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.

Give your system a facelift

The A400 SSD is available in a variety of capacities starting at 120GB. So you'll have plenty of space for your files, applications, videos, photos and other documents. You can also replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with one large enough to hold all your files.

This SSD is designed for use with desktop and laptop PCs, not in server environments.

    Runs like clockwork

    I've only had it for a month, but it has really boosted my PC (OS previously installed on a conventional hard drive).

    Very well

    It enabled an old laptop (~9 years old) to become usable.
    I am very pleased with it so far; the write and read speeds are as expected.
    The connection was super fast and I was able to transfer the old data from the hard drive to this SSD from a LiveCD, then reboot on the SSD. All with Linux, of course.
    In short, a good product (but I'm not surprised with Kingston).
