Kingston SSDNow V300 Solid State Drive Review: SandForce with New Fixings
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...

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.

The Kingston V300 128GB is an odd drive in a category where we want to find consistency. The V300 128GB has some good points, some bad points and some points we really can't explain. The drive is different from most LSI SandForce SF-2281 products we've tested.

Kingston V300 240GB
Another in the list of SandForce SSDs is the latest from Kingston, the SSDNow V300. It's not entirely different in most regards, but it does have Toshiba Toggle NAND and exclusive input from LSI directly to tweak the controller's performance.
Pros:
- Faster speeds than specification
- robust accessory package
- competitive price
- customized controller by LSI
Cons:
- SandForce 2281 struggles with incompressible data
- not fastest SSD on the market

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

No disappointment
Among somewhat less exotic offerings, I was lucky enough to get sent this item to try and keep, by Amazon. It is currently priced at ￡78. Solid state drives, which, in case you were wondering, unlike traditional hard drives have no moving mechanical parts, have been decreasing in price of late and I...

My best upgrade in a while
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.

v for Very Fast
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.
