Kingston SSDNow V+ review

 

Kingston's SSDNow V+ SSD comes with a comprehensive accessory bundle, but its performance is less extraordinary.

The Kingston SSDNow V+'s results aren’t bad, but better drives are available for the same kind of money. The inclusion of a drive caddy and software are attractive, but when paying this much we’d rather take the faster drive - and one capable of...

Kingston SSD Now V 128GB

 

It could be quicker - but it could be a lot more expensive. Kingston's SSD strikes a nice balance between the two.

Kingston has struck a clever balance between price and performance with the SSDNow V Series and we guarantee that it will transform your laptop.

Kingston SSDNow V+

 

It seemed like déjà vu to us, too—didn't we review a Kingston SSDNow V+ as recently as December? Turns out we're not crazy (at least in this respect); that was the first-generation SSDNow V+, built on the same Samsung controller as the Corsair P256....

TRIM support; fast reads and writes; included upgrade and connectivity kit; competitive pricing

Not world-changing; random-access times lag behind Indilinx and Intel controllers

The second-gen Kingston SSDNow V+ is a strong performer and it gets brownie points for the included upgrade kit, as well as native TRIM support. It doesn’t offer a huge jump in performance, but users won’t be disappointed. And it’s less expensive than...

Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 128GB

 

The SSDNow V+ Series desktop kit retails for US $371 or $2.89 per gigabyte. Luckily there's performance to back this price up

Kingston's brilliant 128GB SSDNow V+ offers a simple, straightforward upgrade path to lightning quick performance.

Review: Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB SSD

 

The SSDNow V+ offers decent performance, comparable price and only a modest decrease in read speeds over time.

We installed the SSDNow V+ into an easily upgradeable, late 2008 Unibody MacBook with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of RAM, and ran a series of tests on the MacBook’s internal 5400-rpm, 2.5-inch Toshiba hard drive to serve as a baseline before...

Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB Solid State Drive Review

 

A little while ago we took a look at Kingston's SSDNow V-Series 128GB solid state drive that was targeted at entry-level and mainstream users. Kingston had put

– Far better write improvement over the original V+ Series drives ; – Windows 7 TRIM support ; – Available in up to 512GB capacities

– None that I found

As we have stated earlier in the review this is an update to the already released V+ Series solid state drives form Kingston, a second-generation. So what really is new about these drives? Probably the most important thing that sticks out to most...

Kingston has been selling SSD units based on Intel's 'mainstream' and enterprise class drive kits but the newer V series is Kingston's own internal design optimized for value.
