Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption

This product is great! It increased the speed of my computer tremendously. My computer only had one hard drive slot so I replaced it with the ssd entirely. this is the way I did it: first: down load the free cloning software: place the ssd in the usb interface box and connect it to a usb port on the computer you wish to update (usb 3.0 port is best.) run the program and eventually the computer will restart and will run the program. the task bar didn't seem to move so I restarted the computer and redid it; again the task bar did move, but this time I waited for about 15 to 30 minutes and eventually it did move; it copied my entire hard drive in a little more than an hour. then I replaced the hard drive with the ssd; then when I started the computer back up, windows came up in seconds instead of minutes. the speed of my computer seemed to increase anywhere between 5 to 10x faster. If you want to increase the speed of an older computer this is the way to do it!

Fast drive, no hiccups, easy to install, will see how long does it lasts... 1Tb disk on an Asus AIO with less than 10% capacity used... it should outlast the computer if the quality is there... Will update the review if this drive fails to deliver on reliability. So far everything is great.

I have a laptop (Dell Inspiron 11-6138) that was never really fast, but over the years, it has become painfully slow. I maxed the memory, which helped ever so slightly, but the real change was this drive. Going from the 5400 RPM drive to this SSD was amazing! Now don't get me wrong, it is still not lightening fast, as the processor is not a speed demon, but it is actually a joy to use. My likes, it was so easy to use! I used AMOI Partition Assistant, as I was already familiar with it, but shipping the SSD with the case and USB connector made this so that I had every thing I needed to do the job. It even came with a license for Acronis, which is the cloning software that you can download from Kingston's site. At about 1 1/2 hours into the cloning process I went to bed, so I am not really sure how long it took, but it was at 80% when I called it a night, so it was pretty fast. I woke up this AM and swapped the drives and it fired right up and works like a champ! Dislikes, I honestly can't think of a single issue with this product.

Very good product and fast delivery

Copying everything over to the new disk was easy too. It took less than 30 minutes to swap the disk. Boot time went from over a minute to 5 seconds. It works reliably.

Purchased three of these this year, one at a time. I can't compare them to other SSD's, but they are certainly faster than any of the conventional hard-drives I've used them to replace. First time through it was frustrating to find the right Clone-your-existing-drive software, WITHOUT having to pay for it or give the software vendor way too much information and access inside the home network, BUT, once I came up with the right combo it went smooth and the subsequent system drive upgrades were a breeze. (I ended up using the Macrium Reflect Free Disk Cloning tool, then deleted it once I'd cloned the internal drive.) Additionally, you will need an USB to SATA adapter (not included) over which to make the copy of your original HD.

No issues with the drive itself. Older Lenovo PC feels like a new machine now. Couldn't get the cloning software to work - it insisted that I set up an account, but then couldn't connect to the internet, even when multiple web browsers had no issues. Ended up using Macrium Reflect as some other reviewers have noted. Don't assume the people having software issues simply aren't tech-savvy enough; the included software really does have issues for some setups.
