Product Overview
Incredible Speeds Plus Rock-Solid Reliability
Kingston’s A400 solid-state drive dramatically improves the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading and transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a latest-gen controller for read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s and 320MB/s, this SSD is 10x faster than a traditional hard drive for higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking and an overall faster system.
Shock and Vibration Resistant
Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, A400 is built with Flash memory. There are no moving parts, making it less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It’s also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

Need a simple Hard Drive for your NUC - this is enough.
I bought this for a simple NUC project I was building to drive my 3D printers and Laser Etcher. Didn't need a lot of power or memory and so this was just the job.

Cheap and Cheerful!
If you're looking for an SSD for something simple like a boot drive, this really does the job. It's not as fast as an NMVe SSD, obviously, but coming in at less than £20, you really can't beat it, plus, it's from Kingston - an absolutely fantastic brand.
I wouldn't recommend this for anything where speed is a TOP priority, but this little thing is so light I thought I'd received a dud at first.
TLDR: If you want a cheap, simple SSD. This is the one to buy.

Used for AMD StoreMI
This SSD is currently being used in tandem with a Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD via AMD StoreMI. So while not quite as fast as booting directly from the SSD, the speeds are still greatly improved than purely booting from HDD, with the added benefit of other more commonly used programs being faster.

Fast boot and app launch
service from Scan was great.
The SSD now holds my (Linux) root directory. although I've kept a separate hard disk for home, logs, and the Swap partition (to help the SSD life span).
The boot used to be 55secs, and is now 10sec. Great.
