Kingston have began to use a SandForce controller on these SSD's and that results in excellent reliability. They are the most reliable and amongst the fastest SSDs FOR THE PRICE. If you want more speed then the SAMSUNG 850 Pro are outstanding, but significantly more expensive.
Happy with purchase. Speedy delivery and easy transaction. Will use site again and would recommend.
Works perfectly with macbooks pro Late 11 and on... Now my mac is running faster than ever!
Product works well but way overpriced for what I found at other local stores.
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.
Good GB to dollar price ratio -Boot up time with a Windows 8 64-bit OS is less than 2 seconds
-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.
As the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products, Kingston Technology doesn't need much of an introduction. The company got its start in 1987, when the computer industry was suffering from a severe shortage of surface-mount memory chips.
Available in 60GB; 120GB and 240GB capacities; SandForce SF-2281 processor; Toggle Mode NAND flash; Excellent sequential read and write speeds; SATA 6Gb/s interface; Supports SMART; TRIM and Garbage Collection; Available as stand-alone drive or as part of an upgrade kit; Well constructed design,
Not as fast when writing incompressible data
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.
» 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
» Poor; but expected sequential read/write performance with incompressible data
We have seem over the past year or so that the SSDNow series is aimed that the budget consumer. The one that wants the core essentials of a solid state drive without having to pay out the nose for it, this series from Kingston has been just that.
Upgrading to a Solid State Disk or SSD is one of the best performance enhancing upgrades that one can do to their PC. SSDs allow almost instant access to the stored data thanks to extremely low access times as well as high transfer rates.
