Kingston SSD Now Série V (SNV125-S2) - 30 Go

AnandTech
"Kingston's answer to the X25-V is very interesting. You do give up another 10GB of space compared to the Intel drive for a formatted capacity of around 28GB, but in exchange you get better sequential write performance. "

"The Kingston drive offers a respectable read speed (180MB/s sequential, max), while the write speeds are less than impressive (50MB/s sequential, max). The thinking is that read applications are far more typical in day-to-day usage, so if something had to be sacrificed in the name of saving money, that it should be write performance. While you can see the impact this degraded write performance has on the drive when compared to other SSDs, when compared to a traditional hard drive, this Kingston SSD dominates."

"While the Intel drive used for comparison purposes was able to beat the Kingston drive in pure read speeds, in real world testing that doesn't necessarily mean it is much faster. In boot times, the Intel drive was half a second faster than the drive from Kingston."

"However for less than twice the price you get morethan twice the SSD with the Crucial C300 64GB. It's not often that we can make that statement - you don't get over twice the gaming performance from adding a second graphics card or a doubling the number of CPU cores, for example."

"Enfin, nous avons notre petit RAID 0 de V-Series 30 Go. Et comme assez souvent, les performances ne sont pas aussi bonnes que ce que nous attendions, avec des débits peu stables et des temps d'accès qui augmentent. Bref, une solution que nous ne conseillons pas."

"En effet, il semble hors de question de le placer dans une machine performante afin de remplacer un HDD de dernière génération. Par contre, dans un netbook, ou un portable équipé d'un HDD 5400 trs anémique pourquoi pas. A vous les joies des accès presque instantanés et du boot plus rapide. "

"While not a pure benchmark winner, what counts is that you will notice a huge improvement in the overall speed of your computer. It is very hard to quantify this by benchmarking alone, but the stopwatch tests prove it."

Legit Reviews
"For those looking to get an SSD but can’t afford the $4+/GB prices of most drives, the Kingston 30GB V Series boot drive is an attractive option due to its pricing which trumps the lackluster writes. You won’t see the performance of the more expensive drives but it should be an overall improvement over most hard drives and won't empty your bank account in the process."

"It is an affordable solid state upgrade for notebooks, keeping data safe from the dangers of shocks and vibration. In desktops, it's a good alternative to the Western Digital VelociRaptors, if you don't mind using it only to run the operating system and applications. However, if you are looking for better-than-VelociRaptor performance, take a look at the Kingston SSDNow V+ series instead."

"All of this begs the question of how it performs out of the box. Kingston claims peak read and write performance of 180MB/s and 50MB/s. That compares well with Intel's 40GB value drive, the X25-V, which is rated at 175MB/s and 35MB/s respectively. What's more, the Intel drive costs an extra £30."

Tests Freaks
"Sure the write speeds aren’t the fastest, and if that’s one of your complaints then you’re not truly understanding the point of this product. It’s not meant to be a drive that is written to, it’s meant as a read of load drive to speed up your operating system."

"I really like that Kingston is trying to get solid state drives in the hands of more people. The desktop bundle makes things easier because it comes with everything you need to mount the drive in your current system."
