KingFast 120GB SSD (6Gb/s, m-SATA III mSATA III, MLC) /Ultrabook Internal Solid State Drive

Review of: 128GB mSATA SSDLike most people I was attracted by the price. And guessing it was coming from 'The East' was happy to accept a long delivery time - turned out to be extremely fast, still have 9 left before it should officially arrive!I bought this because I have a infrequently used HTPC which had a single 500MB 2.5" HDD. Problem of course was that every time I did switch it on Microsoft decided to hammer the HDD for me, making it less likely to be switched on again. I'did noticed the the HTPC had a spare miniPCIe slot which could be switched to function as a mSATA slot (at the cost of being only SATA II, (300MB/s max). As the 500MB HDD seemed to do only about 90MB/s R/W sequential and of course was hellish with Windows 10 desperate need for random small file fetches, I thought for the price, what the heck - I'll buy and move the OS over to the mSATA slot leaving the 500MB HDD as a media backup drive.Pros:(a) Has the best packaging I have every seen for a SDD card.(b) Instructions were clear - had no need of them but considerate touch.(c) Performance was fair - 260 to 270 MB/s read, 105 MB/s write sequential on a mSATA II (max 300 Mb/s read) slot.Cons:(a) No motherboard screws - they are not easy to source.Result: My mini PC boots up fairly fast and recovers from Microsoft's drive hammering fairly quickly. The little system with a Celeron 1037U now subjectively performs general social, internet, mail and office tasks with the niftiness of my i7 4770 PC. It's actually hard to notice the difference for such tasks.Will up date if it subsequently falls over, but so far excellent!PS: For those interested motherboard used the Intel NM70-TI chipset

Have been using this in an msata to ssd external case.Had it originally in a laptop, it worked fine, but was to small, so got a ssd to replace it.I now use it as portable storage and it is very light, quick and so far reliable.I can't fault the unit, but do ensure your laptop can work with this device.

I spent many years building PCs, mainly for the education market, and experienced pretty much all levels of hard drive performance, from the very slow to the very adequate. I stopped running that business just before SSDs hit the market, and unbelievably this is my first SSD drive. I considered them a few times, but prices were high and capacities low. How times change, these are now highly affordable, and in performance terms they make standard hard drives look very slow indeed.This has the mSATA III connector, which is the laptop base version, and can be used in a desktop with a cheap simple adaptor. I've purchased an mSATA external drive case to connect this to my laptop via USB 3.0. This does mean I won't get the full performance I would expect if installing it as a primary drive, since the USB 3.0 transfer rate will be the limiting performance factor, but it still means I get blisteringly fast search and access times, and also blows away the performance of my older 500Gb external drive whilst using a fraction of the power. Using USB 3.0 also means not having to worry about going for the absolute latest, fastest and most expensive SSD.A final benefit worth mentioning is the weight, even in the drive case it weighs practically nothing, and I can store movies and music to take with me when away in the campervan, without worrying about running out of space on the laptop. It's also great for moving large MP4 files around from PC to PC for the many videos myself and my wife make, of sports and events we enjoy.

Purchased this Kingfast SSD in April 2015, I was a little dubious about purchasing tech from an unknown (to me) brand, as I have a number of Samsung SSD drives but have also purchased OCZ and Corsair drives in the past which are all still going strong. This SSD was to be used as a backup/second drive so I thought I would give it ago.I installed the drive without issue and performance was good as reported elsewhere. The drive has worked flawlessly since April, however unfortunately the other night the drive reported errors and has essentially failed, I have tried various options to format/recover the drive without success.I contacted the supplier based in China via Amazon, they responded next day & offered to replace the drive once they receive the failed unit. You can’t expect more which is fair enough.In practice I will stick it in the bin & replace with a Samsung device, I assume based on the excellent feedback I have just been unlucky but though this might be useful to others.The one star might be a little harsh but it’s failed after 6-7 months as a second drive with little use which is pretty poor.

Extremely cheap for M.2 Sata SSD drive.Works perfectly. No problems at all.Good performence and access times.Excelent for games that takes long to load e.g. Sims or Witcher 3

Two stars for the price but sadly ssd stopped working after one day... So I had to return it and replaced with Samsung.

well I bought it for specific reason-I found laptop dell latitude 420d, unfortunately it was running on 60 Gigs 1.6 in ZIF interface old Ipod HDD. Since power is not my priority but battery life-I decided for King Fast... SO for: 1 price is not bad at all, 2 capacity more than welcome,3 adaptor m sata to zif +- 5 £, cracked W7 ultimate 32 bit does not oppose anything,4 battery use is .....well minimal ie. pretty old lap reports 5h+ battery life which is good by any means. against: I ran Crystal Disc 3.0.4 and.....ooooh it's quite rubbish ( sequensial read 81,28,write50,47,512 k R 77.46 W 46.48,4k R12.47,W12.48,4kQD32 R15.17,W18.92[ Mb /s])I think is the ZIF interface(obsolete?) Conclusion-I don't think this comp could go any faster for this money and if you not expecting Cape Canaveral experience it will do-I am glad in my own sandbox(it's really faster than linux on the original ipod HDD+ x2 space) all I need:-)

Ich habe mir die mSata SSD gekauft, da meine alte leider den Geist aufgegeben hat und ich nicht wieder eine teure kaufen wollte.Die SSD kam im angegebenen Liefertermin an und war auch ordentlich verpackt. Dabei war auch eine Hardware Installationsanleitung auf Englisch. Es wurden leider keine Befestigungsschrauben mitgeliefert, diese muss man sich dementsprechend selbst besorgen falls benötigt.Mit dem Tool CrystalDiskMark habe ich eine Schreibgeschwindigkeit von 142 MB/s erhalten und damit sogar leicht über dem angegebenen Wert von bis 105 MB/s. Ist zwar nicht wirklich hoch, aber mir ging es Hauptsächlich um schnelle Lesegeschwindigkeit und geringe Zugriffszeiten.Lesegeschwindigkeit habe ich wegen Sata2 nur einen Wert von 270 MB/s erhalten, kann deshalb leider nicht sagen ob die Platte ihren angegebenen Wert von bis 500 MB/s einhält.Insgesamt kann ich sagen, wer keine schnellen Schreibgeschwindigkeiten benötigt und trotzdem günstig ein schnelles System haben möchte kann hier ruhig zuschlagen ;)
