The controller uses the latest Silicon Motion NANDXtend, a proprietary ECC technology that uses LDPC hard and soft decoding as well as RAID protection, all of which enhance the P/E cycles of 3D NAND ensuring both data integrity and SSD lifespan.

Here we show the total bandwidth performance for each of the individual test suites for the third and final benchmark run.

We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition. CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. If you choose to pay a little extra Kingston will provide a very nice installation kit that includes a 2. Looking at the overall picture of Kingston's KC600 PCMark 8 Consistency Test run, we can see that it wasn't exactly plain sailing for the drive. The Crucial P1 kicks the KC600 to the kerb, purely because of the superior interface it utilises if nothing else.

Being able to hardware encrypt the whole drive has been a feature of high-end SSDs for some time, but Kingston offers it here to give the KC600 a complete feature set that rivals what Samsung offers on its 860 series. Just like the Consistency test, PCMark 8’s Standard Storage test also saves a large amount of performance data. The Kingston KC600 line-up comprises three capacities (at the time of writing), the entry 256GB model, 512GB and 1TB (the drive we are reviewing here). Interface SATA 6Gb/s Data Transfer Rate 600 MBps Features 3D NAND Technology, eDrive, Silicon Motion SM2259 controller Dimensions (WxDxH) 69. The KC600 utilises the latest 3D TLC NAND technology while supporting a full security suite that includes AES 256-bit hardware encryption, TCG Opal 2.

The two halves of the enclosure are held together by four Torx security screws one of which is hidden under the warranty sticker, so by accessing the internals of the drive you can kiss your warranty goodbye. PCMark 8’s Consistency test provides a huge amount of performance data, so here we’ve looked a little closer at how the KC600 performs in each of the benchmarks test suites.

Servers Plus Business accounts have the option of 30-day credit terms, and a dedicated technical pre-sales account manager. The kit version is also worth considering, as it packs in useful extras like software and a drive enclosure at a very reasonable premium. If you work from home or are thinking of doing so in the future you need to have the right tools available to do your job as efficiently as possible.SSD is the KC600 which features a full security suite which should appeal to the business end of the market, if no-one else. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. The KC600 sounds promising and we have a 1TB drive with kit to test, so let’s not make Dave keep reading any longer and get right to the good stuff. If you want the ultimate SSD performance, then choose NVMe PCIe drives, as they are up to six times faster than the KC600 can ever be, irrespective of what system you connect it to.

AS SSD is another benchmarking tool quite similar to CrystalDiskMark, which uses predominantly incompressible data across a range of workloads including sequential tests, random performance and access times. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.We use “Kingston” to refer to our trading companies based in the United Kingdom, and their legal successors.
