Kingston A400 SSD Internal Solid State Drive 2.5" SATA Rev 3.0, 240GB - SA400S37/240G

Product Information

The ATTO benchmarks provided similarly rosy results, as it tested the read and write speeds of the drive using increasingly large files. The drive’s speed was pretty consistent at around 560.4MB/s read, 532MB/s write. Creating a File AllocationTable (FAT) or other directory. To enable flash storage devices to store and access customer files conveniently, a file management system must be created to allow any device or computer to identify the files stored in the flash storage device. Identifying all defectivecells and taking steps to ensure that no data will be written to or read from adefective cell.

Kingston’s A400 solid-state drive dramatically improves the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading and transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a latest-gen controller for read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s , this SSD is 10x faster than a traditional hard drive1 for higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking and an overall faster system.

As the name suggests, Kingston's UV series brings the ultra value. The new UV400 should be a very popular product for value-focused shoppers because Kingston designed it to provide high capacity flash-based storage on a beggar's budget.

This workaround is to change your system storage mode from RAID to AHCI and should work on all systems. Currently the drive is available in just three capacities - 60GB, 120GB and 240GB - with each capacity available in four different options: bare drive, notebook upgrade, desktop upgrade and a combo notebook/desktop upgrade kit. The latter was how Kingston supplied our 120GB review sample. Note: Some older model Kingston® SSDs may not be supported by Kingston® SSD Manager x64 v1.5.X.X. In this case, you may continue to use Kingston® SSD Manager v1.1.X.X.

Issue the format command to the drive. Here we set the secure erase setting to 1 which indicates a user data erase: Caution! The workarounds below will break RST RAID arrays and could lead to data loss. If your system has RST RAID arrays you should consider an alternate solution. Accessories – To help reduce ESD and prevent other problems, it is also a good idea to remove all jewellery.Custom made and designed products such as flash memory products with custom logo’s on them. E,g USB flash drives and memory cards with your own logo This 608ABBF0 firmware update is designed for Windows 8.1, 8,7 SP1, Vista SP2 and XP SP3. Your SATA controller must be configured for AHCI mode within the BIOS and you must connect the drive to a native SATA port. Third-party SATA ports are not supported when updating your firmware. Here we can see that the V Series is a consistent if rather slow performer. As mentioned earlier, though, the raw read and write speed is only of so much importance. So long as this drive still exhibits the snappy response that you expect from an SSD, has sufficient read/write performance, and doesn’t suffer too much from stuttering it will be worth considering. We started our testing by adding the drive as a blank, unformatted slave drive to our test bed then ran the read and write tests of the defacto standard benchmarking app, HDTune.
