This SSD means business.

Kingston’s business-equipped KC100 solid-state drive is based on the

award-winning SandForce® second-generation SSD processor and

features SATA Rev. 3.0 (6Gb/s) to deliver exceptional performance and

speed. It’s backwards compatible — install in your current SATA Rev. 2.0

systems, then use again when you get new SATA Rev. 3.0 systems to help

future-proof your investment.

KC100 comes with Data Integrity Protection featuring DuraClass™ and

DuraWrite™ technology to optimise endurance, performance, data

retention and power consumption, plus advanced wear levelling and

monitoring with Flash recycling and garbage collection to maximise

consistent performance over the life of the drive.
