Review: Great product but not Plug and Play - I've been using this chip in my Lenovo Idea Pad Yoga for a few months now with no issues. It effectively quadrupled my computers memory and gave it new life. For anyone not aware, it's important to note that this is not a Plug and Play device. The installation requires that you use an appropriate app to transfer Windows (or other operating system) along with all the data from your old memory chip. There are YouTube videos showing you how to do this quite easily for those not familiar with the procedure. With this memory boost you also have the capability to upgrade to a more current operating system if that is your goal. The Kingston KC600 has performed flawlessly in my computer since I installed it and I use my old chip for additional storage.
Review: Easiest extra 500 GB to add to my laptop - Pretty much plug an play, I just had to mount the drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but not Plug and Play
*by R***E on November 25, 2021*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easiest extra 500 GB to add to my laptop
*by C***I on November 28, 2025*

Pretty much plug an play, I just had to mount the drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 261MB/s benchmarked speed, easy install on t-420
*by K***C on June 2, 2024*

Been upgrading an old T420, this was a nice cheap drop-in that gave it plenty of storage. Be warned that there are faster and better SSD's out there (the main drive i'm using is a samsung 850, which twice as fast), but this is a great balance of cheap and fast-enough. And at any rate, it's far better than a spinning platter drive. Benchmarked at 261MB/s on Mint's built-in disk benchmark tool, on the t420 in question itself.
