Review on Kingston A400 240GB SATA SA400S37/240G solid state drive by Angelarii Angelov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect product for any user!

It was just a coincidence, but I ended up switching from a 120GB A-Data SP580 to the Kingston that was detailed earlier. I put the operating system on that disk. Because everything worked so quickly, and because it is functional, I did not detect any differences at all. In addition to that, I disabled indexing and activated AHCI mode by hand in both the operating system and the BIOS settings. If this step is skipped, the read/write speed will be approximately two times slower than normal. Got pros: - price a warranty for three years - the speed of the disk - the weight - the absence of anxiety over shakes caused by accident (unlike HDD) - the inclusion of error correcting mechanisms such as SmartECC and LDPC ECC - A warranty of thirty-six months - the greatest quantity of data that may be recorded is 80 terabytes - complete compatibility with SATAII from the previous version - According to my tests, the actual write speed is approximately 27% faster than what the manufacturer advertises it to be. All data for measurements are being collected in AHCI mode. Its cons: - TLC NAND cells, not 3D (this is what causes the pricing difference). - According to my measurements, the reading speed is around 11 percent less than what is advertised by the manufacturer. The AHCI mode is being used for all of the data being measured.
