem with the software. On further investigation I discovered that Acronis no longer support the software download provided by Kingston, so it would always fail no matter what I did. I downloaded Macrium Reflect free version and this resolved the issue.The fault lies with Kingston who provide the kit, not Acronis, I purchased a Kingston product, who don't ensure the software is up to date.Installation was easy, and now my laptop is much quicker.

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.

This is an excellent SSD. I used it to upgrade an old ACER Aspire E1-571. Greatly improved the performance of this old machine.Take some care as to whether you need the whole kit to clone your old hard drive. Otherwise you might waste some money as I did. Since the drive I was replacing had unrecoverable boot sectors, cloning it was not practical. After backing up the old drive's files, I simply installed a new system on the new drive and copied my old backups onto the new drive. I could have thus saved money by just buying the drive. To boot, I have seen a number of postings of people having trouble with the cloning process.In hindsight, the ability of cloning your old drive onto your new drive appears to be of limited utility as long as you have good backups and know how to restore them.

The SSD has transformed my laptop from a very slow HDD one a speedy one! Really pleased. However, I am writing the review to advise others how to install the cloning software because it's simple (when you know how) but not as as advertised.First, I had to log in and set up an account via the Acronis website (username, email etc.) This is really important because the Kingston product key will not give you access to the Acronis True Image software. Next register the purchase using the Kingston product key on the Acronis website. Only then install the cloning software link provided from Kingston. Importantly, the product key needed for activation is the Acronis code which appears in the products section of your Acronis account once you've registered (it is a longer code). From then on no problems.I am really pleased with the results.

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.
