About This Product
The Kingston A1000 is a 120GB SATA SSD in a 2.5-inch form factor. It offers a significant speed upgrade over traditional hard drives for basic system tasks and application loading. However, its small capacity and SATA interface mean it is slower and offers less storage than modern NVMe SSDs, making it suitable for budget-constrained builds or as a boot drive for older systems.
Verdict
“A budget-friendly option for basic system upgrades or as a dedicated boot drive.”
