Review: Cheap and easy upgrade - I've been using an nice, but old, desktop machine for a while whilst "putting up with" its relatively poor performance. The source of the poor performance was the fact that it's internal SSD was only 30GBytes (yes, it's that old), and so the OS and all data were stored on a slow, low power spinning hard disk instead. The solution was simply to pick up a "trailing edge" modern SSD and reinstall everything. What a difference, literally at least a 5 times performance increase effectively making the machine feel like new again. Will this do the same for you? Only you can tell. The SSD is excellent value for money, while being big enough and fast enough to move any performance bottle neck away from "old storage" into a different, but faster, area of the machine. For me this was a super upgrade which will give this machine years more life.
Review: Genuine item at a competitive price - 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 desertcart 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this include the upgrade kit?**
A: This is the one I bought and it did come with the software to clone your hard drive so I see no reason that it will have changed.  Similarly it comes with the rails and screws to install it.  Its a great pack.  Download and install software on the original PC with the drive plugged in through the USB adapter.  Shut down, swap the new drive into the existing pc and reboot. It was that simple and really surprising. I expected a lot of messing about.   It made a laptop that took hours to boot just come back to life again and work as good as new.  Having a spare external drive once your done is a nice bonus too!

**Q: Is it /will it be available in 2tb; w'site advertises it but when you click page no 2tb option? *(please don't respond if it's 'i don't know')**
A: I bought a 2TB Kingston SSD as a data disc to replace my 1TB HDD, which was beginning to fail.  Easy to do a direct replacement but you need to format it before it will function.

**Q: How is reliability with this drive, particularly the 1024GB version. Anyone had these die on them? Any critical firmware updates needed when on Linux?**
A: It's an SSD, so more reliable than conventional HDD, but high incidence continuous read/write functions on any SSD causes more longevity issues than equivalent operation on an HDD. That said, I use mine in a CCTV DVR and it has proven more reliable than OEM HDD's which were failing at the rate of 1 every 18 months. I have no experience with Linux so can't answer that part of your question.

**Q: What is the sector size of these. I require 512k, not 4096k. Thanks**
A: I think all drives are now 4k sector size or Advanced Format Drive as they are known, the manufacturers changed to that size in 2011. Is it an older motherboard that you've got ? Is it an older OS that your hoping to use, like Windows NT 3.5/1 ? 
512 bytes is the sector size of the older drives
