THE SSDNOW KC300 240GB

Design-wise the KC300 240GB is much like every other Kingston SSD we've tested to date so once again we see a large sticker at the top of a gray aluminum housing.

Typically the sticker at the top contains information such as the capacity of the drive, serial number, barcode, electrical requirements, origin of manufacture, several certification logos and the model number.

Nothing interesting at the rear just the same gray color as the front.

We see no pins right next the SATA power and data connectors which means easier/faster FW updates.

It seems that more and more SSD manufacturers use blue PCBs (not that it really matters).

The SSDnow KC300 240GB features a total of sixteen 16GB NAND flash modules by Toshiba (8 on each side of the PCB) and of course the Sandforce SF-2281 controller.
