This is a great ssd robust, decent speed and has never given me any problems.

My computer boots up in less than 15 secs and thats including logging in with my password set. Recommended for everyone!
My overall boot time including passwords, apps launching etc is around 10-15 seconds which is handy.

What customers say about "Features"

Kingston UV400 240 GB Solid State Drive SATA 3 Standalone Drive

Installed into a Macbook Pro Mid 2009. Formatted, installed Mac OS and working great!
The physical installation was relatively easy.
This one came fast and was easy to install.
Works well easy installation.
Amazing easy install. Laptop easy fresh install currently running Windows 10.

Kingston A400 Solid State Drive (2.5 Inch, SATA III)

Very light, easy to install (unscrew case, unscrew old drive, screw in new drive).
The drive is very lightweight, easy to install. Seems quite fast.
Fairly easy to install and to clone my existing drive .I'm not disappointed!
Only drawback was that I thought it would be easy to clone the old drives to swap the new ones in, but that was a total pain, so ended up doing a fresh install and copying data across to new drive.
My issue is that there is no drive imaging software support from Kingston for the this range of SSDs, most disappointing.
