Kingston A400, V300 and KC600 SATA SSD recovery
The Kingston A400 is one of the most common budget SSDs in laptops and office PCs. We recover data from A400, V300, UV-series and KC600 drives.
About Kingston SATA SSD (V300–KC600)
The SSDNow V300 was criticised in 2014 when later production changed to slower flash, and the budget A400 has since become a mass-market drive fitted in huge numbers of laptops. Like most DRAM-less budget drives, the A400 can fail suddenly after power problems, usually leaving the data intact on the flash.

Frequently asked questions
My A400 suddenly vanished. Can you recover it?
Usually yes. Sudden disappearance is typically a controller fault, and the flash is often readable.
Is the KC600 encrypted?
It supports self-encrypting features, but data is only locked if encryption was set up. We check at evaluation.
What happens after I send the drive in?
We carry out a professional evaluation (£94.80), then send you a fixed quote and a list of recoverable files before any recovery work is charged.
