Help with Kingston UV400!

Con_Verse

Hey everyone I hope you're okay and thanns for reading but I may be buying two Kingston uv400 ssds 480gb each, but I can't find that much useful information online could anyone give me some advice if these drives would be reliable and okay for gaming? I don't need really blistering fast speeds anything better than a hard drive will do, currently have an m.2 and a 4tb hard drive but I was wondering if the uv400 is a reliable solid option? Thank you

Is buying 2 cheaper than buying a single 1tb one?

Seems to be a good value, and there's that 3 year warranty, should be good.

I checked the read and write speeds, would you say these are OK, for an SSD? Thanks for the response 🙂

It'd be fine, you'd very unlikely notice any loading time or fps difference (if any). But for moving files, that is a different story.

Thank you so much! I don't really move files and huge projects and stuff all that much, I just will use it for gaming and just storing photos so It seems that is should be good, thank you so much once again

Wasn't my intention to necro this thread, but I had a UV480 GB myself. It was doing well until it conked out on me about 4 years later, not being detectable in UEFI/BIOS after a reboot. Hopefully your story turned out to be better.
