Kingston A400 480GB SATA III Solid State Drive
The Kingston A400 solid-state drive transforms your existing system's performance with significantly faster boot times, application loading, and file transfers compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. This 480GB SSD delivers sequential read speeds up to 500MB/s and write speeds up to 450MB/s, making it 10x faster than conventional hard drives for improved system responsiveness and multi-tasking capabilities.
Performance Specifications
Powered by a latest generation 2Ch controller, the A400 handles SATA III 6.0 Gbit/s interface while maintaining backwards compatibility with 3.0 Gbit/s and 1.5 Gbit/s systems. The 480GB capacity provides ample space for your operating system, applications, and frequently accessed files, making it suitable as either a primary drive or hard drive replacement.
Reliability and Durability
Solid-state technology offers superior reliability compared to mechanical hard drives. With no moving parts, the A400 is more resistant to physical shock and operates silently. The compact 2.5-inch form factor (69.9 x 7 x 100 mm) and lightweight design at just 41g make installation straightforward in most desktop and laptop systems.
