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...
The Kingston UV400 SSD series is Kingston's value SSD using TLC NAND, it is one of the cheapest entry-level SSDs you can get today. While the read and write speeds appear to be true, sustained speeds are different under heavy testing. For the price, it de...

Low cost, Drive only and bundle options, High overall value, 3Year warranty
Low performance, Variable build of materials, Low notebook battery life, No directtodie sequential algorithm
The Kingston UV400 480GB is a low cost, but low-performance consumer SSD for users looking for the former more than the latter. The drive is cheap, even by entry-level SSD standards. In the same vein, the performance is also low by entry-level SSD sta...
Price, Good overall performance, SSD Upgrade kit is nice to see, Available in capacities up to 960GB, 3-year warranty
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/...
Build Quality (Toshiba 15nm NAND Flash/Marvell Controller), Very Good Overall Performance, 3 Years Warranty / 1 Million Hours MTBF, Design (New For A Kingston Drive), Price (For Some), ,
IOmeter SNIA Performance,
Our charts clearly show that the SSDnow UV400 480GB may not be the fastest SSD in the market today but it holds its own against many of the latest models. Certainly after using up all 8GB of the pseudo SLC cache write performance drops quite...
High performance comparing to competitive drives, Inexpensive, Desktop installation kit, Great option as HDD replacement
None worth to mention,
If you are planning to replace your old HDD with much faster SSD in reasonable price then Kingston UV400 seems like the right choice. It offers good performance, high quality design and three year warranty. All that is also inexpensive what for many users...

At its current price points the Kingston SSDNow UV400 is a very cheap buy. The entry-level segment is cut throat and typically those with the lowest prices win. Kingston even has both a barebones and upgrade bundle option available for this SSD. For just...
The main reason for complaints will be the slow write speed of the TLC, but this SSD is not aimed at those that look for the best write performance from a drive, but at people that want to have a cost effective SSD to replace their mechanical drive, and m...

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...
