1TB SATA SSD for PC and laptop upgrades

The Kingston KC600 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with 1TB capacity. It uses 3D TLC NAND and a Silicon Motion SM2259 controller with 1GB DRAM cache. Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 520 MBps. Random 4K performance hits 90,000 read IOPS and 80,000 write IOPS.

Replaces mechanical hard drives and older SATA SSDs

Swapping a spinning drive for this model cuts boot and load times dramatically. Moving from a drive without hardware encryption adds AES 256-bit XTS protection with TCG Opal and eDrive support. The jump is worth it when your system feels sluggish on a hard drive or an earlier SSD lacks full-disk encryption.

Check 2.5-inch bay and SATA III port

Verify your desktop or notebook has a free 2.5-inch slot and a SATA III connection. The drive is 7mm high and draws 0.06W idle. No cloning software is included in the box. MTBF is rated at 1,000,000 hours.
