The A400 series particularly gained traction with consumers because it delivered a noticeable difference in boot times and data transfer compared to mechanical hard drives. With read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s respectively, it breathed new life into millions of laptops and desktops worldwide.
Tony Hollingsbee, SSD Business Manager at Kingston EMEA, said in connection with the anniversary:
"Kingston remains dedicated to delivering products that combine performance, quality and reliability. The widespread adoption and positive reception of the A400 SATA SSD demonstrates Kingston's ability to meet the evolving storage needs of a wide range of users."
While the A400 series remains one of the best-selling SATA drives, Kingston is now looking more towards the future of technology. The success of the A400 serves as a springboard for their newer ventures into blazing-fast NVMe solutions, data center and industrial SSD solutions to address the increasing demands of modern computing.
