Compatibility and related parts

Before ordering, check that your system has a free SATA port and a 2.5 inch bay or mounting point; desktops also need a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the power supply. You can confirm free SATA ports on the spec sheet of your board among our motherboards. If your board has an M.2 slot and you want higher speeds, compare with our NVMe SSDs, or see the full range of Kingston products. Building a new system?
