Kingston UV400

[JacobKS]

I just want to know your thoughts regarding the UV400 SSDs from Kingston, are they reliable? Their 480gb SSD is one of the cheapest,

I have the UV400 240gb on my testbench and its great.

I have had it for about half a year, and its been flawless.

I highly recommend it for the price

Do you think that it is quite durable like the WD Caviar Blue  or Black? or should I get the Samsung 850 EVO I've seen a lot of good reviews on this one? I'm planning to buy the 480gb version.

The WD Caviar blue and black are mechanical drives, so any decent quality ssd like the UV400 or the 850 EVO will be much more durable and reliable. If you have the budget for an 850EVO, get that, but the UV400 is still a great drive

Thanks, I thought HDDs are much more durable than SSDs. I'll think about the UV400.

SSD are much more durable than HDDs becuase they dont have any moving parts. HDDs have moving part that can fail and go wrong.

How long do you think this UV400 will last? I'm just scared that it might fail for some reason but I never experienced that my storage fail, my friends does hahaha.

According to Kingston, the 480GB can write 200TB of data before it dies, if you write 50GB a day, in a year you would have written about 18TB, so you should expect a long lifespan, after the SSD dies, you probably won't have any of your data corrupted, but the write speeds will be slower than a ultra cheap SD card, anyway, you should always have your data in an external drive
