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! Review: Very good but kit may not work on certain existing drives - 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! ## Features - Remarkable performance - Features the latest 3D TLC NAND technology - Supports a full security suite (TCG Opal, AES 256-bit, eDrive) - Available in range of full capacities ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08144LC8J | | Best Sellers Rank | 32,262 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 169 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | 2.5" SSD,2.5" USB enclosure,3.5" bracket and mounting screws,SATA power and data cable,7mm to 9.5mm adapter,Hard drive cloning software | | Brand Name | Kingston | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 1 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (132) | | Data Transfer Rate | 550520 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1024 GB | | Form Factor | 2.5" SATA | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00740617300154 | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard-Drive Size | 1024 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Type Name | ssd | | Item Weight | 40 Grams | | Manufacturer | Kingston | | Manufacturer Part Number | SKC600B/1024G | | Media Speed | 520.0 | | Model Name | SKC600B | | Model Number | SKC600B/1024G | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Backward Compatible | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Read Speed | 550 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Laptop, Desktop/Notebook Upgrade | | UPC | 740617300154 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kingston - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 1024 GB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Backward Compatible ## Images ![Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600B/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption - With upgrade kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NIdU-5APL.jpg) ![Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600B/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption - With upgrade kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NkOqJJa+L.jpg) ![Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600B/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption - With upgrade kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71B2GN8rlPL.jpg) ![Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600B/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption - With upgrade kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yjNWgBuDL.jpg) ![Kingston KC600 SSD SKC600B/1024G Internal SSD 2.5", SATA Rev 3.0, 3D TLC, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption - With upgrade kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JyyXsABpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price - excellent performance *by L***S on 15 July 2020* We have had a Toshiba Satellite Laptop for some time, mainly for playing SIMS 4.

Shame about the clone software *by M***R on 30 November 2020* 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.. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/174257315-kingston-kc600-ssd-skc600b-1024g-internal-ssd-2-5-sata](https://www.desertcart.us/products/174257315-kingston-kc600-ssd-skc600b-1024g-internal-ssd-2-5-sata) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
