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.

Great Speed For A Decent Price

I bought this drive mainly to serve as an operating system drive. I bought it after doing a bit of research and just wondering really how much faster...

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

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...

Fast Boot time

HDD drive failure so decided to go with a SSD. Easy to setup. Cloning software was included, but I was unable to use due to HDD failure, but did try it after, very good product. Buying the kit would be the easy way to go. SSD has decreased boot up times to less than 45 seconds.

Be sure to research the reviews before purchasing

Kingston changed the internal components they are currently shipping in this product to lower quality ones without changing the product name. I have one of the early one that is really fast but this newer version I bought is MUCH slower.

Very poor speeds

I was suckered in by the bargain offer price, but upon testing I'm only getting write speeds of around 22mb/s and read speeds of 370mb/s. My 2 year old Plextor is still getting 450 writes and 520 reads. It's cheap, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. That isn't a typo, 22mb/s write speed.
