Model overview based on user reviews  
The Kingston SSDNow UV400 is highly praised for its performance, with users noting that it significantly enhances computer speed, making systems feel much faster compared to traditional HDDs. Users appreciate the affordability of this SSD, especially given its decent size for system use. The product is described as well-made, with a textured finish that mimics more expensive models, although some users mention the absence of a logo and security features for authenticity verification. However, there are reports of installation issues, particularly when connecting via USB3.0, which required direct SATA connection for proper recognition. Despite this, the overall sentiment is positive, with many recommending the SSD for its impressive speed boost and value for money.

Just a beast!!
14 June 2016 
I always thought SSDs were cool but expensive. However, these days, spending a thousand isn't as painful as it used to be, so I finally decided to go for it. And let me tell you, an SSD isn't just "cool," it's absolutely amazing! No CPU or RAM upgrade will give you the same effect as moving your system from an HDD to an SSD, so I recommend it to everyone!
A beast of a disk! The computer just started flying!
No!

Made neatly, although it's light (apparently, it's quite empty inside), the textured finish imitates the pressed cases of more expensive models. Works quickly, didn't run benchmarks as I'm not interested - but visually, the computer runs as fast as on some top-notch Samsung for almost a grand, and not in hryvnias, my neighbor has - and these are not my words, but the words of my neighbor, quite surprised by this fact.
SSD for a grand - and in a decent size for the system - that's nice!
The hat logo is missing... And I didn't find a security feature to verify its authenticity.

a model with serious flaws
21 March 2018 
Preparing the SSD for shipment to the capital. They promised to refund the money.
Came quickly, light, silent
Inserted into the USB3.0 box, connected to the PC, drivers installed but the SSD icon did not appear on the "my computer" page. Connected the SSD directly to SATA, the icon did not appear.

Hard is better than hard

A 1TB HDD and a 240GB SSD cost about the same right now. And given the fast unlimited Internet (games, music and movies can be deleted without a drop of doubt and then downloaded again), the best choice now is a small-capacity, but reactively fast SSD. Compared to the HDD, it speeds up absolutely everything: loading the operating system, launching programs, opening files, and even friezes and FPS subsidence in games can be eliminated. Moreover, for the vast majority of users, even a low-cost SSD with a SATA interface and TLC memory, such as the Kingston SSDNow UV400, will be enough.

Made with the mind

The Kingston SSDNow UV400 is based on a smart Marvell 88SS1074 controller, 15nm Toshiba TLC flash memory (labeled as Kingston, but we recognized it right away) and Nanya DDR3 cache memory. Given the relatively rapid wear of TLC memory (only 1000 rewrite cycles), the controller is entrusted with the critical task of analyzing and sorting data, followed by cleaning up software garbage to extend the life of the SSD. The Marvell processor handles with this task perfectly.

double buffer

The smallest files (up to 256 MB) are placed in the first SSD buffer, which consists of RAM, for faster processing. Larger files (up to 4 GB) are placed in the second buffer - a virtual RAID array from flash memory. That's why files up to 4 GB are recorded at up to 490 Mbps, while larger files are recorded at only 100 Mbps. Given the specifics of TLC memory, we can recommend the Kingston SSDNow UV400 to those who are looking for the cheapest SSD, but do not plan to operate it around the clock.
