I am very happy that I bought the KC600 SSD 1024GB2.5" from Kingston ! Kingston is a well known brand with a high reputation company that I have trusted for a while. I have done a great amount time, searching internet just by "best SATA SSD", Kingston products shows up almost everywhere. I was looking for a SSD with SATA interface, balanced in its functionality, performance, reliability, and price. The product description of the KC600 says, "... , It comes in both 2.5" and mSATA form factors using SATA Rev 3.0 interface with backwards compatibility. The KC600 utilizes the latest 3D TLC NAND technology while supporting a full-security suite that includes AES 256-bit hardware encryption, TCG Opal, and eDrive. It features read/write speeds up to 550/520MB/s to efficiently store your data up to 2TB ". It also provides " limited 5-year warranty with free technical support ". Many other brands only provides " limited 2-year warranty ". I can see that Kingston has a very high reliability confidence for their products, Besides, many other brands SSD don't come with a hardware encryption available. The installation is very easy. Its performance is excellent. I was so happy with my KC600. You know what, 5 days later, I bought 3 more pieces of KC600 for my other systems.
