Overview

KC600 SSD with hardware auto-encryption and optimal speeds

Kingston' s 256GB KC600 SSD dramatically improves the responsiveness of your current system with faster boot, load and transfer speeds than traditional hard drives.

    Good value for money

    This is a good SSD for small budgets! It does its job very well. And in terms of reading/writing it is as good as another model I use that costs more!
    I recommend it.
