The kingston drives are pretty crap.

Save up and buy something better.

Also it's a waste of money to put just your OS on an SSD.

The point of an SSD is to speed up programs and files, not just make your computer boot a few seconds faster.

The kingston drives are still better than most of the drives that were floating around just 4-5 years ago, while they might not be as high of quality as older, higher end ssds they're often faster in certain ways.

 

I would never ever suggest anyone install an OS to a HDD when 120gb SSD's are $20-25. Your operating system is far more involved than your average program or files. Why would I store my OS which is used every second that I'm using the computer on a garbage hard drive so I can store something as worthless as my files and movies which are hardly ever accessed for up to years at a time on a SSD?

They're decent enough for the average joe. At least they're not like the off brand ones from Ali Express.

If all you're doing is putting Windows 10 on an SSD and nothing else, get this. If you want to have your SSD contain programs and games, consider the 240GB and 480GB versions of that drive instead. I'm using a boatload of those SSDs in all capacities and have never had an issue with them.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
