Conclusion

Announcement: Despite the circumstance that the rating of a product is based on as many objective facts as possible there are factors which can have an influence on a rating after publication. Every autor may perceive data differently over time whereas one possible reason for example is a deeper background knowledge or understanding of certain processes. Certain unforseen market conditions as well as changes have the potential to render a descision made at a certain point in time obsolete.

With the V+200, Kingston has a 90 Gigabyte SSD in its portfolio that come with quite a competitive level of performance. The fact that the drive has been equipped with a SandForce SF-2281 controller already suggests that it might be fast. At the end of the day you get 21'000 IOPS when doing 4k reads and 64'000 IOPS when performing 4k writes. Therefore the V+200 really is a quick drive.

A closer look at the sequential thoughput rates reveals that the asynchronous NAND flash has an impact. Regarding sequential reads we se a maximum value of 510 Megabyte per second. Concerning sequential writes the drive tops out at 502 Megabyte per seconds. These values quite good for a Solid State Drive that uses ansynchronous NAND Flash. 

Last but not least there is the price: the 90 Gigabyte V+200 costs about CHF 155.- (est EUR 129.-). The fact that you also get a good bundle with this drive, really makes it worth its price.

The Kingston V+200 90 GB SSD receives good four out of five stars.
