Kingston Q500 960GB SATA3 2.5 SSD (SQ500S37/960G)

Alright so I needed a SSD to make my Computer fast in terms of booting up and other storage purposes. I wanted the storage to be a little big so I chose the 480 GB variant and I got it for Rs. 3,999. So i would like to breakdown this review into Pros and Cons, but before that i would just say that this is the best SSD you could actually get for this price. Pros : 1. It will make your PC faster in the terms of booting up (Every SSD does this but as this was my first buying experience for the SSD, I think it was a good deal) 2. Data Transfer Speed is great 3. Heavy softwares will load fast on your PC 4. Extremely light weight Cons : 1. This con might not be a problem for everyone, but while installing it I needed two screws so as to fit in the SSD Case in my Circle Gaming Cabinet . In the packaging there were no screws provided to fit it up in the SSD Case, so I had to put the screw which was used in my previous HDD. I am not sure that do other companies provide screws in the SSD package but if they do then Kingston should do the same. At last I would just say that this is the best SSD you could actually get in Rs.3,999 . I hope this review helps you while buying this SSD. Thank you :) Have a nice day!

Best SDD for who are struggling with old Laptop/Desktop, No need to change the Laptop/Desktop just change HDD to SDD. All Application are opening smoothly without struggle and fast data transfer, windows10 installation completed within 3-5mins(Just make sure you install OS on the SSD). The boot time went down from 150-180secs to 17-18secs while when you press the shutdown button it closes the system in 6secs. Invest on a good SSD and expand your old Laptop/Desktop Life span without purchasing new Laptop/Desktop.

20 year ago i have Kingstone pendrive no complain awsome fast and also damage many xp by carrying virus and worm 😉(today i know reson why).Great durability and build quality. Still 2022 Kingstone are rocking in storage hardware 666 in market.This SSD performance just awsome with budget. But i have one issu make ssd plastic case hard or use strong matarial and cost it more 500 INR no problem.

I purchased 480gb model for Rs. 4700 apprx. After using it I will say it is a must to use product due to the fact that Laptop HDDs are already very slow as compared to standard PC HDDs (5400rpm vs 7200rpm respectively). After installing it in the system you'll feel that your laptop has become a little bit lighter (not much just a tiny bit) apart from that the images are attached, as you can see the difference is just phenomenonal. The boot time went down from 41secs to 18secs while when you press the shutdown button it closes the system in 6secs. I use a 2015 model HP pavilion Laptop so keep in mind rest of the factor also affect the speed of the system but this component changes your entire working experience. Just make sure you install OS on the SSD. Final verdict - You should invest in a good SSD because they last for many years moreover whenever you feel like changing your laptop/system you can always keep it with you and install it in a different laptop/system.

My laptop has i3 7th Gen, 4GB Ram and 1TB hard disk, it was so bad at performance that I have to wait for a while after every click. It was totally impossible to use the laptop and was very frustrating. I decided to through away my laptop but at the end I thought to give this a try. I replaced the hard disk with the Kingston SSD. Kingston is a good brand. And I added Kingston ram. Then I reinstalled the windows10 and it logged in with same microsoft account which I used earlier in this laptop. Windows got activated with no problems. I m so surprised to see my old laptop running faster like a brand new laptop. Things open up in just a click. I am really happy to take a good decision. Otherwise Laptop was just an inch away from dustbin. Below are the things that no one will tell you. 1. Before you begin, download Windows10 and make it bootable in a usb from official microsoft website. (This can be done from any pc) 2. Open laptop back cover and replace hardware. 3. Windows product key is in BIOS and it is automatically picked otherwise you can get your product key from BIOS by using command-prompt. Google commands. 4. Install a fresh windows. All done.

It's really amazing compared to my laptop hdd and the sequential read and write speed is also good and is very lightweight and value for money. I have tested with my SSD USB 3.0 adapter. Only thing is as mentioned and as expected the memory that will be usable is only 447GB not 480... Initially if you connect the SSD to pc for the first time, it won't show you in file manager. You have to allocate the memory in NTFS format by going to control panel. There are youtube videos available on how to do.. please check before considering if the new drive is faulty or good.. Thank you.

I purchased in Amazon Great Indian Festival 2022 480GB for Rs. 2699/- I Installed in 10 year Old Desktop I bought the SSD because my Drive have some Bad Sectors My Desktop Configuration : Intel G2030 Processor Gigabyte Motherboard 8GB DDR3 RAM 500GB Harddisk.
