Overview

A400: Incredible speeds and rock-solid reliability

Kingston' s 120GB 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 320MB/s, this SSD is ten times faster than a traditional hard drive and delivers higher performance, ultra-responsive multitasking 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.

    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).

    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.
