Review on Kingspec 16GB KSD-SA25.7 2.5-Inch SATA III πŸ’Ύ Dual Channel Internal SSD Solid State Disk Drive by Julio Montano

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great for ESXi, good for storage

I bought this for an ESXi (5.1) home server, I was running ESXi from a normally spinning disk, but the disk started to fail. Knowing that ESXi runs mostly in memory, I then booted ESXi from a USB flash drive, but the boot time was slow, I also encountered multiple PSODs even after doing the recommended "Flash Drive Settings". would have. So I was looking for a small capacity SATA SSD, and the KINGSPEC KSD-SA25.7 2.5" SATA-β…’ 2 CHANE SSD (16GB) is spot on, ESXi recommends >8GB. So ESXi loaded on it. and it works great never had a problem it boots a lot faster than a usb stick and faster than a spinning disk but the old disk was 5 years old for a ssd the performance is poor but if you have special claims like mean it fits perfectly and is worth every penny.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
