Kingston A400 960GB SATA SSD

The Kingston A400 is a 2.5-inch internal solid state drive with 960GB capacity and a SATA III 6Gb/s interface. It uses 3D TLC NAND flash and a Phison S11 controller to deliver sequential reads up to 500MB/s and writes up to 450MB/s. Designed for desktop PCs, notebooks and all-in-one computers, it offers a quiet, fanless upgrade with 320TBW endurance.

Check compatibility before ordering

Verify that your system has a free 2.5-inch drive bay and a SATA data port on the motherboard. The drive requires both a 7-pin SATA data cable and a 15-pin SATA power connector from the power supply. It is backward compatible with SATA 2.0 and 1.0 ports, though speeds will be limited by the slower link. Ensure the operating system supports AHCI mode for best performance.

Build integration and benefits

At 7mm thick and 69.9mm wide, the drive fits standard laptop caddies and desktop brackets without adapters. Low typical power draw of 0.3W idle and 1.5W active reduces thermal load and extends battery life in portable machines. With no moving parts, it resists shock up to 1500G and vibration up to 2.17G for reliable mobile use. Plug-and-play installation lets the OS recognise the drive immediately, freeing you from driver hunts.

Questions about this item

Will this drive fit in a laptop that only has space for a 7 mm thick 2.5-inch drive?

Yes, the drive is exactly 7 mm thick and uses the standard 2.5-inch form factor, so it fits any bay or caddy designed for that height.

Does the drive work with an older motherboard that only supports SATA 2.0?

Yes, the SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA 2.0 and 1.0, so the drive will operate at the slower link speed without any extra configuration.

What cables or adapters are needed to install the drive in a desktop PC?

A standard SATA 7-pin data cable and a SATA 15-pin power connector from the power supply are all that is required; no special adapters or brackets are included.
