"Kingston V300 Upgrade kit - breathe new life into an ageing PC"
Solid State Drives Edited 4/8/15 Solid state disk (SSD) drives offer a lot of performance enhancements over conventional hard disks (HDD) and replacing an existing HDD with one will breathe new life into a sluggish system.
Pros:
- All you need to perform an easy upgrade to SSD at a good price
- Reputable/reliable manufacturer
Cons:
- Maxium size 480GB
- Not the fastest SSD but still much faster than a hard disk

I've bought about 50 120GB and maybe 10 240GB in last 2 years and I had trouble with none. Maybe there is faster models, but the performance is very good for the price. A core i5 can boot in about 27 seconds including Bios time.
Pros:
- Reliable and fast
Cons:
- None

Great price for the SSD, although not the best obviously
I would recommend this to people like me that do not need all that blazing speed. It really saves up my money so that I can spend it on things that can push more frames for me in games.
Pros:
- This SSD was a massive upgrade over my HDD - I did not realize how slow it was until I got this
- And to think this is one of the slower SSDs you can find - insane
- I don't need all that cutting edge performance because I just do regular stuff like browse the web, watch Twitch/YouTube, and game (not...
Cons:
- I had this SSD for a few months and it would intermittently cause the OS to freeze, especially when starting up a VM
- Upon searching I found that there was a firmware update for the SSD - 60AABBF0.

Good product; works
I have an old PC with an old drive and wanted to give it a bit more useful life at minimal dollars. This kit is good value and makes data migration simple. I gave it 4 stars on average simply because it's my first SSD and I don't personally have any perspective on whether it's better or worse than...

Kind of a let down
I was expecting the full read and write performance that it said on the box but I guess those were for the higher capacity drives because I know that the higher capacity the better the performance but I was still expecting somewhat closer to the advertise price.
Pros:
- Good GB to dollar price ratio -Boot up time with a Windows 8 64-bit OS is less than 2 seconds
Cons:
- -They advertise a sequential read and write of 450 mb/s but when doing crystal disk benchmark only got 160 mb/s for sequential read and 180 mb/s of sequential write
- Even if the drive was brand new and nothing much was installed except for the OS and only had 11% space being used.

Pros:
- Easy Installation
Cons:
- But A Bit Small On the Storage Side
