Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600B/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption - With upgrade kit

We have had a Toshiba Satellite Laptop for some time, mainly for playing SIMS 4. We found that after upgrading to the latest version of WIndows 10 (2004) that performance suffered massively. Processor and RAM were fine so I decided to swap out the old hard drive for a shiney new SSD. Decided on the KC600 1TB as its fully supported on my laptop and also came with the full upgrade kit which was handy! That, alongside its capacity & price point were the compelling factors for purchasing. As i didn't want to lose anything, I simply booted into Windows on my laptop and then attached the SSD via USB (using the cradle supplied with the kit). You do get a coupon with the kit to download and use Acronis software but I opted to use Macrium Reflect Free home edition. So, installed Macrium Reflect attached the SSD via USB and then just ran the software. Selected CLONE and then selected all my existing partitions to clone onto the SSD and hit GO. 30 minutes later the clone had completed without issue so it was time to shutdown the laptop and swap out the drives. I removed the old hard drive and replaced it with the SSD and then got ready for lift off! WOW - boot time went from over 2 minutes to a ridiculous 7 seconds to get the WIN10 login splash screen. Logging in and seeing the desktop instantly appear with no lag or jitter is just incredible. The big test was of course running SIMS 4 and I confess it has never run so fast or so smooth on this laptop! So in summary - cloning my existing hard drive means I lost no data and so could simply swap out the existing hard drive with the SSD and keep everything (operating system included) without issue. Boot, login and gaming performance improved beyond my expectations. Highly recommended - this basically saved me purchasing a new gaming laptop and the performance we now have is amazing for an i5 laptop with 8GB RAM!

On the top end of value but I suppose you pay for quality, only time will tell if the value for money is there. Very easy to install the actual unit into my notebook although be aware that although the kit that comes with it is great and easy to use the cloning program supplied doesn’t work in many drives and mine was in of them. After many attempts I eventually fresh installed windows to the drive. Worth looking into before buying the kit with the drive as I could have bought the cheaper option of drive only. My own mistake!

Easy to fit into a desktop system just the terrible acronis cloning software wouldn't work.. must have had 6 or 7 attempts at it but would never boot up correctly.. Asked a friend who gave me another (free) clone software to try and it worked first time.. Now the drive has been up and running for a few weeks and not had any issues at all.. Nice and fast boot times, search times and programs seem to run a lot faster..

Replacing the existing drive in my Toshiba laptop has transformed the computer. The machine boots in seconds rather than minutes and Word and Excel files open almost instantly. The supplied software made cloning the existing drive easy. Fitting the drive was a doddle. It took less than 21/2 minutes from picking up the screwdriver to remove the access cover to having the Windows desktop open running from the new drive.

The sdd comes with all the bits you could possible want. The software, however, didn't work. I contacted Acronis, the software providers and paid £14 for assistance. Having wasted 5 hours trying to do it myself, it seemed the best way was to pay for help. When I spoke to Acronis, it turned out that it wasn't their software, but a copy. I then had to pay for the full version of the cloning software. So, keep this in mind. It all works now and was easy to do, once I had the real software. I saved £40 buying from Amazon rather than direct from Kingston, but then spent £35 for the software. Luckily Acronis refunded me the £14 for assistance.

We got this today and have it already up and running in our laptop. We cloned the old hdd (from the laptop) onto the new ssd with a software, using the license key that was included in the product. It was seamless and quick! Absolutely worth the money - laptop is sooooo much quicker now!!

Of all the upgrades I've made to my ten year old Dell 545 Desktop, this has been by far the best. Brilliant software bundled with the product and the drive is a fraction of the size and weight of the original drive. The computer now boots in seconds rather than minutes and programs load instantly. Just note that the included drive to USB cable if needed is hidden in the drive case. Plenty of advice on YouTube if you need it.

Very easy to install. Supplied software is easy to use and you end up with a very useful large usb3 drive when finished. Performance excellent. The PC you thought you would need to replace is now working super fast with this drive.

I'm amazed by how it has improved the speed of my old computer. I would recommend this kit that contain everything to upgrade any kind of computer or laptop. The only think I could complaint about is the Acronis software. To activate the free license, the process is a bit cumbersome and there's some online steps, then on computer, than email for a code, back to the software... Besides that I would definitely recommend.

ممتاز جداً شكراً لكم

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.

Très facile à installer, données transférées sans problème, et quelle différence au démarrage comme à l'affichage !
