What the drive is and who it fits

The Kingston KC600 is a 512GB internal solid state drive built on 3D NAND with a SATA III interface. It uses an mSATA form factor and includes a 512MB DRAM cache driven by an SM2259 controller. Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 520 MBps. The drive targets consumer laptops or desktops that have a free mSATA slot.

Check your system before ordering

Verify that your motherboard or laptop provides an mSATA connector and that the BIOS recognises SATA III devices. Confirm the physical slot is not shared with a full-size PCIe lane that would disable the mSATA port. Ensure the operating system supports AHCI mode for best performance. No extra cables or brackets are required beyond the slot itself.

Build quality and daily implications

The drive weighs 2.0000 grams and uses a bare PCB design typical for mSATA modules. Because it plugs directly into the slot, there are no cables to route or brackets to secure. The SATA III link caps transfer rates at the quoted 550 and 520 MBps figures. The DRAM cache helps sustain write consistency during everyday workloads.

Questions about this item

Will this mSATA drive fit my laptop that has a 2.5-inch SATA bay?

No, the drive uses the mSATA form factor which is physically smaller than a 2.5-inch drive and requires a dedicated mSATA slot on the motherboard.

Does the drive need a separate DRAM cache module to reach its rated speeds?

No, the controller includes 512MB of integrated DRAM cache on the drive itself so no extra module is required.

My motherboard only supports SATA II — will the drive still work?

Yes, the SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA II ports, though sequential speeds will be limited to the SATA II maximum.
