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

Good so far

Good price and worked well. Nothing to complain

Just an FYI: The product shows an instructional video for Acronis True Image Free to clone your disk, but that doesnt appear to work anymore. I am using the 30-day trial of Macrium Reflect to clone my disk, Ive use it in the past successfully. It requires that you understand how to re-partition your disk, so you may run into a challenge unless you are familiar with disk structure.

Did what its supposed to do

I installed this in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro to replace its original Hitachi hard drive, hoping it would help with some memory corruption scares and start-up issues, as well as a precautionary measure to keep my computer from failing me as I go back to college. My ex-husband had bought these for a few hundred computers at his office and recommended this to me. He was familiar with the process of copying all of my files and data from my old hard drive to this SSD so that process was very easy and simple for us. Even he was surprised by how much of a difference this SSD has made in my computers performance. It starts up easier and quicker than ever, especially from sleep (when I used to have memory scares if the battery ran low - not anymore!!) and every program opens faster than ever now. Im also a casual gamer (Sims, Stardew Valley, and Dont Starve Together) and its made gaming so much easier! All in all, I couldnt be happier with this product and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone looking at buying an SSD. Seriously, buy it!

It was what I ordered

Works great so far. Just installed yesterday to replace the HDD in my laptop. Windows installed smoothly and easily. A great improvement in boot speed and opening programs.

Works well

I use this not as an internal drive, but as an external SSD put inside a Sabrient 2.5 SATA to USB 3.0 enclosure that comes with a long USB cord. It costs about $12. I use it with my Chromebox. So I spent $28 for this Kingston 120GB and Sabrient enclosure combined. Why buy an external SSD when I can go this route thats cheaper? BTW, I use this Kingston to keep financial files, not videos or music. I also have a Sabrient 4 USB port with 4 on/off switches because I dont need it to run 24/7. I know this Kingston for my purposes it will last.

I bought this to replace it with an old laptops hard drive and it worked great.
