How can I tell if my Kingston A400 is genuine or counterfeit?
Asked by

I recently purchased a Kingston A400 SSD, but I'm concerned that it might not be genuine. It's not appearing in the official Kingston app, which raised some red flags for me. I've attached images that show its details: the firmware in CrystalDiskInfo, the front of the packaging, and the back. Can anyone help me verify if this drive is legit?

It looks like the firmware version (W02200A0) you found is associated with counterfeit drives. That’s a major red flag! You can check the genuine firmware history on Kingston's official site to compare.
