*Note: Speed is dependent on host device, interface, usage conditions, and the type of your device. The above data is derived from Kodak test results and may vary due to different test environments and platforms. It is for reference only.
**About Usable Capacity:** Vendors calculate capacity using decimal arithmetic (1MB = 1000KB, 1GB = 1000MB), while operating systems use binary arithmetic (1MB = 1024KB, 1GB = 1024MB). This difference results in a slightly lower displayed capacity than the nominal capacity on your operating system. For exampLI:
- 128GB: Approximately 119 GB usable
- 256GB: Approximately 238 GB usable
- 512GB: Approximately 476 GB usable
- 1TB: Approximately 930 GB usable
3. Guia d'instal·lació
3.1 Abans de començar
- Ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the power source.
- Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) by touching a metal object or using an anti-static wrist strap.
- Gather necessary tools: Phillips-head screwdriver, SATA data cable (if not replacing an existing drive), SATA power cable (usually from PSU).
- Back up any important data from your old drive if you are replacing it.
3.2 Instal·lació d'escriptori
- Obriu la carcassa de l'ordinador. Consulteu el manual de l'ordinador per obtenir instruccions específiques.
- Localitza una badia d'unitat de 2.5 polzades disponible. Si la teva caixa només té badies de 3.5 polzades, és possible que necessitis un adaptador de 2.5 polzades a 3.5 polzades (no inclòs).
- Mount the KODAK X120 Pro SSD into the drive bay using screws.
- Connecteu un extrem del cable de dades SATA a l'SSD i l'altre extrem a un port SATA disponible de la placa base.
- Connect a SATA power cable from your power supply unit (PSU) to the SSD.
- Tanqueu la carcassa de l'ordinador i torneu a connectar tots els cables.

3.3 Laptop Installation
- Open your laptop's drive bay. This usually involves removing a panel on the bottom of the laptop or the entire bottom cover. Refer to your laptop's manual for specific instructions.
- Remove the old hard drive (if applicable) by unscrewing it from its bracket or sliding it out.
- Attach the KODAK X120 Pro SSD to the drive bracket (if one was used for the old drive).
- Slide the SSD into the drive bay and secure it with screws.
- Close the laptop's drive bay cover and reconnect all cables.

4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1 Initializing and Formatting the SSD (New Installation)
If you are installing the SSD as a new drive, it will need to be initialized and formatted before use. If you are migrating your operating system, this step may not be necessary.
- Engega l'ordinador.
- Open Disk Management (Windows: Right-click Start -> Disk Management; macOS: Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility).
- Locate your new KODAK X120 Pro SSD. It will likely appear as "Unallocated Space."
- Right-click on the unallocated space and select "Initialize Disk." Choose GPT (GUID Partition Table) for modern systems or MBR (Master Boot Record) for older systems (Windows 7 or older, or if you have specific compatibility needs).
- After initialization, right-click the unallocated space again and select "New Simple Volume" (Windows) or "Erase" (macOS).
- Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new partition, assign a drive letter, and format the drive (NTFS for Windows, APFS/Mac OS Extended for macOS).
4.2 Operating System Migration (Optional)
To transfer your existing operating system and data to the new SSD, you will need disk cloning software. Many free and paid options are available online. Follow the instructions provided with your chosen cloning software.
4.3 Emmagatzematge i transferència de dades
Once installed and formatted, your KODAK X120 Pro SSD functions like any other storage drive. You can save files, install applications, and transfer data to and from it. Its high read/write speeds will significantly reduce loading times for games and applications, and improve overall system responsiveness.

5. Manteniment i cura
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KODAK X120 Pro SSD, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Activa TRIM: Assegureu-vos que TRIM estigui habilitat al vostre sistema operatiu. TRIM ajuda l'SSD a gestionar el seu espai d'emmagatzematge de manera eficient, evitant la degradació del rendiment amb el temps. La majoria de sistemes operatius moderns activen TRIM per defecte per als SSD.
- Evitar la desfragmentació: Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs do not benefit from defragmentation. In fact, defragmenting an SSD can reduce its lifespan by causing unnecessary write cycles. Disable any automatic defragmentation for your SSD.
- Monitor S.M.A.R.T. Data: Use disk utility software to periodically check the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) status of your SSD. This can provide early warnings of potential drive issues.
- Mantenir l'espai lliure: Avoid filling your SSD to its maximum capacity. Keeping some free space (e.g., 10-15%) allows the SSD's wear-leveling algorithms to function effectively and maintain performance.
- Còpies de seguretat periòdiques: While SSDs are generally reliable, no storage device is immune to failure. Regularly back up your important data to another drive or cloud storage.
- Mantenir el firmware actualitzat: Check the Kodak website for any available firmware updates for your SSD model. Firmware updates can improve performance, stability, and compatibility.
6. Solució De Problemes
SSD 6.1 no detectat
- Comproveu les connexions: Ensure both the SATA data and power cables are securely connected to the SSD and the motherboard/PSU.
- Configuració de la BIOS/UEFI: Enter your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings and verify that the SATA port the SSD is connected to is enabled. Also, check if the SATA mode is set to AHCI (recommended for SSDs).
- Prova un altre port/cable: Test the SSD with a different SATA port on your motherboard and/or different SATA cables to rule out faulty components.
- Disk Management (Windows): If detected by BIOS but not in Windows Explorer, check Disk Management. The drive might need to be initialized and formatted (see Section 4.1).
6.2 Rendiment lent
- SATA III Connection: Ensure the SSD is connected to a SATA III (6Gb/s) port on your motherboard for maximum speed. Connecting to a SATA II port will limit performance.
- TRIM habilitat: Verify that TRIM is enabled in your operating system (see Section 5).
- Actualització del firmware: Check for and install any available firmware updates for your SSD.
- Over-filling: If the SSD is nearly full, performance can degrade. Free up some space.
- Problemes del controlador: Assegureu-vos que els controladors SATA de la placa base estiguin actualitzats.
6.3 Operating System Fails to Boot
- Ordre d'arrencada: Check your BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the SSD is set as the primary boot device.
- OS Migration Issues: If you migrated your OS, ensure the cloning process was successful and the boot partition is correctly configured. You may need to repair the bootloader using your OS installation media.
7. Consells d'usuari
- For optimal performance, install your operating system and frequently used applications on the SSD.
- Consider using a larger traditional hard drive (HDD) for bulk storage of less frequently accessed files, photos, and videos to maximize SSD lifespan and performance.
- Regularly check for system updates and SSD firmware updates to ensure compatibility and performance improvements.
- If you're upgrading from an HDD, you'll notice a significant speed boost in boot times and application loading.
