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

I bought a couple of these for my old laptops with mechanical HD. So far, after a couple of months, I havent had any issue with either of them.

I will say that the drive works flawlessly. Initially however I had a hard time getting bios to recognize the drive. I started and stopped the computer so many times checking interior connections that I damaged one of my memory sticks and corrupted some file that prevented OS (win10) from starting. I eventually had to reinstall the OS. I then found out that with Kingston you have to go into settings and computer management and format the drive before it will be recognized by the bios. Now this is what I had to to do with MY PC.

Install was easy to Lenovo IdeaPad 110s. Gave it a new life.

2 year old Lenovo is much faster now. When booting, hard drive used to be stuck at 100% now it does not go above 10% use. Had to use Microsoft usb media creator from web site to install win10 from scratch.

Easy to install and really made signifcant difference for my 3 years laptop after replacing old hard drive

Got a good deal on this to use as a small steam drive. I also bought a Kingdian 240gb ssd and its about 15% faster over this Kingston which was surprising since the kingdian was a goodbit cheaper.

Thanks

Me gustó... la verdad que me sirvió para lo que quería y era para que mi pc esté rápida. Estoy feliz :)

For the brand and price, you wouldnt guess it, but this is way past my acceptable level for a quick and affordable upgrade from the spinning disk. If youre out to benchmark these things against more performance products Samsung EVO or Crucial MX500, Id guess you might see some differences, but I had no speed or stability issues with these drives in a general day-to-day usage in the old unibody MacBook Pro.
