High Performance
The Kingston SQ500S37/240G is a 240GB SSD that uses the SATA 6Gbps interface and is a part of the Kingston Q500 series. It's a TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash memory, which means it has 3 bits per cell, making it less reliable than MLC (multi-level cell) and SLC (single-level cell) but it also means it is more affordable.
In terms of performance, the SSD is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 520 MB/s. These speeds are for reading and writing large, contiguous files.
Random read and write performance (small files) is also important for a general usage, it is rated for up to 90,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second) for random read and up to 85,000 IOPS for random write.
General Compatibility and Reliability
The Kingston SQ500S37/240G is a 240GB SATA III (6 Gbps) solid-state drive (SSD) that belongs to the Q500 series.
In terms of compatibility, the SSD is designed to work with a wide range of devices that have a SATA III interface, including desktop and laptop computers, as well as some network-attached storage (NAS) devices. The drive will not work with devices that use a different interface, such as mSATA or NVMe.
The reliability of the drive is generally good, but as with all consumer electronics, there is always a small chance of failure. TLC NAND flash tend to have a lower write endurance, meaning it can endure less writes than MLC or SLC counterparts.
Kingston's drives are known for their quality and durability, and the Q500 series has been designed with features that help to protect the data stored on the drive, such as built-in error correction, advanced wear leveling, and over-provisioning, which aim to extend the life of the drive and prevent data loss.
Form Factor
The Kingston SQ500S37/240G is a 240GB solid state drive (SSD) that uses the SATA 6Gbps interface and is part of Kingston's Q500 series. It is built using TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash memory, which offers a balance of performance, endurance, and cost compared to other types of NAND flash memory.
The form factor of the SSD is the physical design and layout of the drive, in this case is a 2.5 inch form factor. This means it is the same size as a standard 2.5-inch laptop hard drive, which makes it a common form factor for SSDs and compatible with many laptops and desktops that have a 2.5-inch drive bay. It also has a thickness of 7mm and can also be used in ultra books and other devices that have limited space for storage drives.
