Kingston's SSDNow S50 is ideal for increasing the performance of non-PC applications, from gaming and casinos to tollbooths and digital signage.

More reliable and durable than a hard drive, solid-state drives are also faster, quieter and consume less power.

Do not buy any Kingston SSD.
By L. B. Glass
During the past year, I have built several small routers with Kingston 16GB and 32GB SSDs of this and similar models. The drives get little use (how much reading and writing does a router do?) and are mainly used for bootstrapping and occasional logging. We thought that these routers would be more reliable than ones with rotating mechanical hard drives, but every single one of the Kingston SSDs we've bought has quit within a year of being placed into service. Every one. And when they did, they took the systems down, losing data and causing customer complaints.Kingston has admitted to some of the problems, in particular a bug which caused some SSDs to crash and die after a little more than 4 months of continuous operation. But did they do a recall or notify users who were about to lose their data? No; they did not.Do not buy Kingston SSDs.

Working Great
By J. Worthen
Bought this harddrive for an HTPC, and so far it is working great. I wish it was 32GB as a Windows 7 install is about 13GB (with hibernation stuff disabled). If you are planning to run linux, this should be plenty of space. Not much to work with but meWOW it is fast.

Died in low-use environment, in just ~12 months.
By Scott Carmichael
Terrible product due to the fact it died in a very low-use environment, after just 12 months.Took me several Ubuntu 12.04 - 13.04 re-install attempts to verify my suspicion that the drive was dead.No excuse for such a product. A HDD should last YEARS at the very least, especially one with NO MOVING PARTS.
