small capacity

its not great, its not bad. perfect for a boot drive + a few games, other than that youll need more storage.

Looks nice.

This is the third time this drive has quit working and needs to be replaced by the factory. It stopped working several times but I was able to reboot or unplug it and plug it in again and get it working fortunately so I was able to transfer all the data to another drive. Since I couldn't trust it I used it as a temporary drive but a couple of weeks operation was all it took before it quit permanently.

Don't trust it.

1-year life span

Bought this SSD on sale 1 year ago, and it died without any notice. It's so frustrating. Kingston has a very bad reputation for SSD quality. I would suggest to spend more $ on a better brand.

I've installed 10+ of these drives on work computers, and the experience has always been positive. Easy to install and provides a great performance increase. I know others report issues with these drives, but I've never had a problem. They do slow down once you fill them past 200GBs however, so we always try to keep them clean.

Bought one of these 14 months ago and yesterday it just crapped itself. shut pc down the night before no issues. went to turn it on and I get NO OS on startup of my rig. pulled drive and checked with my tech rig and shows a disk size of 74 bytes with 0% free no partitions on it either. nothing I can really do about it sooooo just spreading a warning.

Installed five of these, three died within a year and the remaining two a few months later. Their warranty replacements fared even worse.

Poorly designed as you never get block redirect warning or simple cell loss, its always a full internal controller / mesh loss without warning taking all data out in a blink. There are far better options at this price point nowadays and luckily Memex stocks them all.
