Kingston A400 960 GB
Capacity-specific record for manufacturer part number SA400S37/960G. Specifications are restricted to cited manufacturer information; series-wide or typical figures are identified as such rather than treated as guarantees for every device or revision.
IDENTIFICATION: Match the full model/SKU SA400S37/960G, capacity, label, and firmware before servicing or replacing a drive. This is a consumer 2.5-inch SATA SSD, not an M.2 or NVMe device.
Specifications & compatibility
| Manufacturer / model / SKU | Kingston A400 960 GB // SA400S37/960G |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 960 GB nominal capacity. |
| Form factor / interface | 2.5-inch, 7 mm; SATA Rev. 3.0 (6 Gb/s), backward-compatible with SATA Rev. 2.0. |
| NAND | 3D NAND flash; Kingston does not specify a fixed NAND cell type or supplier for all units of this SKU. |
| Rated sequential performance | Up to 500 MB/s read and 450 MB/s write (manufacturer series figures; actual performance depends on host and workload). |
| Endurance | 300 TBW (manufacturer datasheet rating). |
| Warranty | Limited 3-year warranty with technical support, subject to Kingston terms. |
| Revision / identification | The cited manufacturer sources do not specify a fixed, field-interchangeable internal hardware revision for this consumer SKU. Preserve the full label, serial, firmware, and purchase region; confirm any service/firmware procedure with the manufacturer for the exact unit. |
| Host compatibility | Requires a compatible 2.5-inch SATA data and power connection; this SATA III drive can negotiate with older SATA hosts at their supported link speed. Verify bay height/adapter, connector, BIOS storage mode, operating-system driver, boot support, and TRIM/SMART pass-through through any enclosure or controller. |
Preservation & maintenance
- Record the drive label, full part number, serial, firmware, host/controller, and a read-only SMART snapshot before migration or configuration changes.
- Keep independent, verified backups; endurance, warranty, and SMART indicators do not guarantee remaining life or data retention.
- Do not assume NAND/controller interchangeability across production lots. Use only manufacturer instructions for firmware updates, secure erase, diagnostics, and warranty claims.
