As expected, the UV400 didn't light up any of our charts. Regarding performance, we don't have a lot to point to as a reason why you would want to choose the UV400 over competing solutions. However, when we look at the overall value proposition that the...

The Kingston UV400 480GB is yet another budget SSD available on the market; where manufacturers mainly compete in terms of price instead of performance. The UV400 should primarily be cheap, and with the 480GB-variant we can clearly see the friendly pric...

If you're upgrading a laptop, the entire kit is excellent value and gives you everything you need for a quick upgrade. If you just want a bare drive for a PC, the kit is overpriced and the standalone drive not quite as good value...

In other words, the UV400 is a drive that’s very much meant for having data written to it once, and then just recalling that data quickly for you. As such, it’s still potentially suited to working as a boot drive – in everyday use, most users don’t write...
Decent price, Delivers the basics...
Lower capacities are slow, No five-year warranty...
SATA SSDs are now all about price, and right now this comparatively underperforming drive’s price isn’t low enough...

Today we tested one more value SSD, the Kingston SSDNow UV400 120 GiB. Let's see how it performs.Recently, we compared the SanDisk SSD Plus and the Kingston SSDNow V300, both with 120 GiB, which are nowadays two of the most inexpensive SSDs found on the m...
Analyzing the data obtained on our tests, the first conclusion is that the SSDNow UV400 120 GiB does not suffer from the same problem of performace drop with uncompressible data we found on the V300 model. So, the UV400 is faster than the V300 on most wri...

Analyzing the data obtained on our tests, the first conclusion is that the SSDNow UV400 240 GiB does not present performace drop with uncompressible data, due to its controller that does not rely on data compression to achieve higher speeds.Another intere...

We have seen almost all solid state drive manufactures release an “entry-level” drive. This is mainly because of the ready availability of TLC NAND. While these entry-level SSDs do not have the performance and endurance of the high-performance SSDs we all...

SLC caching causes slow writes with larger transfers...
Now keep in mind this is Kingston's entry level solid state drive, so you are not going to see crazy performance numbers. The SSDNow UV400 did however have respectible results in our tests. In ATTO Disk Benchmark we saw speeds of 560 MB/s read and 528 MB/...

On most counts, Kingston SSDNow UV400 is a good drive for its cost. This entry-level will attract a lot of people moving out of 5,400 RPM/7200 RPM mechanical drive, mostly general purpose PCS and notebooks. It is just strange that Kingston doesn't provide...
