Good product

This is not the first time I have used this type of card to boost an old PC, the previous one having failed after several years of service (which can also happen with classic hard drives). Good product.

        Average life span: 2 years

        Compared to my "mechanical" drives (some are over 10 years old) I give two stars for the price.
        This is the second 120GB SSD that stops working without notice at around two years, the other was a Yucun, is SMART really implemented on this type of drive?
        Used mainly as boot partitions for two operating systems (one for a SLED and one for testing other systems).

        Effective

        Fast delivery.
        The disk boosts a tired PC.
        Very fast start up under Ubuntu and quick response to requests

        Disappointment

        Ordered and received in May 2021.
        Bought it to give my old bike a boost. I was delighted!
        Full O/S and program start up super fast. Worked on 100/20 sharing.
        PC plugged into UPS/lightning.
        I suffered a sudden drive shutdown.
        Faulty sectors; boot impossible; repair or full format impossible;
        Burnt out after 1 year of use.
        Even at 30 euros, this is difficult to accept.
        While I still have IDE and Sata I HDDs that are over 15 years old and still work perfectly.
        I'll forget the SSD and go back to the good old hard drive.

        A new lease of life

        Very good value for money to rejuvenate a 10 year old office laptop, no problems with assembly.
        The start-up has never been so fast and all programs are more responsive.

        Very fast

        It really makes a difference...on an old PC, Windows 10 spends 100% of its time on the hard drive, on an SSD, it gives a real boost

        A little scam

        So kingston practiced a real shame (not ldlc's fault) by changing the build models after sending them for testing to the influencer.moral of the story the disc is barely better than a hdd and deteriorates at a very high rate take anything else any other brand.

        I've been using it for a month with no particular problems to report, just copying which has been complicated due to limited storage well thought of buying an extra sata.

        Worked well but not for long!

        This SSD drive purchased in June 2017 gave a second life to an ageing desktop pc. I was then delighted. Unfortunately, this boon was relatively short-lived as it has just given up the ghost, less than 3 years after its installation despite a far from intensive use. Sniff...

        Compact and efficient

        Ordered as a replacement for a SATA hard drive, this SSD completely refurbished a rather old PC (Core2Duo) for office use. Installed with a Windows 10 OS, the machine was totally unusable. Now, with its 4GB of RAM + this SSD, it is fully operational and as a bonus it lasts longer on battery.

        Does not work / delivery to a place other than home

        The product doesn't work (the disk is set to half full and is not recognised. Never had this problem with this brand, bad luck I guess. The delivery man, who is a subcontractor I was told, delivers to the nearest point of sale instead of the home. The shopkeeper who is fed up tells me to stop being a relay point.

        Given the price, I did not spend my time sending the item back.

        This does not affect my confidence in LDLC of course ;D

        Kind regards, Phil

        To be seen in the long term.

        Very good choice

        Boy, was that old Acer from 2011 slow. With a little extra RAM lying around and that SSD, it's back in my classroom for a few more years of loyal service.

        Installed and recognized right away. Lubuntu now runs like a charm! I recommend it.

        No surprises

        Small SSD to host my OS (Windows 10) for my small home NAS.
        Not much to say, more than enough for my NAS needs. Quiet and low power consumption.
        Perfect for its end use.

        Does its job well, especially for this price!

        I was looking for a very small SSD (20-30 GB) just to install Linux while keeping a bit of space for development and still decent performance. When I saw that for the price I was going to put on it I had 120 GB, I told myself that I wasn't taking a big risk (there won't be any sensitive data). I've already seen kingston crash several years ago, I guess it has stabilized since then and I'll see. So far no worries and all went well without doing anything.

        Instant start

        I bought this ssd in order to replace the Hdd in a friend's laptop.

        the pluses :
        + I have been using it for a long time and it is very easy to use.
        + I've been using it for a while now.
        + I've been using it for a while now and it's a good idea to check it out.
        + The price, now it is a nonsense to have a non SSD system disk.

        The minuses :
        - The 120GB fills up quickly so plan on an external drive or a cloud solution for the data.
        - The reliability, we have no hindsight on the endurance of these SSDs at low prices, nevertheless if they last even 5 years the investment is largely worth it.

        Second a400 ordered and nothing to report great SSD, I have had its big brother the V300 for nearly 5 years and it is in great shape, Kingston SSDs are a great value.

        For the delivery the top, ordered Friday around 11am and received Monday noon Colissimo :)

        I bought this SSD to replace an old HDD and the difference is clear... before I had to turn on my PC for 5 minutes before playing now it starts in less than 3 seconds or even instantly. I will recommend this SSD and I highly recommend it.

        I've been using it for a while now and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it or not.

        Everything is summarized in the title. I bought this SSD to replace a previous SSD of the same brand but with less capacity. I have to say that I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price. I've been using this drive for a while now and I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.

        I bought this drive to replace an old "classic" hard drive on a 10 year old machine. In addition to the change of drive, a change of OS was made, from XP to Mint 18.3, it is perfect for those who don't need a lot of capacity, but want the modernity and speed of an SSD.

        perfect and cheap

        I ordered two of these for some old PCs I had lying around, and they do the job perfectly, the joys of fast booting :D

        They are not at the level of SSDs 3 times more expensive in terms of speed but are still perfectly viable for their price.

        Well

        An SSD drive that brought an old PC back to life, I didn't put it in, someone else did. I didn't hear him grumbling so it must have been good. I'll have to see how long it lasts now. It is true that this technology is much faster.

        Nickel

        The SSD is cheap but powerful, it's a pity that the screws are not included. Very smooth under Windows 10 and low power consumption. Running in a Dell Latitude D630, I gained a bit of battery life and safety for my documents.

        good entry-level SSD

        I already own the UV500 version and I needed a cheap SSD in a hurry, this KINGSTON A400 120GB SSD is perfect for the job

        I've been a customer of LDLC for over 15 years and I've been surprised to receive my SSD in an envelope for 6€ postage, fortunately it's not a +100€ SSD and the same goes for the anniversary code which only gives me 5%, it's less than the Monday offer or MAGINEA's deco subsidiary which offered me 15%, being a customer for over 15 years we can see that everyone is pulling on the rope, it's a shame

        otherwise fast delivery in 2 days

        I was not expecting this at this price and well, yes, it does what you would expect from an SSD and does its job perfectly. I was already trusting this brand for my USB flash drives and no disappointments.
        I'm sure you can buy it without any worries!

        An efficient SSD

        This is my 3rd Kingston SSD and I'm still not disappointed, it does exactly what you want it to do and the speed is always top notch

        I'm not sure if it's the same as a hard drive, but I'm sure it's a lot slower than a hard drive.

        Kingston at its best!

        I bought the SSD for the price and I'm not disappointed. Very fast, I didn't spend my time running benchmarks but for the price, buy without hesitation.

        CLEAR

        Product received and performance as expected.
        Installed in a refurbished machine, it does the job well.
        The system is fast and no worries!
        As said in the other reviews, it is perfect for installing an OS and demanding applications with a good old hard drive as a back up for all the data that doesn't require a fast drive.

        Perfect in combination with a HDD

        Simple, efficient, immediately recognized by an Asus motherboard. The same goes for the installation of an Ubuntu system, it's turnkey.

        It is small in GB, but I prefer to do it that way. It is associated with WD blue on which I prefer to store photos, music and films.

        Youthfulness

        Under this title, you might think we're talking about cougars, but we're not.

        This Ssd brings a breath of fresh air to a configuration dating from 2011.
        Despite a recognition problem after a 1st cloning (the ssd did not boot windows). I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to check it out and see if it's working properly.
        The product is well packaged and sent quickly (-3 days) while it was in order 7/15 days on the site Ldlc, the Top!

        Cool!!!!

        The delivery was a bit long or late, normal for a classic pack. The package was well received, clean and works very well. I've been using it on a 2nd tower for my grandson and it does its job perfectly. The installation with this ssd made the pc faster than its shadow xd. I would recommend it!

        Thanks LDLC!!!
