Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 Internal SSD SA400S37/480G - HDD Replacement for Increase Performance

My pc boots and feels 10x faster after installing this

I purchased this drive a year or two ago. It worked fine as a cheap laptop SSD, but after recently running benchmark tests, I have realized just how bad of a drive this thing is. For just a few extra dollars, you are FAR better off with a Western Digital Blue. I have both in their SATA form installed on my computer. My Western Digital can write a 48GB transfer in about 3 minutes and 20 seconds, with a sustained write speed of 220MB/s. The exact same transfer, from the exact same source drive, took 12:30, with a sustained write speed of about 55MB/s. For just a few more dollars, you can purchase a Western Digital or Samsung and get a 400% speed increase. Or, even better, jump up to an NVME drive and achieve 800% improvement. Im only still using this Kingston as a junk drawer on my computer because throwing it away would be a bit wasteful.

Bought this and a USP enclosure (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N626TH2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and plugged it into my Raspberry Pi 4. Took a little back and forth to get the system transferred over, but once that was taken care of, it worked great.

You know that when you are buying from Kingston there isnt anything to complain about! Great quality, and you get exactly what they listed! AMAZING Product

Worked flawlessly.

Works great in my NUC server running Ubuntu server for home automation.

These are $20 a pop. This is the greatest performance to price upgrade you can make for your old computer.

The speed of this drive slows way down. Im running it on 2 different computers with internal sata and external usb configurations with the same results. Transfering a large file will start out around 350MB/s and then slow down greatly to 10MB/s. After the buffer clears in 1 to 2 minutes going 10MB/s, it will jump to 350MB/s for a second or so and then back to 10MB/s for 1 or 2 minutes.

I use a USB3 interface and its roughly 130MB/s write speed so nowhere near the SSDs potential Write Speed. USB interface is the bottleneck.
