Type of review

The disk has been in operation for less than a year, it slows down terribly. I'm waiting for it to cover completely and I'll take it under warranty. The Kingston company has completely deteriorated, I don’t recommend taking anything from this company, a 240 gig disk died out in 2 years, 480 dies out a year later

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

I took to replace the current SSD 120GB due to lack of space. Before that, there was also Kingston, I used it for 5 years, there were no problems, the life of the disk on SSD Life was 97%. Therefore, I decided to take the same company, a larger volume. I've been using it for 3 months, no complaints.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Many wrote about the version of the firmware of the disk, that the buggy firmware version SBFKB1C2 was installed on the disks. On my disk, version SBFKB1D1 is installed. Based on this, I assume that there should be no problems. To what extent this is true, time will tell.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

since 2022, at 120 GB, such a disk has been under Windows, another 2 480 GB each were taken to me and my husband in a laptop for toys, no complaints at all about these SSDs, I’m especially glad that you can grab it very profitably, today I ordered myself the 3rd such disk, at the Sbermegamarket from Amazon with procode cost 2890.

Lame product and terrible quality.

Week promised to deliver and now canceled the order. The money was immediately debited, but the return is 10 days. Thank you. They wanted a son on NG. Now no gift.

Best price for this product, will buy more!

Set for games. Many people write that they are stupid, they did not reveal this. Played Aassassin's creed odyssey for about 20 hours. Loading from a simple HDD increased by a few seconds in total. Didn't notice much difference. On another computer, there is an SSD M2, this game loads faster, noticeably right away.

The model is broken. Took 3 times, 2 times changed under warranty. On the third took the money and bought the Evo. As a system for 2.5-2.8, you can take it, as at the current price, I do not recommend it. Some pros: At the time of purchase, it cost about 2.5k. For this money you could take. The speed is not so hot, but faster than the usual hdd, well, it does not make noise. Cons below: For the price that is now more than 4000, I would not take such a disk, Samsung is better. Evo 860 for the…

Different pros: I use disks of this model at work for installation on client terminals. Experience has shown that Kingston perfectly combines quality at an affordable price. Has some cons: For some reason, before initialization, it was defined as two disks 447 and 27 GB. Now I'm cloning the system from the HDD to it, I'll try to supplement the review already with the SSD

Perfect product for any user!

Got pros: The laptop really came to life with it, turning it on and off in just 5-10 seconds. Different cons: I read that they live such tough years for about 8 + -, maybe they are lying)) and the laptop itself will last so much, also a question)))

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

It will work just fine as an alternative to an HDD when it comes to installing it in an older laptop. Therefore, you need something more intelligent for your desktop, even if you take it from one of the cheaper models. The rest isn't too terrible. It does not generate any heat and performs its tasks in a quiet manner, however after using it, there is no desire to use the hard disk drive again. These are some advantages: Excellent design, comfy build, aluminum case. To put that another way, a…

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

All is well with the ssd. After installing a fresh copy of Windows 10, the laptop's performance immediately improved; I didn't bother to measure the difference in speed. Even with multiple programs running and a lot of copying going on, the disk usage never went beyond 4%.

Pros
  • Quality
Cons
  • Ideally, I'd want to see a reduction in the steepness of the price tag.

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…

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.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

You should know what you're getting into when purchasing a ssd with a small cache, so 5 stars despite the speed drop to 15 mb. M. It wasn't designed for use in that way. When it comes to my needs, I'd rather spend the extra $1,500 on a solid-state drive (ssd), as the A400 is intended for more casual users running Windows, browsing the web, playing games, etc. Benefits include: It's reliable, and it's faster than an HDD for playing games. I only used 2% of the capacity in two years, but I keep…

Does not meet my expectations, it was not worth buying.

If you can get your hands on a solid copy, this DVD does not have any direct rivals in its price range. The percentage of people getting married is quite high. I have included some screenshots that demonstrate the issue. On the first screen is a healthy copy of 240GB, while the second screen displays a flawed duplicate of 480GB.

Pros
  • Affordable and quick transfer times (was).
Cons
  • Got married (480GB version). The read and write speeds began to increase in a grasshopper-like manner when the disk reached more than 20% capacity. If it is at all possible, you should perform a spot check of this model's hard disks right away. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to figure out what was causing my computer to jerk erratically and occasionally freeze up for 10–20 seconds when I was playing games or surfing the web. The last thing I considered getting was a new solid-state drive (SSD). I have requested a replacement within the terms of the warranty.
