Kingston's A400 solid-state drives dramatically improve the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, load and transfer speeds compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by the latest controller to achieve read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s*, this SSD is ten times faster than a conventional hard drive**, allowing it to offer higher performance, boost multitasking and speed up system operation.

In addition to being more reliable and durable than a hard drive, the A400 incorporates Flash memory. It has no moving parts, so the chances of failure are lower than with a mechanical drive. Furthermore, the absence of these parts allows for quieter operation without heat build-up. Its resistance to shocks and vibrations makes them ideal for laptops and other mobile computing devices.

A400 drives are available in multiple sizes and capacities, from 120GB to 1.92TB**, to give you all the space you need for applications, videos, photos and other important files. In addition, you can replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with a drive large enough to hold all your files.

This SSD has been designed for typical laptop and desktop workloads. It is not intended for server environments.

* Based on "out-of-the-box" performance with a SATA Rev. 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to hardware, software and host system usage characteristics.

**Some of the capacities specified in a Flash storage device are used for formatting and other functions; therefore, they are not available for data storage. For this reason, the actual data storage capacity is less than that indicated on the products.
