Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 Internal SSD SA400S37/480G - HDD Replacement for Increase Performance

Solid SSD. If you just need a cheap boot drive this is the one

I recently replace my HDD with this SSD and my laptop is not running but flying :) The time to wake up from hibernate and restart is same now. Boot time is at least 5 to 8 time faster.

A lot of people were concerned about not getting cloning software. FAQ recommended Macrium Reflect - Free. It work flawlessly for me to shrink the 1 TB of partitions to 480GB. Glad to get that cost savings. I went from Intel Optane 16 GB & 1 TB HDD, to this SSD. Boot time is slightly faster (Optane was good), but all other performance is tremendously improved. Browser launch time, MS Office launch, and Windows major update reboot is cut to a quarter of previous time. My 2018 Pavilion runs better than new. Response everywhere is so crisp.

I got this for our Easterling Customs- Budget pc building youtube channel- boot drive for our file server. Two months later and I am so happy we went with this drive.

I was very fond of the one day shipping and even happier with the product itself. I only needed two of the suggested four screws to secure it to my case, and frankly it doesnt look bad on display.

This good product, easy to install and meet my expectation
