This is an SSD. I put it in my macbook and it behaved as an SSD should. I would have liked it to have more space, but then agaion I would expect to pay more money for more space. Thus I would have had to purchase a larger drive.

It's been somewhat long since SATA and mSATA SSDs were last considered as hardware components aimed only for the niche/enthusiast market so if you're out looking for an entry-level model things may not get much better than they are today (although they probably will).

After six months of preparation, the United Way of Cleveland was about to embark on their most ambitious publicity stunt yet. Coordinated by Los Angeles based company Balloonart by Treb, the plan was to release two million balloons into the skies of Northern Ohio in September of 1986.

We have seen almost all solid state drive manufactures release an "entry-level" drive. This is

– Price; – Good overall performance; – SSD Upgrade kit is nice to see; – Available in capacities up to 960GB; – 3year warranty

– SLC caching causes slow writes with larger transfers

Recently Kingston released the new UV400 SSD series. These are the first Kingston drives for the European market that use TLC-memory, meaning they should be available at relatively low prices. In this review we take a look at this new series and test the 480GB-variant.

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.

Low cost; Drive only and bundle options; High overall value; 3-Year warranty

Low performance; Variable build of materials; Low notebook battery life; No direct-to-die sequential algorithm

I always use Kingston product never failed in twenty years

While I prefer the PNY equivalent as it is typically about $10-$15 less in cost, Micro Center has been out of the PNY 240 GB for some time now. I cloned a 250 GB spinning drive to the Kingston and, as expected, the performance with the SSD was night and day. 7 year old computer now boots in 15 sec.

Bought for a couple of general purpose machines and work fine. Not going to break any records with these but they are well priced for the size.

The Kingston SSDNow UV400 is a couple of years old now, but it remains the company's latest mainstream SSD option – Kingston's performance drive is the HyperX Savage. It's based on planar TLC NAND rather than a form of 3D NAND, which you might think would suggest it's at a disadvantage, given that...

Decent price; Delivers the basics

Lower capacities are slow; No five-year warranty
