Ordered by part number
SKC600/256G is what is quoted and SKC600/256G is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.

Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is SKC600/256G genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Kingston packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will SKC600/256G work in my server?
- Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list — mechanical fit is the easy part.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
