  • Se avete pensato di voler aggiornare un vostro sistema, desktop o mobile che sia, e volete partire dal disco fisso tradizionale per mettere al suo posto un modello SSD, allora Kingston potrebbe aver fatto centro grazie ad un prodotto dal costo relativa...

  • Disco veloce che pu essere facilmente installato all'interno del cabinet grazie alle staffe di supporto e a tutta la cavetteria necessaria offerta in bundle.
  • La capacità dell'SSD non ideale come storage di backup nonostante il software allegato. Nella configurazione di un pc desktop bisogna comunque prevedere un ulteriore hard disk dalla buona capacità e quindi un ulteriore esborso...

  • Haben wir beim Test des Intel 40GB SSDs dieses als zu teuer für die gebotene Leistung klassifiziert, müssen wir konsequent auch bei diesem Kingston 30GB SSD dieses Statement unterstreichen: Hier ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis gar noch ungünstiger. ...

  • Kingstons SSDNow V 30 GB gehört zu den günstigsten SSDs, die man kaufen kann und die wenigstens noch eine brauchbare Leistung bieten. Leider ist die Leistung auch entsprechend niedrig, zumindest beim Arbeiten mit kleinen Blöcken landet sie meistens auf...

  • Die neue Generation der SSDs bügelt einige Schwächen der Vorgänger aus und lässt vermuten, dass sich die Zeit der Festplatten dem Ende zuneigt. Bis dahin wird es aber noch dauern. Zunächst muss der Preis fallen und auch die divers...
