Whether you are a gamer, content creator, or a professional handling large datasets, the Kingston A400 provides the storage space you need without compromising on speed.

A new, unused product will show a wear indicator value of one hundred (100), whereas a product that has reached its endurance limit of program erase cycles will show a wear indicator value of one (1). Because of the drive’s reputation, I did not opt to break the warranty seal and take the unit apart, but apparently they do come with Phison or Silicon Motion controllers.This makes the drive a very poor choice if you intend to fill it up and this kind of behaviour is likely the cause of poor performance reported by users. Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, A400 is available in multiple capacities from 120GB-480GB. With a spacious 960GB capacity, this SSD offers ample room for your operating system, applications, games, and multimedia files.

That is very disappointing performance, as even the read speed was a pedestrian 223MB/s on the test platform.
