My computer boots up in less than 15 secs and thats including logging in with my password set. Recommended for everyone!

What customers say about "Features"

Kingston SUV500 480GB SSD SATA3 2.5 Inch Drive

Once software is up to date works brilliantly at transfers everything inc O/S.
This ssd was very easy to install and has sped up my laptop immensely.
Working nicely. Decent speed, can boot PC. Pc starts much faster.
Machine runs great, perfect for browsing and playing films. Couldn't ask for more for the price. Recommended.
Fast little SSD. Currently running Windows10 on it through VMWare on a Mac. No issues, decent throughout.

Kingston A400 Solid State Drive (2.5 Inch, SATA III)

Very light, easy to install (unscrew case, unscrew old drive, screw in new drive).
The drive is very lightweight, easy to install. Seems quite fast.
Fairly easy to install and to clone my existing drive .I'm not disappointed!
Only drawback was that I thought it would be easy to clone the old drives to swap the new ones in, but that was a total pain, so ended up doing a fresh install and copying data across to new drive.
My issue is that there is no drive imaging software support from Kingston for the this range of SSDs, most disappointing.
