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/s¹, this SSD is 10x faster than a traditional hard drive¹ for higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking and an overall faster system.

Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, A400 is built with Flash memory. There are no moving parts, making it less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It is also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

    I remember when working at a school - we bulk ordered about 250 of these.

    About 30 were DOA and another 50 odd failed along the way (few months I'd say)

    Be weary. They're great when they work but I no longer trust them.

    That's only for A400 as Kingston are mostly reliable for everything else

    So, is this a good drive to buy, as the main OS drive?

    An SSD in general is a great upgrade over a HDD (if you currently use a HDD as an OS Drive)
    NVMe's are a lot better in terms of performance, but SSD's are great for budget/performance.

    I have the 500gb version of this in my work computer. It lasted about 9 months then packed in. I got in touch with Kingston who promptly sent me another and this one has been good so far for about 5 months.
    I also just bought this 1tb version about a week ago for a very similar price to use as an external SSD with an enclosure (can't remember the brand but it is Amazon's choice). The 1tb works very well with the enclosure and gives you a 1tb external SSD for less than £50.00.
    You do have to do a bit of wizardry by formatting it first though.

    Would this be usable for a PS4? Thanks.
