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

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

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB Solid State Drive
Ahh, biased figures. I am rather tempted to say that the Kingston SSDNow V300 120GFB is slow, because it is rated at 'only' 450MB/s read, 450MB/s write, and 85,000 IOPS by the manufacturer -- but what gives?

The 120GB Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S3D7 internal solid-state drive (SSD) is priced to appeal to ordinary consumers but with performance that sat at the top of the enthusiasts market not so long ago.
Pros:
- Great price/performance ratio
- Priced well below $1 per GB
Cons:
- Older SF-2181 loses speed in random read/writes
- or when working with uncompressed data

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB review
This must be a frustrating time for any manufacturer producing SSDs with the SandForce controller. You're sat waiting for the next generation of controller while Marvell, OCZ and Samsung gleefully launch their own to entice the market.

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD Review
The Kingston SSDNow V300 is yet another value-oriented SSD in Kingston's wildly successful line of mainstream solid state drives. With the pressures of TLC SSDs squeezing the value market we take a look and see if a standard MLC SSD with 19nm Toshiba Toggle NAND and an SF-2281 processor can keep up...
