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 for higher performance, 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’s also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it
ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

A400 is available in multiple capacities from 120GB–480GB to give you all the
space you need for applications, videos, photos and other important documents.
You can also replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with a drive big enough
to hold all your  les.
