Kingston KC600 mSATA 256GB SATA Rev 3.0 SSD, 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive, mSATA Form Factor, Up to 550MB/s Read 500MB/s Write, 150TBW, HighSpeed Storage Upgrade, For Old Notebook Mini PC
Product OverviewKingston KC600 mSATA 256GB is a costeffective SATAIII internal SSD designed for legacy hardware upgrades. Adopting compact mSATA formfactor and reliable 3D TLC NAND flash, it delivers sequential speeds up to 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write, breathing new performance into older notebooks and miniPCs. Rated for 150TBW endurance, this drive provides faster system boot, snappier app launches and improved file access compared to traditional mechanical HDDs. It supports AES256 hardware encryption for data security, making it an ideal budgetfriendly dropin storage replacement for vintage laptops and smallformfactor miniPC systems.
Key Feature Bullet PointsKC600 mSATA 256GB uses industrystandard mSATA dimensions for legacy hardware equipped with native mSATA connectors. Its small footprint fits cramped chassis of oldgeneration laptops and miniPCs without extra mounting brackets. This drive cannot be installed into M.2BKey or M.2SATA slots, verify host slot type before purchasing.
SATA 3.0 HighSpeed PerformanceRunning SATA Rev 3.0 (6Gb/s) interface, this 256GB model achieves up to 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write speeds. System bootup, program startup and file copy operations are drastically accelerated versus spinning HDD. It maintains solid performance while operating under SATA 2.0 mode for older host hardware.
Reliable 3D TLC NAND & 150TBW EnduranceBuilt with quality 3D TLC NAND flash memory, this SSD carries a 150TBW endurance specification for everyday consumer workloads. It handles regular document editing, web browsing and media storage with stable performance over longterm service life.
Hardware Encryption for Data ProtectionIntegrated hardware encryption engine enables XTSAES 256bit encryption, TCG Opal 2.0 and eDrive security functions. Sensitive user data gets hardwarelevel protection with minimal system resource consumption.
Ideal BudgetFriendly LegacyHardware UpgradePerfect entrylevel storage upgrade for older notebooks, miniPCs and compatible embedded devices. Swap the original slow mechanical hard disk to cut boot times and improve overall system smoothness for OS and essential applications.
