Review: Big Improvements for the $ - PRODUCT: Kingston A400 120GB SSD SUMMARY: This drive is a great deal for improved performance if you don't need a whole lot of space. It’s top-notch for an entry-level SSD, but because of how bare-bones it is, you might need to be prepared for a very slightly more difficult process to set this up than with some other popular SSD choices. MY SITUATION: I’m not precisely an IT professional, but I do deal with all the tech for the small business I work for, and I’d rank my IT skills as medium-high. I'm working on updating the computers in an office with 16 employees, and with most of the computers needing a boost in speed, it's great to be able to buy several of these for a good price. The vast majority of our work documents are stored in shared locations, so none of our computers need a whole lot of space—our staff are generally only using 50-70GB on their drives for the OS and a pretty standard array of programs, so 120GB is the perfect size for us. Because most of our computers are at least three years old, the hardware only supports SATA II, so we're not seeing the huge improvement in speed that we might if we were going from HDDs to upper-limit SATA III speeds, but regardless, speeds have more than doubled in the four computers I've swapped these into so far, and users are seeing improvements, particularly in startup speeds for the computer (from more than 3 minutes down to 30 seconds) and for individual programs. See images for CrystalDisk comparison before and after on one of the machines. I'll post an update once I put together the brand new build I'm about to do with one of these. ISSUES IN THE PROCESS: I did run into a couple of issues that threw me off while installing these. The first was that the drive would not show up after hooking it up in the case and rebooting. It didn’t show in This PC or in Computer Management. The solution was to run Windows Memory Diagnostic, which is easily found through the start menu and took maybe 5-10 minutes to run on the two computers that had this issue. After that, I was able to see the disk in Computer Management, and I GPT partitioned each of the drives from there. See pieced together image for visuals on the process for getting this settled. The other slight hiccup I had was the computer refusing to boot from the drive once I removed the old HDD; this was easily resolved by changing the boot mode in the BIOS from Legacy to UEFI, which was necessary because I had partitioned them all as GPT. OTHER NOTES: I planned on mounting all of these with some heavy-duty Velcro we have lying around the office, which I’ve heard several places is fine because SSDs don’t have moving parts, so they don’t need to be held super-steady, and skipping a mounting bracket saved about $6 per drive (which is nice when buying several). The Velcro is doing just fine for three of the drives, and the fourth computer, conveniently, had a hot-swap bay with a 3.5 slot on one side (where the old HDD was), and a 2.5 spot on the other side that worked perfectly with some spare screws from the last case I bought.
Review: Kingston Quality At a Good Price - With a 3.5 inch mounting bay adapter it worked well in an older Dell Tower PC giving it significantly better performance. Computer now boots to login screen in 12 seconds instead of a few minutes. It was an easy fast upgrade with no surprises.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with cloning software? pny ssd comes with one. so i want to make sure if it does?**
A: Hey Vineet Chawla,
The Kingston A400 series SSD does not include drive cloning software or SATA cables. It is intended for users who refer to use their existing cloning tools and hardware with the SSD. If you do require cloning software, you may want to look into a Windows PC based application titled "Reflect" by Macrium, or Carbon Copy for Mac computers. Either application is available free to download from the internet. Thank you! 
- Chris @KingstonTechnology

**Q: i have a toshiba satellite with serial ata-150 interface.  will SATA-3 interface drives work?**
A: Hello Dave, SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s) A400 series SSD by design is compatible with legacy SATA interface.  SA400S37/120G will work fine in the older Toshiba Satellite, although not performing up to the advertised SSD speeds due to host system limitations, nonetheless A400 will outperform original hard disk drive to help enhance the system overall performance.  A400 should physically fit the notebook internal drive bay using existing mounting hardware.  PC will automatically detect the new SSD upon power up.  Fresh install operation system and applications from original installation CD on the SSD as you would on standard disk drives.  Thank you!-Kai @ Kingston TS

**Q: will this fit a toshiba satellite 2 in 1 laptop?  who will be doing the installation and data transfer?**
A: Hello Ae, Toshiba released multiple generations Satellite 2-in-1 laptop that supported different internal data storage devices and upgrade possibility.  Please provide exact Satellite model number or laptop manufacturer part number found on system underside to help determine system hardware configuration and recommended upgrades.  Kingston A400 series SSD shipped with drive only without data migration software.  End user or professional computer technician is responsible to obtain suitable software to transfer data.  It is possible to arrange professional computer services thru Amazon to carry out SSD installation and data transfer.  Check Amazon "Get Professional Installation Service" for more details.  Thank you!

**Q: Will this work with a mid-2009 macbook?**
A: Linda,
Apple has released multiple models MacBook mid-2009 computers that based on legacy Serial-ATA (SATA) data storage interface by today's standards.  Kingston SATA-3 standard A400 SSD is backward compatible with older technology and works well in the older MacBook.  Keep in mind that computer would not take full advantage of the A400 higher performance due to system hardware limitation.  It may be possible to look up SSD installation reference online if you provide exact MacBook model number or manufacturer part number.  Thank you.
