Frankly speaking, we are rather wary of SandForce-based SSDs. Besides their past firmware flaws which took a lot of time to be corrected, we don't like their susceptibility to performance degradation due to imperfect TRIM implementation whereas their on-the-fly data compression is only good from the...

The drive is available at RM 299 but it doesn't come with an installation kit, and yet it costs more than the Intel 330 series of the same size that comes with an installation kit (RM 269)! I didn't buy an Intel 330 series because I already have one, so I thought to give Kingston's drive a spin.

Upgrading to a Solid State Disk or SSD is one of the best performance enhancing upgrades that one can do to their PC. SSDs allow almost instant access to the stored data thanks to extremely low access times as well as high transfer rates.

A solid state drive is probably the best upgrade you can add to your system should you still have a HDD. As you might expect, Windows loads in a fraction of the time, but apps open more quickly, big applications that need to page the drive perform better, etc. Across the board excellent boost.

This is a great little drive, it's very fast reducing load times of everything, and with 120GB it can easily be your boot drive with all your apps added, and maybe 10GB-20GB put aside for work.

now boot up 7 sec. before almost 30 sec is 4x more fast

This makes a great drive for building a fast booting computer. Has room enough for Windows, Office, and most applications (but games). Documents, files, pictures will have to find room elsewhere, there's just not enough room for everything.

Fast; really silent

No room for data

I think this is a good buy if youre looking for a SSD.

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.

Without Acronis, which seems to come with other Kingston SSDs. How can I transfer Win7 from the main drive to the new SSD drive.? Can I shrink the Win7 partition to the size of the SSD, back up and restore Win7 using "Redobackup" to move Win7 to the new drive?? We shall see.

Installed as a 2nd drive in an HP HDX18 laptop running Win7 and WinXP; So far after initializing and formating, the system sees it.

No Acronis software included; included instructions lacking
