Kingston A400 480 GB (SA400S37/480G)
2.5-inch SATA SSD product SKU. This entry records a distinct product or well-defined family; differences among revisions and similarly named models are called out below.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: Match the full model/part number, revision, and region to the item label and its manufacturer documentation. Where a family has multiple revisions, specifications below are not universal across the family.
Recorded specifications
| Cataloged part | Kingston A400 480 GB (SA400S37/480G) |
|---|---|
| Era / family | 2.5-inch SATA SSD product SKU |
| Key specifications | 480 GB; SATA 6 Gb/s; 2.5-inch 7 mm; sequential performance and endurance are capacity/revision dependent. |
| Interface / fit | SATA compatible host; product revisions may use different NAND/controller components while retaining the retail model. |
| Variants / identification | Record label, firmware, and SMART identity; avoid treating A400 family performance as a single fixed component BOM. |
| Archive record | Record full part number, hardware revision, serial/date code, firmware/BIOS, accessories, physical condition, and the documentation revision used for verification. |
Compatibility and handling
- Confirm the complete part number, connector signal/pinout, supported host, dimensions, power, firmware and operating-system requirements before use.
- Inspect for corrosion, cracked parts, bent pins, damaged insulation, failing bearings, leaking cells, or prior repair. Avoid powering unidentified or damaged hardware.
- For compatibility claims, cite a specific manual, CPU support list, interface standard, or tested host configuration; physical fit alone is insufficient.
- Record measurements with the test setup and instrument conditions; distinguish vendor maximums from measured or sustained results.
