  • The Kingston SSDVNow SSD enters the market as the first SSD to use new Toshiba 19nm Toggle mode DDR memory paired with the SandForce SF-2281 FSP.  We are curious as to how many similar SSDs we may see introduced in the future for two reasons as the SF-228...

  • Abstract:  We have in our labs Kingston's latest solid-state drives (SSDs) for PCs and laptops, the SSDNow V300 Series. Designed to replace the existing SSDNow V200 models, the V300 should offer sequential read and write speeds of around 450MB/s - somewhere betwe...

  • Kingston’s V300 240GB has something for everyone. First time buyers will appreciate its dollar per GB ratio and PC veterans won’t help but be impressed by its benchmark results. It’s been a long time since we’ve come across an SSD which balances its st...

  • Ahh, biased figures. I am rather tempted to say that the Kingston SSDNow V300 120GFB is slow, because it is rated at 'only' 450MB/s read, 450MB/s write, and 85,000 IOPS by the manufacturer -- but what gives? As I have mentioned earlier in the introduction...

  • Kingston’s V-series SSDs have a long history of offering competitively priced solutions which tend to punch above their weight class on the performance front. This has endeared them to enthusiasts and novices alike since relatively low pricing and outs...

  • Faster than specifications, Available in kit form, Low cost, Small 7mm form factor, Threeyear warranty
  • Not the fastest drive
  • One thing that is obvious right off the bat is that this drive is not meant to be the fastest drive on the block but to offer a gateway into the world of SSD ownership without blowing up the system budget. When the performance of the V300 120GB is compare...

  • The Kingston V300 128GB is an odd drive in a category where we want to find consistency. The V300 128GB has some good points, some bad points and some points we really can't explain. The drive is different from most LSI SandForce SF-2281 products we'...

  • Now that the prices of SSDs are starting to fall again, the competition is starting to take off again. Especially the new models from Crucial and Samsung bring some life back to the business, which was badly needed in this market. Last year there were few...

  • You can consider yourself lucky if you purchased an SSD last year. Since then not a lot has happened when it comes to the performance, while the prices have gone up. However, using a hard drive as boot disk is not necessary at all - there are more than en...
