Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 Internal SSD SA400S37/480G - HDD Replacement for Increase Performance

Great value. Easy to install and clone with proper software.

Very fast data transfer. I use it to run a few MMOS I play. Makes loading the map a smooth transition.

Definitely could use a price knockdown but whatever. it’s quality i’m happy.

I have been switching clients to SSD for a while now and decided to try out the Kingston 480GB a400. Dont waste your time, I am returning the one I purchased and buying a Samsung 860 Evo. The drive would not clone, would not allow for master boot partition to be created. Just forget about it and go buy one a little more expensive. I hate that I have wasted 2 hours trying to get this to work and just decided to send it back.

Didnt experience any of the issues other buyers had. The drive went in fast, took OS installation with no issues and is a huge improvement over the HDD the SSD replaced. For the price, this is a good drive for a glorified word processor.

This is a very good boot drive but after you put an OS (i have windows 10.1 on it) you dont have that much space left and you will either need another SSD or and HDD. If you have more money to spend then i suggest going for maybe the 256 GB variant

My old laptop is dying on me with the old RPM hard drive. I was advised to make the change, now it speedy!

Good

Great
