February 14, 2017

Style: SATA3Capacity: 120GVerified Purchase

Definitely not the fastest SSD on the market, but for what it is, it's fantastic. It's very inexpensive and provides performance SIGNIFICANTLY better than a mechanical hard drive. Kingston knows they're not top of the line, and they price their products accordingly; I respect them for that. I don't buy the highest end top of the line components because I don't buy parts so I can benchmark them and get excited about how fast they are. Real world performance is all I care about, and I'm not going to notice the difference of a few seconds between different SSDs. The difference between HDD and SDD though, phew! HUGE! I just want Windows to boot up fast (about 8 seconds after I hit the power button I'm in Windows), games to load quickly (Battlefield 1 maps load in about 10 seconds) and this drive is perfect for that. Also, my motherboard has SATA 2 and not 3, so there was no reason for me to get the fastest drive available. KEEP IN MIND FOR THE SCREENSHOT THAT I POSTED, THIS IS WITH A SATA 2 CONNECTION, NOT SATA 3. SATA 3 is (theoretically) twice as fast, so there would be a significant increase in performance with a SATA 3 board over this. Still extremely pleased with these results on a sata 2 connection with a $45 drive. Would buy again, and probably will.

Big Improvements for the $

March 30, 2017

Style: SATA3Capacity: 120GVerified Purchase

PRODUCT: Kingston A400 120GB SSD

SUMMARY:
This drive is a great deal for improved performance if you don't need a whole lot of space. It’s top-notch for an entry-level SSD, but because of how bare-bones it is, you might need to be prepared for a very slightly more difficult process to set this up than with some other popular SSD choices.

MY SITUATION:
I’m not precisely an IT professional, but I do deal with all the tech for the small business I work for, and I’d rank my IT skills as medium-high. I'm working on updating the computers in an office with 16 employees, and with most of the computers needing a boost in speed, it's great to be able to buy several of these for a good price. The vast majority of our work documents are stored in shared locations, so none of our computers need a whole lot of space—our staff are generally only using 50-70GB on their drives for the OS and a pretty standard array of programs, so 120GB is the perfect size for us.

Because most of our computers are at least three years old, the hardware only supports SATA II, so we're not seeing the huge improvement in speed that we might if we were going from HDDs to upper-limit SATA III speeds, but regardless, speeds have more than doubled in the four computers I've swapped these into so far, and users are seeing improvements, particularly in startup speeds for the computer (from more than 3 minutes down to 30 seconds) and for individual programs. See images for CrystalDisk comparison before and after on one of the machines. I'll post an update once I put together the brand new build I'm about to do with one of these.

ISSUES IN THE PROCESS:
I did run into a couple of issues that threw me off while installing these. The first was that the drive would not show up after hooking it up in the case and rebooting. It didn’t show in This PC or in Computer Management. The solution was to run Windows Memory Diagnostic, which is easily found through the start menu and took maybe 5-10 minutes to run on the two computers that had this issue. After that, I was able to see the disk in Computer Management, and I GPT partitioned each of the drives from there. See pieced together image for visuals on the process for getting this settled.

The other slight hiccup I had was the computer refusing to boot from the drive once I removed the old HDD; this was easily resolved by changing the boot mode in the BIOS from Legacy to UEFI, which was necessary because I had partitioned them all as GPT.

OTHER NOTES:
I planned on mounting all of these with some heavy-duty Velcro we have lying around the office, which I’ve heard several places is fine because SSDs don’t have moving parts, so they don’t need to be held super-steady, and skipping a mounting bracket saved about $6 per drive (which is nice when buying several). The Velcro is doing just fine for three of the drives, and the fourth computer, conveniently, had a hot-swap bay with a 3.5 slot on one side (where the old HDD was), and a 2.5 spot on the other side that worked perfectly with some spare screws from the last case I bought.

A wonderful upgrade

January 21, 2018

Style: SATA3Capacity: 120GVerified Purchase

It's great. The enclosure looked better than expected, thanks to glossy, embossed graphics. It helped a low budget desktop PC from 2010 handle Windows 10 Home 64 bit's need for constant storage device activity. The 55.1 MB / s hard drive often filled the Task Manager's graph with 100% activity for several minutes at a time. When the machine was idle and background maintenance processes were active, it behaved the same way. Now the 261.1 MB / s solid state drive (on a SATA II Intel G41 motherboard) calmly and quietly handles these matters and keeps the formerly tall, solid green task manager graph way down at the bottom with a few small spikes now and then. The computer is much more responsive now. It isn't frantically trying to handle Microsoft's bloated code and getting in my way. Interactive flow with the user interface has been restored. Delaying gratification and waiting for solid state drive prices to fall was a good move, since the performance difference was very noticeable. It's cool to see Windows 10's File Explorer generate photo thumbnails quickly. Installing software is much faster too. Updates and malware scans are no longer a burden. I'm glad I went with an established name brand.

This is currently the cheapest name brand 120gb ssd drive you can buy. I was on a tight budget so I decided to buy this instead of others that cost a bit more to save some money. I am very impressed with the speeds considering it's the cheapest ssd you can buy. I did run into some issues right off the bat. I was getting slow speeds, nearly as slow as my standard hard drive. After some research I found out that my sata controller was set to ide. After changing to achi I am now getting close to the advertised speeds. Boots windows 10 in 9 seconds.

This was the second drive I purchased to upgrade a laptop. The first was an open box that looked like it had been put into an oven. So I sent it back and got a new one instead. It worked perfectly like every Kingston drive I've used. It didn't come with a drive caddy but I didn't expect that it would and was ready for that. Installation was quick and easy. I cloned the on board drive, flipped the laptop over, switched out the drive, replaced the case and was done in under 30 minutes. Most of that time was cloning the drive and verifying the cloning process.

I did a lot of searching and this is probably the test deal for the price of a new SSD.

Not as fast as others, but it is cheap and boots up fast. For the money, you can't do better.
