## Description

Incredible speeds plus rock-solid reliability - Kingston's A400 solid-state drive dramatically improves the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading and file transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives.

Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, A400 is built with Flash memory. There are no moving parts, making it less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It's also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

You can also replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with a drive big enough to hold all your files. Backwards compatibility to SATA Rev. 2.0 (3Gb/s).

Review: That day when quality met performance and performance met price. - I'm rebuilding a Dell E6440 and the DVD drive was wearing out. So, I opted for an additional drive, instead. This SSD fits inside of a caddy sold on desertcart. The hardware installation was straightforward. But I'm not a professional so I waited until my Wife got home. She's a Computer Science Grad. For her it was easy to set up. And it works great. Very fast file transfer speed. And very reliable. It's a Kingston product, and Kingston products are very high quality. The price is a bargain. I highly recommend this Kingston SSD.
Review: Great SSD. Don’t use the PDF instructions for cloning - SSD works great. One word of caution. If you need to clone the old disc with Acronis, don’t use the instructions in this desertcart listing. It will make you download the wrong Acronis and if you are not aware you will waste a lot of time trying to register, etc.. In my case the existing hard disk was excruciatingly slow and I wasted over 2 hours not getting anywhere. Instead, download the Kingston SSD Manager and in there you will find the correct Acronis download (specifically for Kingston drives) and instructions to get you up and running quickly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with cloning software? pny ssd comes with one. so i want to make sure if it does?**
A: Hey Vineet Chawla,
The Kingston A400 series SSD does not include drive cloning software or SATA cables. It is intended for users who refer to use their existing cloning tools and hardware with the SSD. If you do require cloning software, you may want to look into a Windows PC based application titled "Reflect" by Macrium, or Carbon Copy for Mac computers. Either application is available free to download from the internet. Thank you!

**Q: i have a toshiba satellite with serial ata-150 interface.  will SATA-3 interface drives work?**
A: Hello Dave, SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s) A400 series SSD by design is compatible with legacy SATA interface.  SA400S37/120G will work fine in the older Toshiba Satellite, although not performing up to the advertised SSD speeds due to host system limitations, nonetheless A400 will outperform original hard disk drive to help enhance the system overall performance.  A400 should physically fit the notebook internal drive bay using existing mounting hardware.  PC will automatically detect the new SSD upon power up.  Fresh install operation system and applications from original installation CD on the SSD as you would on standard disk drives.  Thank you!-Kai @ Kingston TS

**Q: will this fit a toshiba satellite 2 in 1 laptop?  who will be doing the installation and data transfer?**
A: Hello Ae, Toshiba released multiple generations Satellite 2-in-1 laptop that supported different internal data storage devices and upgrade possibility.  Please provide exact Satellite model number or laptop manufacturer part number found on system underside to help determine system hardware configuration and recommended upgrades.  Kingston A400 series SSD shipped with drive only without data migration software.  End user or professional computer technician is responsible to obtain suitable software to transfer data.  It is possible to arrange professional computer services thru Amazon to carry out SSD installation and data transfer.  Check Amazon "Get Professional Installation Service" for more details.  Thank you!

**Q: Will this work with a mid-2009 macbook?**
A: Linda,
Apple has released multiple models MacBook mid-2009 computers that based on legacy Serial-ATA (SATA) data storage interface by today's standards.  Kingston SATA-3 standard A400 SSD is backward compatible with older technology and works well in the older MacBook.  Keep in mind that computer would not take full advantage of the A400 higher performance due to system hardware limitation.  It may be possible to look up SSD installation reference online if you provide exact MacBook model number or manufacturer part number.  Thank you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a difference, wish I'd bought it sooner
*by J***T on May 14, 2025*

A laptop I was losing my patience with went from being "some old something I'll use in a pinch" to "I can't stop carrying this around the house with me" with one upgrade. I'd find some chores to do if I needed to reboot...it took some 3-4 minutes. Now it reboots in less than 30 seconds. Have to install a program? Oh crud, I better get comfortable, this is going to be awhile. Now its nearly as fast as my gaming desktop. There is no comparison...this 8-year old laptop I bought off of Craigslist with a 17" screen was just for watching movies in the bedroom...its all it was good for. Now its a fully functional laptop with a brand new lease on life and that I plan on having for years to come, if it holds up. What a good price for such an impressive upgrade...very, very happy that I decided to try this out. I will absolutely report back if it goes bad anytime soon, but as of now my inner geek is celebrating getting what seems like a brand new PC. Can't recommend enough.
