Description
Kingston SKC600/256G 256GB SATA 2.5" SSD
The SKC600/256G is Kingston's KC600 at 256GB, a 2.5-inch SATA drive built on 3D NAND with triple-level cell flash. It handles XTS-AES 256-bit encryption on the drive itself. At this capacity, you're buying the security rather than the space, which suits a machine holding sensitive records instead of a media library. Kingston lists it as swappable, so it comes out of a bay as easily as it goes in.
Key Features
- 256GB of capacity in a 2.5-inch internal drive
- XTS-AES 256-bit encryption carried out on the drive
- 3D NAND built with triple-level cell flash, three bits per memory cell
- SATA interface in the standard 2.5-inch body
- Kingston KC600 series, part number SKC600/256G
- RoHS and WEEE compliant, and listed as swappable
Performance and Applications
Some workplaces take the drive out at the end of the day. A clinic, a legal practice, a site holding client records on a machine other people can reach. The drive goes into a safe overnight and back into the bay the next morning, which keeps the records locked up while the computer stays on the desk. Encryption covers the gap if one ever goes astray between those two points. 256GB holds a great many records when they're documents rather than video.
Compatibility and Installation
You'll need a SATA port and a 2.5-inch mounting point, or a removable drive bay if the plan involves taking it out regularly. Desktop cages built around 3.5-inch drives need a bracket. Set the encryption up before any records go on, and keep the key somewhere well away from the machine itself.
Kingston SKC600/256G 256GB SSD for Drives That Get Locked Away
For a workstation where the storage doesn't stay in the building overnight, this one fits the routine. 256GB of encrypted 3D NAND in a 2.5-inch body that lifts straight out of the bay.
