Not sure who would be in the market for such a small drive but if you are this is a good price.

Considering it's sata. This is for people with older systems trying to get them into the 21st century upgrade on the cheap and these Kingston drives are great for that.

yeah, thhis seems great for upgrading an old system. Though if on windows, I can't imagine this would be an upgrade for long since even windows 10 is about to lose support.

Unraid server would run fine on this drive; add 2x 18TB refurbished drives that come up occasionally on SD and you got yourself a storage server for photos, Plex, etc

I have mine running Samsung SSD 128 GB on an I3 with no problems, just make sure the old computer has good air circulation

The old closet full of servers we used to run with machines an stock cases from the 90s surely didn't have enough room to have airflow. Hell these stock cases from HP and Dell probably don't flow any air even if not crammed into a closet.

I have a 240GB kingston that has almost 8yrs "power on hours" according to crystaldiskinfo. I've upgraded twice since I got it, but it's nice to have a little extra space kicking around.

That being said, you can get a 500gb SD card (with a really good adapter) for $30 so this is a questionable choice unless you're specifically going for the cheapest SATA drive available

Well I can say with high confidence that windows 10 will continue working just fine for the average person for the next 10 years. I know lots of people still running windows 7 with no issues lol

For what it's worth, I love these for boot drives for castoff e-waste thin clients. You can get them for roughly $15-20 and do all sorts of fun things with them.

I had to put Windows 7 down when Chrome told me that the OS was too insecure to continue providing updates for. I mean I guess it's fine if you do no banking, and nothing of value on the computer, but the lack of any security updates should be a concern, especially for non computer literate people who are most likely using systems that old.

LITERALLY THIS POST.
Marriott hotel I worked at - I was part of hardware upgrade for entire hotel.
We had to disassemble old hardware before they got recycled/shredded:
Nearly 80% of the old computers (formerly HDD) had these freaking Kingston 240GBs in them.

The ones that didn't, had a HDD and boy were they SLOW.

You believe everything that company says? The same one that tells us disabling the capability to block ads in their browser is a good thing for the consumers. Maybe windows 7 limits their ability to serve more ads.

I mean that's certainly possible. Though not as much as that computer no longer being used limits ads.

But no I don't "believe what Google says". I believe what every security researcher on the planet will tell you. Browser, OSes etc without regular security updates are insecure and rapidly become laughably so. Unfortunate, but that's the reality.
