A400 SSD

Incredible speeds plus rock-solid reliability

Kingston’s A400 solid-state drive dramatically improves the
responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading and
transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a latest
gen controller for read and write speeds up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s
this SSD is 10x faster than a traditional hard drive
ultra-responsive multi-tasking and an overall faster system.

Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, A400 is built with Flash
memory. 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 which makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile
computing devices.
