Kingston Technology A400 480GB 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Kingston A400 Performance and Reliability
The Kingston Technology A400 SSD is designed to significantly improve the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading, and transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a latest-generation controller for read and write speeds of up to 500 MB/s and 450 MB/s, this SSD is ten times faster than a traditional hard drive for higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking, and an overall faster system. It is built with TLC Flash memory, ensuring that data is handled efficiently while maintaining the speed necessary for modern computing tasks, whether you are using a desktop or a laptop.
Â
Durability and Build Quality
More reliable and durable than a hard drive, the A400 is built with Flash memory so there are no moving parts, making it less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It is also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a TBW rating of 160, this drive is engineered to withstand daily wear and tear. Its 7mm height ensures it fits into a wide array of systems, including thinner ultrabooks and standard laptop bays.
ÂÂ
Energy Efficiency and Thermal Specs
This drive is highly energy-efficient, consuming only 0.195W while idle and reaching a maximum of 1.535W during heavy write operations. This low power draw helps extend battery life for laptop users and reduces the overall thermal footprint of your PC. The device is rated to operate safely in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 70°C, ensuring stability even during intense workloads. By utilizing the Serial ATA III interface, it maximizes the 6 Gbit/s bandwidth to ensure that your storage does not become a bottleneck for your processor’s capabilities.
Â
Form Factor and Compatibility
The 2.5-inch form factor is the industry standard, making the A400 a versatile component for upgrading a vast range of hardware. Its lightweight 41g design adds minimal bulk to portable devices, while its rugged build quality is verified by various compliance certificates including FCC, CE, and RoHS. Whether you are looking to breathe new life into an aging laptop or seeking a reliable primary drive for a new budget PC build, the A400 offers a balanced mix of capacity, speed, and Kingston's long-standing reputation for quality in the storage industry.
