Kingston SSDNow V300 Solid State Drive Review: SandForce with New Fixings
You may have the impression that solid state drives on LSI SF-2281 controller have already been studied and tested inside out. However, Kingston managed to come up with a product that turned out genuinely surprising in the most positive way.

Good
Really easy to install in a desktop, it comes with all the necessary hardware to do so. Didn't use to clone my existing disk just to dual boot Linux and Windows and it does the job perfectly. There are fastest SSD in the market nowadays but for the price is worth it.

"Kingston V300 Upgrade kit - breathe new life into an ageing PC"
Solid State Drives Edited 4/8/15 Solid state disk (SSD) drives offer a lot of performance enhancements over conventional hard disks (HDD) and replacing an existing HDD with one will breathe new life into a sluggish system.
Pros:
- All you need to perform an easy upgrade to SSD at a good price
- Reputable/reliable manufacturer
Cons:
- Maxium size 480GB
- Not the fastest SSD but still much faster than a hard disk

Just as you rise you shall fall because the only guarantees in life are death and taxes. The LSI SandForce SF-2281 has reached middle age and like every mid-life crisis, things are starting to change.

Kind of a let down
I was expecting the full read and write performance that it said on the box but I guess those were for the higher capacity drives because I know that the higher capacity the better the performance but I was still expecting somewhat closer to the advertise price.
Pros:
- Good GB to dollar price ratio -Boot up time with a Windows 8 64-bit OS is less than 2 seconds
Cons:
- -They advertise a sequential read and write of 450 mb/s but when doing crystal disk benchmark only got 160 mb/s for sequential read and 180 mb/s of sequential write
- Even if the drive was brand new and nothing much was installed except for the OS and only had 11% space being used.

Great value with lots of accessories
The drive, like other SSD's, is fast & quiet. The capacity is small in today's standards, but that's fine for my application. It came with everything that is needed to mount internally AND externally -- mounting brackets USB2.0 external enclosure and cable.
Pros:
- Fast and comes with extras to mount the drive both Internally & Externally
Cons:
- Would've been better if the external I/F was USB 3.0
