Kingston SSDNow V300 480GB SATA III Internal SSD

This Kingston SSDNow V300 drive is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with a 480GB capacity and a SATA III interface. It uses a SandForce controller and includes a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter, a USB enclosure and an installation DVD in the bundle kit.

Suits notebook and desktop upgrades needing

The 7mm height fits standard 2.5-inch bays and the supplied adapter allows installation in 9.5mm slots. Systems that require an M.2 or PCIe interface cannot use this drive.

SATA III interface with up to 450MBps sequential

The SATA III connection delivers sustained sequential speeds of up to 450MBps read and 450MBps write. This single interface specification determines whether the drive matches the host system.

Questions about this item

Do I need a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay or an adapter to install this 7mm-high drive?

The kit includes a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter so the 2.5-inch SATA III SSD fits standard laptop bays that expect a 9.5mm height.

Will this SATA III SSD work in an older laptop that only supports SATA 3Gbps?

Yes, the SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA 3Gbps ports, though sequential speeds will be limited to the older link rate.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 450 MB/s sequential read and write after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark; the results should show sustained sequential read and write speeds approaching 450 MB/s on a SATA 6Gbps connection.
