Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD Review
As is typical for the SandForce (LSI) drives, the Kingston V300 120GB drive has ~7% overprovisioning that offers the user 111GB of usable space. If you were to purchase the 240Gb version, you'd find yourself with 223GB.

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB Solid State Drive
The Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB solid state drive covered in this review has a respectable capacity of 120GB. Although marketed as a "notebook bundle kit," this SSD will perform just the same in either a desktop or notebook environment.
Pros:
- With compressible data this drive exceeded its rated read and write transfer speeds by 50MB/s
- Win7 loading time of 23 seconds with an overclocked i5 2500k
- Fair pricing
- at less than $1/GB
- Included Acronis disk cloning software is very effective and simple to use
Cons:
- Poor
- but expected sequential read/write performance with incompressible data

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...

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?

Kingston SSDNow V300 128GB Solid State Drive Review
The newest of the series will be the V300 which is now offered in 60GB, 120GB and the largest 240GB sizes. The heart of the drive is a LSI SandForce controller and new 19mm NAND modules all optimized for Kingston. But is it enough to top one of our favorites? We will soon see.

Kingston SSDNow V300 (120GB & 240GB) Review
I have one issue with the V300: There's nothing particular in it that would differentiate it from the other SandForce based SSDs. While Kingston said they did lots of customization and worked closely with SandForce/LSI, at least in our testing there aren't any striking differences.

Kingston SSDNow V300 (120GB) Solid State Drive Review
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.
