The Kingston V+ is keenly priced, has a lengthy warranty and performs well in all our performance tests. The key issue is the lack of updates from Samsung for the drive controller, which has at least one major bug. Samsung has left its drive controller...
Abstract: Solid State Drives (SSDs) are starting to see price drops into the "reasonable" realm, though they havent quite hit mainstream levels for widespread adoption just yet. SSDs still remain rather expensive overall, but the performance increases are a ver...
