    KTC-Premium-Etail-HTML—A400main-prod-image-1000x1000-

    Kingston’s Q500 solid-state drive dramatically improves the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading and transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a latest gen controller for read and write speeds up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s1, this SSD is 10x faster than a traditional hard drive1 for higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking and an overall faster system.

    Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, Q500 is built with Flash memory. There are no moving parts, making it less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It’s also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

    Q500 is available in multiple capacities from 120GB–480GB2 to give you all the space you need for applications, videos, photos and other important documents. You can also replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with a drive big enough to hold all your files.

    This SSD is designed for use in desktop and notebook computer workloads, and is not intended for Server environments.

    Highlights:

    • Fast start-up, loading and file transfers
    • More reliable and durable than a hard drive
    • Multiple capacities with space for applications or a hard drive replacement

    10x faster than a hard drive

    With incredible read/write speeds the Q500 SSD will not only increase performance but can also be used to breathe new life into older systems.

    Rugged

    Q500 is shock- and vibration-resistant for rugged reliability when used in notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

    Multiple capacities

    Available in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities, Q500 is designed to suit anyone’s needs

    Ideal for desktops and notebooks

    Q500 has a 7mm form factor to fit in a wider array of systems. It’s ideal for slimmer notebooks and in systems with limited available space.

    1. Based on “out-of-box performance” using a SATA Rev. 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software and usage. IOMETER Random 4k Random Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.
    2. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.

    I got this installed on my old HP Pavillion X360 Convertible x13-s101tu model which is now discontinued by HP and support withdrawn. THe Laptop was lying in the corner so I decided to bring it to use. Replaced the mechanical Toshiba HDD with this Kingston 240Gb q500 SSD. Cloned my OS using Macrium Reflect software and Volia ! my Laptop has become super fast like todays Generation laptops.

    I am indeed very contented with this purchase. Kingston SSD are good and so is their Memory if purchased Original.

    I surely recommend this SSD in budget level for old valueless laptops. Cheers

    Works fine and the speed is very good as it is Solid State Drive (SSD).Boot time for Windows 11 in my old desktop is now just 10 to 15 seconds. File transfer is ultra fast now. I should have bought it long time but better late than never. Just go for it if you have any old laptop or desktop and you will be surprised how fast it is. Value for money product.

    Does a job and does it well. Plug and Play Installation, just need to format it.

    I installed this SSD in my old laptop manufactured in 2013, using this SSD as a primary volume.

    Increased in boot time and overall application performance.

    Try to buy it in any Sale with some additional offers to squeeze out more value of your investment.

    Just a single CON : Lack of DRAM Cache, but you wont notice it until you're on heavy workload.
