Kingston 120 GB 2.5" SATA drive

This internal solid-state drive offers 120 GB of storage in a standard 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It is built around a Phison PS3110-S10 controller and carries an endurance rating of 0.89 DWPD. The drive weighs 0.51 units and suits basic storage upgrades for laptops or desktops.

Suits light workloads not heavy write tasks

The 0.89 DWPD rating makes this SSD appropriate for operating system boots, office applications and general read-heavy usage. Users running databases, video editing scratch disks or other sustained high-write workloads should consider drives with higher endurance specifications.

0.89 DWPD endurance defines the use case

The 0.89 drive writes per day figure is the key specification that determines whether this SSD matches your workload profile. If your daily write volume stays within this endurance envelope the drive will deliver reliable service for typical client computing tasks.
