  • Do not listen to the bad reviews.
Style: SATA3 Capacity: 240 GB
After reading a review by a DGS fellow that said he had 30 years in the tech business, I thought this was a real P.O.S.. Well, a little while ago my Ex called me up because she was having some issues with her computer and wanted me to look at it. Being the sap I am, I said ok. Turns out the HDD was bad. The bells went off and I remembered the review left buy the tech guy in Florida and I thought "Eureka!". I would get this SSD for her system and within a few days her computer would explode like a dumpster full of TNT. I get the SSD not on time but a full day early in fact. It installs super easy and she comes and picks it up. I have to hide my excitement as I just wait to hear about the evil that is to come. So after about a week I get anxious and call the Ex to see what was up. Her "Boy Toy" answers and gives me the dreaded news. Not only is it still running, but it is super fast and efficient. He then proceeds to thank me and compliment me on "How mature" it was of me to do this for her even after how messy the divorce was. And how good of a person I really was for being the bigger person and all of that. Long story short, if your looking for a piece of hardware to sabotage your Ex's computer with, this is not it. But, if you are looking for a stable SSD on the cheap to add some performance to your system, well, sadly this is in fact it. ... show more

  • Not a Boot Drive
Style: SATA3 Capacity: 120 GB
Physical installation was a breeze. Open the case, plug it in, and the computer saw it. However. I bought this to install my Linux operating system. After multiple attempts I was finally able to install the system. I have installed Linux on multiple drives, on multiple computers, and this is the first time I had to fight with the installation. As it turns out, this drive is not natively configured to be a boot drive, which is why I had such a time with the installation, and which is why I do not have a menu on bootup asking which operating system to boot (I have a 250 GB SSD running Windows 10). The only purpose for purchasing an SSD of this size is to install only an operating system, and since it wasn't configured as a boot drive then it ultimately fails at its ONE job. Yes, I have it working; that said, on a functional bootable drive I automatically get a menu asking which OS to boot. On this one, I have to enter UEFI and go to the boot menu and select the drive to boot from. It's an incredible disappointment after my experience with the 250 GB SSD I purchased. ... show more

Style: SATA3 Capacity: 120 GB
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. ... show more

  • Kingston A400 SSD 480GB Stay away!
Style: SATA3 Capacity: 480 GB
As a 30-year+ computer guy, this is the only SSD drive I have ever purchased which worked perfectly when installed but failed totally with 2 weeks. I seriously recommend you spend a few more dollars and purchase a more dependable drive. While Kingston replaced the drive, (unit was outside the Amazon 30-day limit but was in my inventory a couple of months before I used it) I had to pay return shipping charges plus I now have another which I do not trust to use with a customer. Why did I buy it? Low sale price. ... show more

Style: SATA3 Capacity: 240 GB
This is not the fastest SSD out there by any means. But it is cheap, and it is still an order of magnitude faster than a HDD. While you'll definitely see the difference between this and the top tier SSDs in benchmarks, in day to day usage you'll honestly be hard pressed to notice the difference. The 240GB version is a perfect size to run your OS (plenty of room for all of the large temporary files Windows creates) and throw a few games on, pair with HDD for file storage. This is probably the single cheapest, most effective and impactful upgrade you can make to your computer. If you've got the money for a newer Samsung EVO drive with a larger capacity then go for it, but if not this will do the trick in a pinch. Well worth the money. ... show more
