How much faster is an SSD
This is a difficult question to answeras no two systems are exactly the same and performance can be affected by the OS
any drivers loadedapplications in usethe speed and configuration of the processor and many other factors. There are
several test web sites and magazines that have tested SSDs against HDDs and found SSDs to be much faster. For exampleif
we compared random read performanceSSDs are more than 20000% faster than high-performance HDDs.
It is worth noting that SSD drives are not affected by the physical limitations of hard drives. HDD platters are circular in design
(like a CD) and data held at the centre of the circle is accessed at a slower rate than data on the edges. SSDs have a uniform
access time across the entire drive. HDD performance also suffers from data fragmentationwhereas SSDs performance is
not significantly impacted even if the data is not stored contiguously.
Are there any trade-offs when choosing an SSD over an HDD
The only factor in favour of HDDs is the price per gigabyte; this is why HDDs are currently sold in capacities of 500GB and abovewhile SSDs are sold in
capacities of 30GB and above. Kingston currently offers SSDs from 30GB to 960GB.
Traditional HDDs are best if mass storage is in the terabytes is your primary needwhile SSDs are excellent if performance is more important. It's common to use
an SSD as a boot drive to hold OS and applications and an HDD to hold data files.
Support which operating system (OS)
Kingston solid-state drives are OS-independent and will run on any system supporting a standard SATA interface.

Does an SSD never need to be defragmenting like an HDD
No. SSDs never need to be defragmented. Defragmenting an SSD can actually reduce the life of an SSD. If your system is set up to defragment automaticallyyou
should disable or turn off defragmentation when using an SSD. Some operating systems will defragment automaticallyso this feature should be disabled for
Kingston solid-state drives.

About REAL Capacity
8GB = approximately 7.4GB-7.6GB
16GB = approximately 14GB-15GB
32GB = approximately 28GB-30GB
64GB = approximately 58GB-60GB
128GB = approximately 119GB-120GB
This is calculation difference between manufacturer and your PCplease Google 'Memory card capacity' to get more information.
For your reference
Your PC says 1GB = 1.073741824 Billion bytes where Market Defines 1 GB = 1.00 Billion bytes.
