Overview
- The Kingston A400 960GB is a mainstream 2.5" SATA SSD that delivers significant performance improvements over mechanical hard drives. With sequential read speeds up to 500MB/s and write speeds up to 450MB/s, the A400 dramatically reduces boot times, accelerates application loading, and improves overall system responsiveness. Its ultra-slim 7mm form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained installations.
Built with TLC NAND technology and rated for 1 million hours MTBF, the A400 offers reliable, durable performance suitable for everyday business computing. The 960GB capacity provides ample space for applications, data, and system files, whilst the 160TB TBW endurance rating ensures longevity under normal workloads.
The SATA Rev. 3.0 interface provides backwards compatibility with legacy systems, making the A400 a practical upgrade path for organisations with mixed IT infrastructure. Kingston's 3-year limited warranty and free technical support provide peace of mind and accessible assistance when needed.
