  • The Kingston SSDNow V300 is a very solid drive. If it wasn't labeled as a budget drive many would not have known. The Read performance is well enough to be a great source for a machine that is heavy in media file for streaming to various other devices. In...

  • Abstract:  Kingston V300: At last, Sandforce for the Value series The folks at Kingston have long shunned SandForce controllers in their Value SSD series. SSDNow V100 didn’t have one, because it was reserved only for the most expensive models back at the time. Wh...

  • For the capacities of 60GB and 120GB Kingston has managed to deliver a value-oriented SSD that will hold the TLC NAND sharks at bay. The test pool that we placed the 120GB Kingston SSDNow V300 into was definitely weighted against this value offering, yet...
