Kingston Hyper 120GB 2.5 SATA is a well-designed solid state drive available with standard 2.5-inch form factor for compatibility with notebooks and desktops. A 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch mounting bracket is included with the SSD for compatibility with standard hard drive mounting. The SSD drive has a rugged feeling to it and takes an average time of 10 - 15 seconds to login screen from power on, and is straightaway ready to use after you have logged in.



The SSD includes the latest SandForce controller technology with premium NAND Flash, reducing load times while increasing performance and endurance. It provides high-speed SATA Rev 3.0 (6 GB/s) transfer speeds for larger bandwidth, which power users require for advanced gaming, multitasking and multimedia computing power.

The drive has TRIM command support, which allows the OS to inform the SSD about blocks of data that are no longer in use, so the SSD can wipe that data internally, freeing up space. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds. We tested the drive's speed on Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM and found the drive registering a speed of 271MB/sec.



The SSD further includes DVD for SSD disk cloning software, along with a screw driver to assemble the SSD. The USB enclosure, SATA cable and USB cable are also available with the box.

Bottomline: A high-speed SSD which is useful for people with heavy data transfer needs.
