Kind of bottom of the barrel SSD drive (DRAMless, Phison S11) - most likely TLC (old school). Hardware is generally similar to the famous free Inland 240 SSD at Microcenter. Good enough for lower end applications at the price that has not been this low in many many months:

I feel otherwise about this drive, I feel the A400 is a high end drive and feels like a highend dtive when you use it. Im currently using an MX500 and it feels sluggish compared to the A400 I had previously. Also, Kingston has nice drive health software and Crucial, Hynix & Inland do not.

This drive is definitely low end specs. It uses the infamous rock bottom Phison S11 controller, with the well known "Satafirm S11" issue (if a flash chip decides to go south). Hopefully, Kingston buys good flash!
Once the SLC cache is saturated, the drive does ~70-100 Mb/s writes sustained.
To be honest, Crucial BX500 at 480Gb seems like better hardware

Hynix S31 is a beast! Top shelf material!
