Kingston V300 480 GB SATA SSD

The Kingston SSDNow V300 Series delivers 480 GB of internal storage in a 2.5 inch form factor. It connects through a SATA III interface and uses a SandForce controller. The drive targets users who want faster boot times and application loads without moving to a newer interface.

Upgrade from mechanical hard drives

Replacing a traditional hard drive with this SSD removes moving parts and raises sustained sequential reads and writes to 450 MBps. Random 4 KB reads reach 73,000 IOPS and writes reach 28,000 IOPS. The jump is worth it when system responsiveness matters more than maximum capacity.

Fits standard 2.5 inch bays with 3.5 inch adapter

The drive measures 7 mm in height, 69.8 mm wide and 100.1 mm deep. A 3.5 inch bracket and mounting screws are included for desktop bays. SATA data and power cables are also supplied. Cloning software on CD and an installation video on DVD simplify migration. The unit draws 0.64 W at idle and operates from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch 7mm drive fit a 3.5-inch bay with the included bracket?

Yes, the package supplies a 3.5-inch bracket and mounting screws so the 7mm drive can be secured in a standard desktop bay.

What is the common mistake when connecting the SATA data and power cables supplied in the box?

Builders often leave the SATA data cable loose or plug it into a slower port; both supplied cables must be fully seated on the drive and motherboard for 600 MB/s operation.

How long is the drive rated to run before a replacement is likely?

The manufacturer quotes a 1,000,000-hour MTBF, indicating a very long service life under normal operating temperatures of 0°C to 70°C.
