If you have an old PC or Laptop with a clunky old mechanical hard drive or a fairly decent PC with a small capacity SSD then now is the right time to be considering an SSD purchase or upgrade.

I had been using a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 128gb for many years now and while technically there was nothing wrong with it, I was often having to manage my space carefully as with a full Windows 10 installation plus updates and my Adobe applications and a few other things I was constantly running out of space.

When I saw that I could pick up a whopping 480GB SSD for just over $100AUD it was too hard to say no.

The Kingston A400 SSD has theoretical maximum read speeds at 500MB/s and write speeds of 450MB/s but when I tested this drive I was constantly getting slightly higher on the reads and slightly less on the writes but not always ( as the benchmarks show ) which is on par with what I was getting with my Samsung 840 EVO.

Ultimately this drive is an absolute bargain IMO and the performance is absolutely fine.

I can now store locally all of my favourite games, the entire Adobe suite and whatever else I want without having to worry about space.

So considering it’s coming up to Christmas I think you should do yourself or someone you know a favour and get yourself an SSD. You won’t be disappointed.

This review was not sponsored and is my own opinion. I paid for this SSD with my own money.

You don’t even need to buy this model but if you do the links are down below.
