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.

As the SSD market gradually comes to grips with lower prices, greater popularity and higher performance metrics, the new Kingston SSDNow V300 represents an intriguing blend of possibilities for first time SSD buyers.

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.

Since Kingston introduced the V series of drives a few years ago, the V has always stood for Value and this by all means stands true to this drive. The V300 is the fastest V series drive that we have seen to date (as one would expect) and along with a comprehensive bundle & competitive price tag,...

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

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

Consumers are looking for larger SSDs at lower price points and it seems the NAND manufacturers (Intel, Micron, etc) are dragging their heals on...

Good pricing: as affordable as SSDs come; LSI Sandforce Controller; 19nm Toshiba NAND; Respectable price-performance; Great Desktop and Laptop Upgrade Kit bundles; Acronis software and support

Waiting for larger capacities; 4K data block could be better

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.

Fast and comes with extras to mount the drive both Internally & Externally

Would've been better if the external I/F was USB 3.0

I did not realise, but this item also includes a USB enclosure. You can put the SSD in the enclosure and use as a portable USB hard drive. You also get a USB cable to go with it. The build quality of this package is superb and with Windows 8.1 now running on this SSD the speed is excellent.

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.
