The Hikvision C100 SATA Internal SSD is available in two capacities—120 GB and 240 GB—to offer a flexible, affordable upgrade path for your PC or laptop. With a 2.5″ SATA III form‑factor and read speeds reaching up to ~550 MB/s, this drive delivers a meaningful enhancement in system responsiveness, boot times and everyday data access.
Whether you pick the 120 GB version for a budget‑friendly OS install or the 240 GB option for heavier file and application use, the C100 gives you the essentials of modern SSD performance without premium pricing.
Key Features
- High sequential read speeds (~550 MB/s) – speeds up system booting, application launches and large file reads.
- Write speeds tailored by capacity (≈420 MB/s for 120 GB, ≈450‑470 MB/s for 240 GB) – supports smoother installs and data transfers across variants.
- Standard 2.5″ SATA III upgrade format – compatible with most laptops and desktops, ideal for budget upgrades and system refreshes.

Performance Excellence
Both C100 variants deliver excellent performance for typical consumer workloads. The near‑maximum SATA interface read speeds (~550 MB/s) mean faster loading of the OS, applications and data. The 240 GB model’s higher write throughput and endurance equip it better for heavier use‑cases compared to the 120 GB model.
That said, because this drive uses a DRAM‑less design, extremely large sustained writes may slow once the internal cache is exhausted — something to bear in mind for advanced workloads. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
User Experience & Comfort
The C100’s 2.5″ 7 mm compact form‑factor fits easily into a wide range of laptops and desktops. Its standard SATA interface means no special board support is required, and its low idle power consumption makes it well‑suited for mobile use and energy‑aware systems.
Design & Build Quality
This budget‑oriented SSD features a reliable build without flashy extras — just solid engineering aimed at everyday computing. It lacks features like DRAM caching or encryption, but for mainstream users the simplicity translates to fewer complication points and lower cost.
Connectivity & Compatibility
- Standard SATA III 6 Gb/s data connector — backwards compatible with SATA II.
- Standard SATA power (15‑pin) interface — works with nearly all desktop and laptop systems.
Perfect For
- Serves as a system/boot drive upgrade to speed up startup and app loading.
- Refreshes older laptops or desktops with moderate space needs using the 120 GB variant.
- Supports moderate storage and heavier usage with the 240 GB variant (more apps, games, data) without breaking budget.
Why Choose This Product
The Hikvision C100 SSD series offers compelling value: you get recognized SATA‑class performance, two capacity choices to match your budget and a 3‑year warranty. If you want to breathe new life into an older system or add fast storage at low cost, this is a smart pick—just choose the capacity that matches your storage demands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I decide between the 120 GB and 240 GB versions?
A: If you primarily need the drive for your OS and a few applications, the 120 GB version is sufficient and budget‑friendly. If you store more programs, games or files, go with the 240 GB version — it offers more space, faster write speeds and more endurance.
Q: Is this SSD suitable for gaming or video editing?
A: Yes for general gaming and everyday use — both variants will load data faster than a hard drive. However, for intense sustained write workloads (e.g., large video rendering, heavy database operations), you might want an SSD with DRAM caching and higher endurance.
