    Everything comes with an expiry date and there’s an end to everything. The same works for the world of technology. While one gadget might seem the finest at that moment and be considered unsurpassable, there’ll come a phase when it’ll be of absolutely no use. When it comes to storage devices we’ve traversed a long, long way,from somewhere to somewhere else. From floppy discs to CD drives to pen drives, hard drives etc.  Amongst the latter two the hard drive is of the largest capacity but then for how long?

    Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the soleleader in the world  for storage devices, on April 14th 2015 launched the 960 GB KC310 SSD, the firm’s biggest business-class SSD venture. This freshly launched gadget enables users to store more data and applications and thus is an appropriate HDD replacement.

    For entry-level servers and datacenter hosting companies vying for more storage, KC310 is the deal to go with. Controlled by a Phison S10 quad-core, eight-channel controller, the drive grants unsurpassed SATA Rev. 3.0 (6Gb/s) performance delivering high read/write speeds and IOPS.The KC310 SSD is an input range for servers and data storage organizations looking more capacity without compromising on the performance. The drive delivers end-to-end data protection through Advanced SmartECC and Flash error code correction. Data can be rebuilt in the event ofoccurrence of an error allowing for extended NAND durability and reliability. Data integrity is maintained through the addition of firmware-based power loss protection as data is constantly moved to NAND to minimize the amount of time it stays in the cache.

    Solid-state drives are the next stepping stones of PC storage and move in a more silent manner, swifter and cooler than the aging technology within hard drives. The new Kingston SSD is also more long lasting and more reliable than hard drives since it has no moving parts. This newly shipped solid state drive will not only breathe new life into older systems but also lead to increased performances. Choosing an SSD can save you from buying a new PC by restoring the system you already own.

    Kingston Technology Company, the world’s biggest independent manufacturer of memory products proudly added this drive to its line of business SSDs, for users looking for or needing nearly 1TB in storage.

    In addition to the KC310, for corporate customers with the requirement of client management software to manage and set security policies for its SSDs,there’s the KC300 series offered by Kingston. KC300 SSDs support TCG Opal version 2.0, IEEE 1667 and Microsoft eDrive, and also feature advanced power management and enterprise-grade S.M.A.R.T. attributes. KC300 SSDs make use of the award-winning SandForce® SF2281 Flash controller and range in storage capacity from 60GB to 480GB.KC310.

    Listed below are some of the features of the KC310 SSD drive-
