Kingston - A400 - 240GB - SATA 6Gb/s - SSD

240 GB 2.5" SATA III SSD delivers a fast, reliable storage upgrade for laptops and desktops with solid performance and compact design.

This 240 GB solid-state drive uses TLC NAND flash and a standard 2.5" form factor, making it an easy replacement for traditional hard drives or an affordable primary drive for compact systems. With Serial ATA III interface compatibility it supports a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s for broad motherboard and laptop support.

Read speeds reach up to 500 MB/s and write speeds up to 350 MB/s, giving noticeably snappier boot times, application launches, and file transfers compared with mechanical disks. The drive’s MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and shock- and vibration-resistant construction help ensure long-term reliability in everyday use.

Designed with power efficiency in mind, the SSD consumes just 1.535 W during writes, peaks at 0.642 W, averages 0.279 W in active use and only 0.195 W when idle, which helps extend battery life in laptops. Operating temperature range is 0–70 °C and storage range is −40–85 °C, so it tolerates a wide variety of environments.

The physical dimensions (69.8 × 100.1 × 7 mm) and light weight (41 g) make installation straightforward into standard 2.5" bays, while the black finish keeps a low profile inside any system. Certification to CE and FCC standards provides assurance of regulatory compliance.

Typical use cases include replacing an old HDD to speed up a laptop, adding a secondary drive for faster game and application loading in a desktop, or building an affordable, low-power SSD-based office PC. Its compact size and blister packaging make it suitable for retail sales and straightforward installation by end users.
