even with the new ones SSDs with connection technology NVMe PCI Express promising to dominate the next generation of solid state drives, devices with a SATA connection are still very popular. Thinking this way, Kingston invested in its newest SSD model, the KC600 2.5″. O KC600 SSD Kingston is available with storage capacities of 2TB, 1TB, 512GB and 256GB. It is a storage unit with good specifications and hardware based on data encryption. 5k4w11
O showmetech received a copy of Kingston's 600 GB KC512 SSD and, after a week of testing the device, we bring you a complete analysis presenting the results obtained in various performance tests.
Design and hardware 3w934
O Kingston KC600 SSD is a solid state drive that uses the traditional format of 2,5" and a connection interface SATA 3. That means it's perfect for any laptop or desktop PC. SATA 3.0 s data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gb / s, although no SSD can reach them yet. It uses a controller SM2259, and models with a storage capacity of 512 GB or more can achieve incredible sequential read/write speeds of up to 550/520 MB/s.
The random read/write speeds of 4K that Kingston's KC600 SSD can achieve are up to 90.000/80.000 IOPS (input/output operations per second). 4K random read/write is a disk access pattern whereby small blocks of data (4 Kbytes) are read/written from random locations on the surface of the device being tested at a queue depth of one drive. we use the CrystalDiskInfo to display all SSD technical information as you can see below:
in the manufacture of KC600 SSD, Kingston uses memory 3D TLC flash. This type of memory allows large storage capacity to fit into small volumes. In addition, 3D TLC memory is also the most reliable type currently on the solid-state disk technology market.
Kingston's KC600 SSD is not only fast (for a SATA drive) but also offers excellent security thanks to its hardware-based encryption. XTS-AES 256-bit. In of design, the SSD has the typical dimensions of a 2,5" SATA drive: 100,1x69,85x7mm and its weight is negligible: 40 grams.
Performance 58a2u
To check the performance of Kingston's KC600 SSD we used several benchmark tools. We first analyzed the boot time of the machine where the SSD was installed. In all our tests the SSD was connected to the optical drive of a Lenovo Ideapad 330. Through the boot test of the Boot Racer on a clean install of Windows 10, we measured an average boot time of around 38 seconds, an excellent result.
To check the performance of Kingston KC600 SSD in relation to its read/write operations, we used the CrystalDiskMark, which can measure the sequential and random read/write speeds of the hard disk. The results show that the KC600 SSD achieved good speeds.
Finally, we performed a last data read/write test with the DiskMark. The results obtained through this test prove that the write and read speeds of the Kingston KC600 SSD were satisfactory.
Price 4t2ce
O Kingston KC600 SSD can be found in the main electronics stores in the Brazilian market:
The price may seem a little steep when compared to its main competitors like SanDisk and Western Digital, but when we take into all the quality present in the device and the great performance in the performance tests, this is a worthwhile investment. Keep in mind that the larger the SSD's storage capacity, the more expensive it will be.
Conclusion on Kingston's KC600 SSD 18311u
O Kingston KC600 SSD is a fast solid state drive that includes built-in hardware encryption, which makes it an attractive choice for s who are interested in protecting their data. In addition, the unit performed very well in our benchmark tests. Overall, we believe this solid state drive is an excellent choice if you're looking to upgrade your PC or laptop and still don't want to invest heavily in an SSD with technology. PCI NVMe.
