Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 Internal SSD SA400S37/480G - HDD Replacement for Increase Performance

Great product

Yea. Its an SSD. Im happy with it and the price

There was at one time info on here saying that this would work with a mac. Its formatted for PC only and will not reformat for Mac. That said, I put it into an old PC laptop, and it worked great, with fast OS install.

Great ssd drive works perfect....love Kingston products and got here immediately

Ive put these in 6 of my old systems for 16 bit gaming, redundancy, etc, to replace old hard drives that were getting slow, noisy and worrying me about their longevity.

Ive been upgrading older computers with SSD drives for a few years now and have never experienced a failure with Kingston SSD drives. While SSDs fail at a much lower rate than mechanical drives, I have experienced failures with more expensive Samsung EVO drives. While the Samsung EVO drives are technically faster, the sytems we are upgrading will not be able to take advantage of the speed difference. This particular drive replaced a Western Digital Blue 500Gb mechanical drive in 6 year old Lenovo ThinkPad E431 Core i5 with 8Gb RAM that had been upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro. Boot times were slashed and programs open up much faster. The end user is very happy with the upgrade and a happy customer is a win.

Works great

I love my small Dell Inspiron 11, as a nurse, it is a great take it with me solution, especially with the touchscreen. I will say the performance was slow on system boot, and at times I did not bother. My husband reviewed the online video on YouTube to show how to replace the HD, he used a program called mini-tool to migrate the information over to this digital HD via a USB/SATA cable, then installed this digital drive. WOW, boot time went from 115 seconds to 21 seconds, it is like having a new system! I am back to loving my little Inspiron, and my husband has explained that this is the biggest bottleneck of performance on most notebooks. So dont want to spend a bunch on a new system, make your system like new with a fast digital HD. NOTE: I was told to mention this, depending on how much room you have used on your original HD unit, it may limit your ability to go to a smaller drive as we did, but, there are solutions that are larger in this series or HDs. This does require some knowledge of operating systems and using utilities to transfer your information, and as always, have a backup fo the important stuff before you do anything. In closing, for the price of less than $30.00, I now have my favorite travel buddy when I need to be on the go, and enjoy it running like a far more expensive system for a fraction of the investment.

The drive performed as advertised, and works wonderfully for the budget. Used as an auxiliary drive for games in my system, it properly keeps load times down and has advertised storage. Whilst not as efficient as my Samsung 850 EVO, it is half the price. Satisfied with the product.

I bought this as a replacement for my Thinkpads HDD. Ive been working with it ever since whilst also playing video games practically 11 hours on seven days.
