Overview

A400: Incredible speeds and rock-solid reliability

Kingston' s 480GB A400 SSD dramatically improves the responsiveness of your current system with faster boot, load and transfer speeds than traditional hard drives. Powered by a next-generation controller with read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s, this SSD is ten times faster than a traditional hard drive and delivers higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking and system-wide acceleration.

More reliable and durable than a hard drive, the A400 is built using only Flash components. With no moving parts, it is less prone to failure than a conventional hard drive. It's quieter and cooler, and more resistant to vibration and shock, making it ideal for laptops and other mobile computing systems.

    Perfect for upgrading an old PC at lower cost

    I bought this SSD to replace the HDD in my old PC, which was struggling to death..... The product is reliable and performs well enough for my needs, and what's more, when the website offers a 15% discount on the range and top-notch after-sales service... I didn't think long about it!

    HDD replacement

    Fitted as a replacement for an old HDD in an old ASUS desktop, and it's a life-changer! 20 seconds boot time compared with 5 minutes previously.
