The Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB has the same 600 TBW warranty. This is worth considering if you plan to use this for any high-write scenario such as servers or SSD cache and will be a major factor in the competitive pricing from Crucial. In comparison, similarily specced MX500 only offers 360 TBW.

This offers 600TB total bytes written, with 1 million hours MTBF and a 5-year warranty. Samsung appears to offer the 860 Evo in mSATA, but I can't find stock anywhere. This is one of the only big brand names doing this style of drive. The KC600 also comes in mSATA format that has the shorter 50mm length vs 80mm of M.2 drives. As always, with Amazon, pricing is all over the place. Switching between capacities has the Kingston the cheapest at 256GB and cheaper than the Samsung at 2TB. The Crucial MX500 1 TB is currently a touch under £100 on Amazon. The Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB is currently £108.50 on Amazon. There is the more basic Kingston A400 SSD that lacks hardware encryption, has slightly lower performance and a shorter warranty. You can also get this in as mSata format, ideal for laptops or a more discrete desktop installation, the 1TB model, is just £102.90. The 1TB Kingston KC600 is available on Amazon and currently costs £112.61 on Amazon but has been as low as £101 recently. Kingston A400 SSD Internal Solid State Drive 2.5" SATA Rev. Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State. I think that the newer models I list below have fixed this issue, but I can't be certain. It is worth noting that even though both Samsung and Crucial were found to have security vulnerabilities on the EVO and MX line, this was for the older models up to MX300 and Samsung 850 Evo.

Kingston has a dedicated page explaining how SSD encryption works and software vs hardware encryption. I was concerned this would also apply to the Kingston, however, they have confirmed that the onboard AES encryption chip suffers from no such problems.

Samsung T3 and T5 portable (external) disks.Crucial (Micron) MX100, MX200, MX300 internal hard disks.The researchers tested and confirmed that the following SSDs were affected: These vulnerabilities affect “ATA security” and “TCG Opal,” two specifications for the implementation of hardware-based encryption on SEDs. Whilst testing the hardware encryption via Bitlocker, it came to my attention that Microsoft issued a security advisory for certain SSD self-encrypting drives (SEDs).īack in 2018, researchers from Radboud University identified vulnerabilities that made it possible to bypass the encryption. This works well, during my testing, the drive offers almost identical read speeds and a negligible drop of around 20MB/s for write speeds. The Kingston KC600 includes AES 256-bit hardware encryption which allows you to use the built-in Bitlocker functionality of Windows to encrypt your drive with little to no drop in performance. Obviously, not as good as NVMe, but SSD drives make excellent data drives if you have limited storage on your NVMe. Real-life usage is as expected, performance is superb. It is small enough you would never notice, but better still.ĪTTO Disk Benchmark reveals similar results, and the read IO/s exceeds the specification. Testing against my Crucial MX500 1TB SSD, the Kingston KC600 offers fractionally better performance in every test. The overall performance of the drive is good with the main limitation being the SATA interface bottlenecking its performance. With BitLocker using hardware-based encryption.It is then also possible to check the current drive encryption state. You can also check the drive health, such as SSD wear and any failures.

It is worth installing just to update the firmware, which takes a few seconds. Kingston has a handy management utility for its drives.

It offers affordable, fast storage with the added benefit of hardware AES encryption which allows you to enable BitLocker on your PC with little consequence on overall performance. The Kingston KC600 has been out for a couple of years now.
