0871 244 0934Upgrade your laptop or desktop with Kingston solid-state storage for quicker start-ups, shorter load times and faster file transfers. Choose from 2.5-inch SATA drives for compatible older systems or compact M.2 NVMe models for newer PCs. With a choice of capacities, there’s room for Windows, games, photos and everyday files. Compare form factor, capacity and speed to find a drive that suits your setup.
A Kingston SSD can use SATA or PCIe NVMe, depending on the model. A 2.5-inch SATA drive can suit many older laptops and desktops, while M.2 NVMe models fit supported motherboard slots. M.2 describes the drive’s size and shape, so it doesn’t mean every drive works in every M.2 slot. Check your device manual for the supported size and connection before you buy. A drive can also run below its rated speed if the slot supports fewer PCIe lanes.
The Kingston A400 SSD is a 2.5-inch SATA drive made for laptop and desktop upgrades. It comes in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities. Read speeds reach up to 500MB/s, while write speeds reach up to 450MB/s on larger versions. It’s a practical choice when you want faster start-ups and file access, but your device doesn’t support NVMe. Check for a 2.5-inch SATA bay before ordering.
A Kingston 1TB SSD gives you useful space for Windows, apps, games and personal files without going too large. A 2TB SSD gives you more breathing room for bigger game libraries, videos and creative work. Capacity isn’t the only detail to check. Some models, such as the NV3 range, use PCIe 4.0 NVMe and offer different read and write speeds by capacity. Think about what you store now, then leave some spare space for future downloads.
