An ASA 5510 with the default Base license is limited to 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interfaces. If you have the upgraded Security Plus license, you get two interfaces bumped up to 1 Gbps. However the aggregated throughput of the appliance is only 300 Mbps. Note AGGREGATED i.e., not for a single flow.

in practical application, if you want to fully utilize your 400 Mbps circuit you should consider upgrading your platform (which has been end of sales for several years) to something like an ASA 5516-X.
