Kingston SSDNow V Series 30G Twin-Pack Review

Fast, secure and stable are just a few things the new Kingston TwinPack 30GB SSDNow brings to the table.

From a pure storage point of view one or even two Kingston 30GB SSDNow V drives is not adequate for the standalone user with no other drives in their system. From the enthusiast point of view, however, two of these drives in RAID 0 Mode are fast, very...

Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive

Huge system speed boost for only $90.

The Kingston SSDNow V-Series 30GB Solid State Drive is a bit of an interesting animal. It continues in the confusing trend of having different internal architectures and successive technologies each sharing the same V moniker in Kingston's SSD lineup....

Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB SNV125-S2BD/30GB

Kingston has scrapped the 40GB model in favor of a new 30GB product supporting TRIM and garbage collection. It is a worthy upgrade to the original boot drive.

By the time this review is posted, the drive will be available from a few different stores. You can check Amazon and Newegg right now to get a great deal on this just released product. While we think it is an excellent deal at the MSRP of $125 ($110 if...

Kingston SSDNow V-Series 30GB Solid State Boot Drive Review

Upgrading from a normal hard drive to a solid state drive can be quite expensive and for most people it really does not make that much sense. Solid state

– Great price for people to get their hands on a SSD ; – Performs as advertised ; – The desktop bundle has everything you need to install the drive ; – Supports Windows 7 TRIM

– None that I found

The biggest thing that is holding many people back from getting solid state drives is the cost. No one wants to spend $700 for a 256GB solid state drive when you can get 1TB SATA drive for around $100. There is such an increase in speed when it comes...
