Kingston® solid-state drives, also called SSDs, have features that meet the storage needs of almost any computer user. Consumer and business models enhance desktop and laptop performance, enterprise products handle the demands of 24/7 data center environments, and SSDs for system builders include form factors that fit in laptop cases or devices such as point-of-sale systems or digital signage. Browse the selection of computer storage products available at Staples® and find a Kingston solid-state drive to handle any home or business data storage need.

Kingston Solid-State Drives Deliver High-speed Access to Data
An SSD stores files on a set of solid state memory chips instead of the spinning platters found in traditional hard drives. Many consumer and business models can read and write 500 to 550 MB of data per second, and select enterprise drives can read and write 6,000 to 6,800 megabytes per second. These products have capacities of 120GB to 3.2TB, making it simple to find a Kingston SSD that meets any data storage requirement. Drives with SATA interfaces are compatible with most desktop or rack-mounted computers, while mSATA and M.2 units are small enough to fit in laptop cases. Enterprise drives with NVMe interfaces are an excellent option for high-demand data centers.

Kingston Solid-State Drives Offer Reliable Data Storage
Dependability is a critical feature of any data storage system, and Kingston drives have features that help ensure data integrity. Most have a life expectancy of one million hours. S.M.A.R.T. technology monitors drive health and can predict potential hardware failures before they occur, preventing data loss. Many models also support user-configurable over-provisioning. This process creates a reserve of storage space the drive controller can use to replace worn or failed memory. Over-provisioning extends the device's useful life and enhances data reliability.

What Operating Systems Are Compatible with Kingston Solid-State Drives?
The SATA interface used on most Kingston products is OS-independent, meaning these drives are compatible with almost any operating system. NVMe SSD drives intended for enterprise applications may require specialized hardware and software solutions.

How Do Kingston Solid-State Drives Compare to Hard Disks?
SSDs read and write data five to 10 times faster than hard disks, speeding up system boot times and reducing file load and save times. Solid state drives also use less power and produce less heat than hard drives, which can decrease office or data center energy and cooling costs. While hard disks typically cost less per gigabyte than SSDs, the price gap is shrinking. Solid state drives are ideal for any storage task that requires fast data access. Hard disks are a good choice for bulk file storage or applications where speed is not a factor.

Are Kingston Solid-State Drives Easy to Install?
Installing a Kingston SSD in a home or business desktop is a relatively simple process. They have a standard form factor that fits most drive bays and standard connectors for power and data. Anyone that can follow simple directions, use a screwdriver, and ground themselves to prevent static discharges can probably install an SSD. Kingston bundles many of their drives with accessory kits that include everything needed to add extra storage to a computer.
