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

Bought it to upgrade a really old PC with a failing mechanical drive. Performance terrific, drive easy to install and works great, especially at such a great price.

I have bought several of these. For the price you can’t beat them. I have them in desktops and laptops. It made a dramatic difference in the performance of a netbook with only an Atom processor and 2gb ram.

The HP boot time went from 1 mins plus to 10 seconds, and my status as caring, nurturing bf went from okay to highly decent. I really recommend.

Bought it to upgrade my current computer, works perfectly.

I bought this to replace a hard drive on an older HP Pavilion laptop. I will say that Amazon could not confirm that it was fit my model number (DV6-7138us) but I took a chance based on the size and it fit with no problems. I found the installation to be pretty simple after watching a video on You Tube and downloading free software from Partition Wizard (mini-tool software) to clone my old hard drive. I also bought a USB-SATA adapter from Amazon so I would not have to reinstall windows. Simply connect the adapter into the new SSD hardrive and USB port on the computer to clone the old hard drive. Once that was complete using the software I switched out the hard drive by removing the carrier that holds it in place and replacing with the new one. The new SSD drive is working perfectly and my computer does boot up quickly (like 10 seconds or less). I mainly bought it out of concern that my old hard drive was failing and this one is great so far. I was not sure what size SSD hard drive to buy and I didnt want to spend a whole lot so I went with the 256 GB and it fit my needs perfectly as Im only using about 100 GB with 80-100 word documents and 400-500 pictures saved on it in addition to the Microsoft Office Suite. My old hard drive was still working but my computer would not consistently boot properly although it did when I cloned it. If your hard drive has failed, I believe you would need to download a new operating system which is available for free from Microsoft if using Windows as long as you have the original 25 digit product key code that came with the computer. Mine was stamped on the bottom of the laptop. This is not needed if you clone your hard drive but may be necessary if your old hard drive is not functioning. Its only been a few days but so far I am very pleased with this hard drive from Kingston.

It works pretty well on my laptop, its working very properly.

I replaced the HDD in my Dell laptop with this SSD. I was very pleased with the speed increase... the PC booted and shut down much faster, and apps opened faster. The laptop dual boots Linux Mint and Windows 10, and both systems showed significant speed improvement.

Good product

Estupendo, mi computadora no había estado tan rápida desde que me la compre.

Works as expected
