Breathe New Life into your System

Kingston’s SSDNow UV400 is powered by a four-channel Marvell controller for incredible speeds and higher performance compared to a mechanical hard drive. It dramatically improves the responsiveness of your existing system and is 10 times faster than a 7200RPM hard drive*.

Rugged and more reliable and durable than a hard drive, UV400 is built using Flash memory so it’s shock- and vibration-resistant and less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It's ruggedness makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

For easy installation, UV400 is available in a bundle kit that includes everything needed to get the SSD installed into your existing system, including a USB enclosure to transfer data, a 2–3.5 inch adapter to mount in a desktop environment, a SATA data cable and a coupon for an Acronis data migration software download**.

UV400 is available in multiple capacities, from 120GB to 960GB***, giving you plenty of space for all your files, applications, videos, photos and other important documents. It’s the ideal hard drive replacement and can also replace a smaller SSD in your system to give you all the room you need.

* Based on 'out-of-box performance' using a SATA Rev. 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software and usage. IOMETER Random 4k Random Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.

** Operating system software support: Windows 8.1, 8, 7 (SP1), Vista (SP1, SP2), XP (SP3).

*** Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at our website.

**** 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). Check our website for details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent SSD.. Buy it without any Second Thoughts.!!
Reviewed in India on 30 November 2016
Purchased this SSD @ 4999/-. First of all I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to Kingston and amazon too for making available such a sweet and great product at such a sweet deal.

I purchased this SSD simply for my OS and downloading stuff because i was fed-up with standard internal HDD's speed,nearly takes forever to boot up windows and all.

[Note: Those who purchase this HDD would need 2.5" SSD mounting brackets for installing this SSD in your PC Cabinet. Usually those mounting brackets come with your Cabinet itself(in my case) but if u don't got it cuz many cheaper cabinets dont provide it, so no worries you can easily purchase one from amazon or any online or local retailers. Also u need SATA 3.0/SATA 6gbps(both are same) port in your motherboard for this device to give you its full advantage and speeds. Using SATA 2.0/SATA 3gbps port will severly bottleneck its performance.]

Now of to the Pros and Cons:

Pros:
i) SSD is very light.(Feels weighing like a couple of biscuits taken together)
ii) Installaton is very easy.(Note: Requires 2.5" SSD mounting brackets)
iii) Transfer speeds are blazing fast.
iv) OS boots up in around 10-20 seconds(which is pretty extreme)
v) Transfer speeds are:
Read: 200-400mbps (In Case of SATA 3.0 -> SATA 3.0 & Depending on device used)
70-150 Mbps (In Case of SATA 3.0 -> SATA 2.0 & Depending on device used)
Write: 150-250 Mbps (In Case of SATA 3.0 -> SATA 3.0 & Depending on device used)
50-100 Mbps (In Case of SATA 3.0 -> SATA 2.0 & Depending on device used)

Cons:
i) Build quality could have been better.Can get damaged or get broken or worse if mishandled.

Apart from Pros and Cons and i highly recommend this SSD to every buyer out there who are looking for budget friendly SSD..!! Please go for it without any second thoughts.

3.0 out of 5 stars SSD is fine but received in damaged packaging
Reviewed in India on 1 July 2017
The ssd is fine but the packaging was damaged pretty bad. Not expected from cloud tail. I got this on lightning deal for Rs.5945. I have attached the photos for the same.
Initially seeing the package I was skeptical that it was opened, used or fake. So tried to verify its serial number from kingston but there is no such service. The only way is to call them and ask. There is also a kingston logo verification on their website.

Coming to the performance this SSD has S.M.A.R.T (technology from which you can monitor the health of the drive). You need to download the Kingston SSD manager software for monitoring it.
On Crystal Disk Mark I got around 450 MB of sequential read and write. And around 28 MB on 4k.
The system boot times were around 10 secs.

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Actualiza tu vieja y lenta Macbook Pro!
Reviewed in Mexico on 14 July 2017
Esta mini reseña no va a cubrir los datos técnicos de otras reseñas. Simplemente daré mi percepcion del producto y de la facilidad para swapear los discos de la famosa Macbook Pro de 13". Si, esa pequeña gordita cachetona; que aun integra lector de DVD ROM es la cosa más lenta del mundo. A punto de venderla o guardarla en el closet para siempre, me encontré con este SSD y recordé que algunos amigos me habían comentado maravillas de estos discos y de la velocidad que ganaban las Macs de 13". Así que dije ¿por qué no?

Para no hacer la historia larga, lo compré y lo guardé en un cajón. Esperando tener tiempo algún día para swapearlos (no es mi computadora principal). Cuando llegó el día me puse a ver tutoriales en Youtube y la verdad si hay muchos pero no hay muchos que digan exactamente las cosas para hacerlo correctamente. Total, me aventé. fué mi primer cambio de discos. Ví que no necesitaba más que un par de desarmadores, uno de cruz y un Torx 6 y asunto arreglado. Pedí por Amazon mi kit de Torx de $140 pesos y al día siguiente estaba haciendo el cambio, bendito Prime.

Unboxing del SSD.

He de decir que me decepcionó un poco la calidad de materiales. Se siente muy ligero y como que no le metieron el mejor acabado. Rasposo y como hueco, me llamó la atención lo ligero que es. Total, finalmente estos discos ya no son mas que una tabletita con circuitos. Quité el disco viejo, puse el nuevo. Entra perfecto, a la medida, no hay que ponerle ningún adaptador. Con los mismos tornillos y gomas del otro se coloca el nuevo. Swapeo total.

Instalar el Sierra en USB para bootear es mandatorio. Cerciorate de hacerlo antes de quitar el HDD viejo. Una vez hecho esto, instalado el Sierra en el nuevo SSD y configurado la pequeña Mac, me quedé SORPRENDIDO con el cambio de velocidad. Ahora vuelaaa. Nada que ver, giro de 180 grados. Ahora esa pequeña Mac bien podría convertirse en una computadora muy seria que se pone al tu x tu con muchas de hoy. Si a eso le añades unos 8 GB de RAM tienes una maquinita para muchos años más.

Estoy muy contento con el SSD, no se si va a durar, no se si es la mejor opción en SSDs. Lo compré por precio y por las 256 reseñas positivas que tiene. Hay algunos el doble de caros que seguramente sean unas milésimas más rápidos. Pero este disco por los mil y cachito de pesos que cuesta es un MUST si quieres rescatar o volver a la vida tu computadora.

Ahora la Mac es muy veloz, los ventiladores no se han vuelto locos (como dicen algunos reviews) y mi pequeño SSD de 240 GB es una maravilla

Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Además de la facilidad para swapear discos, de haber sabido que era tan facil lo hubiera hecho hace muuuucho tiempo.

Gracias por leer mi mini reseña, esperio que te sea de utilidad.
