Today we are going to look into the performance of yet another entry level SSD. This trend, to offer entry level products, is very strong now and since TLC NAND is readily available, almost every manufacturer out has one of these cost effect drives in their portfolio. While these SSDs aren't the top performing devices enthusiasts love, they offer significantly better performance than HDDs in most scenarios and are much more reliable and more durable, making them ideal for use in notebooks and other mobile devices.

Because of this, Kingston has always had products to fulfill this market segment under their SSDNow series and now the UV400 is the latest addition to this SSD product line. It is also their second TLC SSD in the market, following the UV300. It currently utilizes Toshiba 15nm TLC NAND and a 4-channel Marvell 88SS1074 controller to deliver speeds of up to 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write and is available in a variety of capacities to suit any individual's needs. With competitively low prices, an upgrade kit bundle option, and what looks to be some decent specs, let's see how the Kingston SSDNow UV400 does when we put it to the test in today's review shall we?
