The Kingston SSDNow V+200 kit provides a no-nonsense—and almost too no-frills—way to upgrade your spinning drives to SSD speed.

Both units test A-OK.
Well that above word "both" is indeed odd when you only order ONE!!!

Great solution for operating system and for heavy load software such as Adobe Suite Collection.
