Good budget drive for updating laptops.
I’ve had this drive for years now and it’s still works like it did when I got it. It has some wear and tear based on the Kingston software tool that you can download for it, but for the low cost you can’t go wrong. Last time I checked the number it was still in the mid 90% “good” range since the laptop doesn’t get used everyday.Granted it isn’t as durable as the Samsung SATA disk counterpart in my main computer and won’t come close to the even faster PCI-e SSD’s used for the boot and games drives. I didn’t buy it for that though, it was used to upgrade my HP 8770W laptop computer’s original HDD. I am very happy with the 250GB version, very affordable price as well for what little I use it.The read/write speeds for this disk top out at around 550MB/s on SSD to SSD transfers which is the max speed of the SATA interface and pretty much the same for all SATA type solid state drives. I tired that out directly using the 2nd drive bay in the laptop to connect my other Samsung 870 EVO alongside the Kingston. The Kingston was setup as the main disk of course, and the Samsung was removed after testing it out that way. You’ll see a noticeable improvement in loading time for everything when updating from the now almost obsolete platter disk drives.I would buy this again, and may again some day whenever the one I have now fails. It should last for years really since the laptop this drive is in is seldom used these days. Recently one of my great nieces has began using it for random computer gaming so it will wear out at some point I suppose. It seems very durable so far though.It was very easy to install, only required a small + type screw driver and then installing a fresh copy of Windows 11 on the drive. It was a very fast Windows install, finishing the install process in less than 10 minutes. If you are just using it as a second disk and not installing an OS on it then you may have to initialize the disk before the operating system can see it for formatting.Some people may use other methods to preserve their original disk data like disk cloning or raid setups. There wasn’t much of anything of value on the original disk so installing from nothing was not a problem. Of course I have all the drivers and such for the older laptop backed up on a flash drive, and an additional hard drive in case HP drops the model from their support pages.I guess that sums it then, hope the review helps other people choose the SSD that fits their needs.

Fast and easy install
Replaced old laptop hard-drive with this. Easy to do and very fast. Kinda wished I bought the larger one, but it was an old laptop and this one already doubled the capacity.

One of the best SSD brands!
I replaced my 8 years old Samsung PRO to 480G Kingston SSD. Nothing wrong in $amsung but it is closed to the life of SSD. This should be my 4th replacement into 4 different PCs to Kingston in the same reason (I used Sandxxx – not that recommend), this is a solid SSD, very stable speed in surface scan and no bad sector, run faster than my old Sam SSD. Highly recommended.

Had some hesitation initially buying this Kingston A400 480 GB SSD ( 2.5 Inch ). Finally it arrived next day and used in a USB 3 Enclosure. Performs fast at consistent speed of around 105 MBs for large file transfers. Considering the price, this a great performance. The casing is metallic finish and feels good. Will recomend this for people loking for performance at affordable price. There will be more faster drives, but few seconds will not make that great difference. TIP: In USB Enclosure, right click properties – Policies -and enable Disk Caching to improve data transfer. It makes a very big difference. Just remember to click to Safely Remove drive option if this is enabled.
