[Amazon.ca] Kingston 240GB SSD 2.5" --> $39.99

Kingston 240GB A400 SSD 2.5"

Looks like a decent deal, they priced matched @ Canada Computers from last weeks promo I'm guessing

This would also be a good chance to spend some amazon credit received from UGO promo's as well

Good price for a 240gb!
I must say that at work we had SO MANY issues with Kingston. Drives are dying without notice. We don't order them anymore.

Good price for 240GB. I have this and the performance is not great, but for $40 hard to complain.

What do you mean by performance isn't great?

Guess only when he compares this against the fastest nvme ssds. This Kingston one has great performance in the eyes of 95% of the public (subjective stat)

Well, it scores lower then my 120GB V300 in AS SSD, which are plagued with issues. If others are having success with decent speed - the go for it. I'm just saying what I experience with mine.

No, it's just an older model SSD. It's good for reviving old PC's and laptops, but it's still not a fast drive.
It loses by a large margin to any of the good Sata ones, the 860 Evo, WD Blue, MX 500, etc. Not counting anything nvme.

There's nothing wrong with it, It's still Kingston and probably reliable. The people that buy this likely aren't putting it in a $1500 gaming rig anyway.

Kingston SSD's are reliable. I have two second generation V+200 120GB SSDs with 31 TB read/write total and just hit 10000 operating hours. No problems. These A400s are good for extending the life of older Core 2 Duo and Sandy Bridge laptops.

I have several Kingston SSD's. If you plan to play some AAA title games it will likely struggle. I am constantly maxing out the hard drive at 100% while playing Battlefield 5. Drive is great for light gaming and every day use though.

Big fan of these low-priced Kingson SSDs to use as boot drives on older machines - the difference between this and a regular hard drive are night and day. I've bought about 4 of them over the last 1.5 years and they work beautifully for what I need.

This isn't the deal for you for state-of-the-art PC builds for gaming, but for injecting life into old desktops & laptops this is perfect.
