Arrivé rapidement, fonctionne parfaitement, cependant pas de cable sata fourni donc ne pas oublier d’en prévoir un si vous n’en avez pas d’avance.

El artículo vino en perfecto estado de embalaje y protegido la instalación fue genial pues debido a mi portátil pes fue fácil de hacer el disco es bueno y del que estoy haciendo referencia esta muy pero que muy bien tanto en capacidad que es el que compre la marca pues ya aviendo utilizado otro disco de la misma marca y me fue perfecto durante toda la vida útil que me duro el propio portátil yo recomiendo tanto el disco de su capacidad como la marca 100×100.

Ich habe die Solid State Disk Kingston A400 mit 2 TB Speicherkapazität am 22. August 2020 für 174,90 EUR bestellt und bin mit ihr voll zufrieden.
Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt war, dass ich kein SATA-Kabel mehr für sie übrig hatte und deshalb zwei weitere Tage auf die Nachlieferung warten musste. Ein kurzer Reminder der Foirm „ans SATA-Kabel gedacht?“ von Amazon bei der Bestellung wäre hier genial gewesen.
Die SSD fungiert in meinem Gaming PC als Stauraum für Audiosoftware. Die bei der Musikproduktion anfallenden Dateien sind mit vielen GB sehr umfangreich und verlangen gleichzeitig nach einem schnelleren Speichermedium als Festplatten. Umgekehrt ist der Performance-Bedarf aber auch nicht so gigantisch, dass es sich lohnen würde, in die 7 mal so schnellen dafür aber auch 2 mal so teuren Samsung-SSDs zu investieren. Die Kingston-SSD damit für mich ein optimaler Kompromiss.

Troquei um SSD de 1 Tb por esse de 2 Tb e percebi um pouco de queda na velocidade de leitura. No geral o produto é muito bom.

Few terms that you should be familiar with:
TLC (Triple level cell): Single NAND cell can store 3 bits, therefore SSD will be cheaper, slower and deteriorate faster but will have higher capacity in similarly dense SLC/MLC SSDs. (You don’t need to worry about SSD wear, this SSD is rated for at least 1 million hours MTBF.
Dual channel controller: Basically two concurrent streams of data querying capacity.
DRAM cache: High speed memory embedded on SSD to speedup access time of frequently accessed files.
Kingston SA400 is a TLC Dual Controller Single Core (Phison PS3111-S11, last gen’s most popular controller) SSD with no DRAM cache, pretty much the cheapest SSD can go.
Therefore it is slower and dumber as compared to Samsung 860 EVO, Kingston UV500, Crucial MX500. But it’s also extremely cheaper.
The attached image shows the read and write speed of the SSD but these numbers are mostly misleading. If you are going for a SSD just to speed up the overall experience and snappiness of the OS, you should be looking for 4KB Queue depth of 1 and single threaded workload’s read and write speed because that’s the most common work load.
Now, a typical 5400 RPM HDD will have 4KiB Q1T1 speeds around 0.5 MiBPS read and 1.5 MiBPS write whereas you can see in the image that this SSD has ~35 MiBPS read and ~82 MiBPS write which is exponentially faster than HDD.
So, going with this SDD will have an exponential increase in speed as compared to HDD, while going for MLC/SLC SSD with DRAM cache and dual channel controller will have marginal increase in speed as compared to this SSD but a much more increase in cost.
Therefore, if you are tight on budget, go with this SSD without a doubt. But, if you have a specialized workload that can take advantage of higher queue depth speeds, multi threaded performance or sequential speeds and you have no issue in spending the extra money then go for more expensive ones. But, I would suggest to go with extremely high performing SSD like NVMe ones that directly communicate with the CPU using PCIe lanes, if you really want something above SA400.

I purchased this SSD as a replacement for my 5+ year old laptop to boost up the responsivness. After successful replacement the response boost is great. From above 3mins of Windows 10 startup time it has come down to less than 30 seconds. It was a pleasant surprise since my laptop has a basic configuration i.e. intel i3 3rd generation processor, 8 GB RAM and I was not anticipating such increase in responsiveness not only in boot-up time but also for other applications too like crome browser, Microsoft Office suites. I have another newer i7 6th Gen, 12 GB, 256 GB SSD lap top too and for general browsing and working on MS office suites I do not see much difference in responsiveness of both, may be the newer one is couple of seconds faster but that is about it.
I had to clone my existing HDD for which I used free version of “macrium reflect” software, I got the reccomendation to use this from Kingston Technologies A400 youtube chanel comment section. The software did not disappoint me as the cloning was smooth from existing 512 GB HDD to the new 480 GB Kingston SSD. During cloning I realized that a good number of hidden partitions were created by Lenovo to probably store system backup data. I had to deselect precreated D: drive (that stored all the drivers) to adjust to the reduced size and then later drag and drop to the destinantion that re-adjusted the D: drive.
After cloning I simply replaced my old HDD with the new SSD and booted the laptop. I was anticipating to make changes to recognize new SSD via BIOS settings but this was not needed at all as the cloning software or the boot time device registration and recognition plug and play software did its job and first time boot was seamless as if nothing had happened.
