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.

    Fast SSD

    A very good SSD for giving a boost to an old laptop with an old HDD. Windows starts up very quickly and applications open immediately.
    If your laptop is old and slow, this is the ideal solution.

    Top as always

    I've been using Kingston ssd's for 5 years now and so far I've had no problems with them.
    They perform well and last a long time, and this one lives up to that reputation.

    I recommend this brand and this model because it's affordable and performs better than equivalents from other brands.

    In keeping with the brand's reputation.

    I have never been disappointed by Kingston products: memory sticks, sd cards.
    I trusted the brand for the ssd.

    Perfect

    High-performance, low-cost SSDs. It gives a new lease of life to old cuckoo clocks that used to take 2 minutes to switch on (then it's 15 - 20 seconds). Applications install quickly and files are copied and moved quickly. All in all, a real pleasure.
