Title: Saved me purchasing a new laptop
Review: What an improvement. I was sceptical about purchasing and installing this SSD. However, I went ahead and how pleased I was with my decision. Physically the installation with the Kit was so easy plus the included case allows me to use the replaced HDD as an external drive. However, I was unable to use the recommended software to clone my existing OS to the SSD. For some reason, even unknown to Kingston support, after many hours of trying I couldn’t clone the OS, so I then used a free app. from the internet and that went like a breeze (hence my 4 star rating for installation). But that aside I am really pleased with the increased speed this SSD has made to my laptop making it usable for some time to come. If you have a PC with a HHD and is slow I have no hesitation in recommending this reasonably priced SSD to speed up your system.

Title: Check whether you need the whole kit or just the ssd or
Review: This is an excellent SSD. I used it to upgrade an old ACER Aspire E1-571. Greatly improved the performance of this old machine.Take some care as to whether you need the whole kit to clone your old hard drive. Otherwise you might waste some money as I did. Since the drive I was replacing had unrecoverable boot sectors, cloning it was not practical. After backing up the old drive’s files, I simply installed a new system on the new drive and copied my old backups onto the new drive. I could have thus saved money by just buying the drive. To boot, I have seen a number of postings of people having trouble with the cloning process.In hindsight, the ability of cloning your old drive onto your new drive appears to be of limited utility as long as you have good backups and know how to restore them.

Title: Genuine item at a competitive price
Review: My laptop was really slow and taking ages to boot up. I was thinking of getting a new one or taking it into the service centre for an upgrade but after a bit of research online and watching some very helpful videos on YouTube I concluded I could do it myself. This one on Amazon was a better price than going direct to Kingston for exactly the same thing with the added advantage of prime delivery. Instructions are clear and easy to follow but the procedure for downloading and activating the cloning software is a bit convoluted. Provided you have confidence enough to take the back cover off your laptop you will be able to do this. Everything worked as advertised and my laptop is now much faster and more responsive.

Title: Seems to work brilliantly now I’ve got it working!
Review: I had problems copying my W7 O/S.I bought this SSD, an IDE adapter case (to fit into my old Acer Aspire) and an IDE-USB adapter cable.The O/S wouldn’t transfer because of a bit rate transfer issue, caused by the IDE-USB cable. Because my laptop is real old i had only one way to make this work:I used Macruim Reflect 8 freeware.1. Create a Macrium Rescue USB or CD.2. Run Macrium and create an Image of your O/S or partition you want to copy, and copy onto a 3rd drive.3. Then swap the SSD for the old IDE or whatever HDD.4. Boot your PC from the Macrium Rescue USB/CD you created. Connect the 3rd drive.5. Show Macrium where the Image is on the 3rd drive, then tick the SSD drive you want to copy it to.If you get stuck, this should work for you.Review:1. I couldn’t find a Kingston IDE adapter case!!? They sell the SSDs, they sell SATA SSDs but no IDE adapter cases? I had to buy one from 3rd party!2. This SSD on it’s own, without case, is twice the price of SATA SSD for half the memory capacity. Why? 512gb SATA is £25 atm.3. Boot times gone from 150secs to 30secs.! And the old HHD only had 1.5gig of space left which isn’t a problem anymore. The whole PC is running much faster.4. The Microsoft windows experience score for my IDE HDD was 4.6. The SSD score is 6.4.I’m very happy with this SSD, i always buy Kingston storage. Would recommend.Can’t understand the price difference though..

Title: SDD KINGSTON
Review: Firstly I’d like to say I was skeptic about the tech details when I read it would reach 15x faster than HDD.It was the reason why I bought this SDD as 252GB.Well, I must say I’m really impressed and it surely is the most well performed upgrade I have been done. I’m saying honestly.At some point I decided record this video to help other people to see exactly what expect for this KIGSTON Sdd.Before I decided changing the Hd for one SDD I watched so many videos at YouTube, comparing the performances and I still was skeptics and I was wondering why not change this laptop.As you will see, it’s true what they say. The performance is now fabulous. The value of money is a bargain comparing to the result you will reach.I do recommend

Title: Cloning software specific steps!
Review: The SSD has transformed my laptop from a very slow HDD one a speedy one! Really pleased. However, I am writing the review to advise others how to install the cloning software because it’s simple (when you know how) but not as as advertised.First, I had to log in and set up an account via the Acronis website (username, email etc.) This is really important because the Kingston product key will not give you access to the Acronis True Image software. Next register the purchase using the Kingston product key on the Acronis website. Only then install the cloning software link provided from Kingston. Importantly, the product key needed for activation is the Acronis code which appears in the products section of your Acronis account once you’ve registered (it is a longer code). From then on no problems.I am really pleased with the results.

Title: My old laptop now competes with faster speed and performance with it
Review: This SSD drive should have been industry standard for long time. For example, HDD in laptops are the cause of slowing in performance. After installing this with fresh Windows 10, this old laptop is now much faster than my Intel i7 Dell laptop and for which I am planning to do the same.Working with SSD installed in laptop feels like driving computer at high speed and performance. It makes life a little bit easier by saving hours of waiting with old HDD.

Review: Se me hizo un poco caro pero la velocidad y la capacidad qué tiene se compensa, no es tanta la diferencia entre este y el pasada pero 3 a 5 veces más rápido algunos procesos vaya que se notan,además creo que así gasta menos energia la pc y pesa menos

Review: Been upgrading an old T420, this was a nice cheap drop-in that gave it plenty of storage. Be warned that there are faster and better SSD’s out there (the main drive i’m using is a samsung 850, which twice as fast), but this is a great balance of cheap and fast-enough. And at any rate, it’s far better than a spinning platter drive.Benchmarked at 261MB/s on Mint’s built-in disk benchmark tool, on the t420 in question itself.

Review: Fast drive, no hiccups, easy to install, will see how long does it lasts… 1Tb disk on an Asus AIO with less than 10% capacity used… it should outlast the computer if the quality is there… Will update the review if this drive fails to deliver on reliability. So far everything is great.
