Review on Kingston A400 480GB SATA SSD SA400S37/480G by Michal Michal ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Total disappointment, the product is terrible.

With: RUSupport Hello! Just acquired an SSD SA400S37/480G. Used for operating systems. The disk "freezes" for 5-20 seconds every few minutes or so, during which time the PC is unusable and the disk access indicator lights up. Our letter "went into spam," but after three days of waiting, a representative finally called and pushed through. The RUSupport Team Greetings, afternoon! Please use CystalDiskInfo to send SMART data and ATTOBenchmark to send speed test results (screenshots will suffice). If you're using Kingston's SSD Manager, you can export the data there. The RUSupport Team Hello! The outcomes of our tests are included in the attachment. Written by RUSupport Hello, How well did this drive perform in the server? Quantity remaining before warranty coverage ends 1% Replace the drive by having it done by a dealer. This SSD series is not suitable for usage in a server. The RUSupport Team Hello! We just got this drive approximately two weeks ago, and it hasn't even been installed in the server yet! Please provide a technical assessment to support a request for a new disk from the vendor. To: RU Support@kingston.com From: RUSupport Greetings, afternoon! Disc images with good resolution of both sides are requested. The RUSupport Team Good afternoon, we have already sent the photo, we began with this, and we are on our second go-around. How well did this drive perform in the server? Quantity remaining before warranty coverage ends 1% Replace the drive by having it done by a dealer. Have you checked out the information we forwarded? It's been operating for 359 hours, and I can tell that the drive is perfectly well. Let's figure out what's going on and not ask for a photo CD the second time around. The Kingston chatbot went silent after that. We have contacted the seller and want to return the item. The purchase was made 3 weeks ago.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Once a minute or two, the disk access lamp lights up and the system hangs for 10-20 seconds. Those. Kingston customer service has said that updated firmware should resolve this issue. The SSD manager application they use claims there are no updates available. We discovered, indirectly, that the latest firmware release did not fix anything. Below you will see correspondence since Kingston's backing.
