One of the biggest surprises we learned at CES 2011 was that Kingston had joined Team SandForce for the SF-2000 Series of products. After CES we learned from Digitimes that Kingston was also moving to acquire a larger stake of controller manufacturer JMicron at the same time. Kingston has been gaining attention for their solid state drive products for the last two years and slowly gaining market share. The recent maneuvers will allow Kingston to continue building upon their successes and become an even larger player in the global solid state drive market.
Kingston has rolled out their SSDNow V+100 SSD series which they claim is 25% faster than its predecessor even though it utilizes the same Toshiba controller. This drive has TRIM support for Windows 7 users and 'always-on' garbage collection for those running older operating systems like Windows Vista and XP. Check out the article to see how the SSDNow V+100 does in both synthetic and real world benchmarks!
Early on in their debut, Solid State Drives were planned as included equipment on new computers coming from tier one manufacturers such as Dell, HP, and Apple. In one way or another they made good on their word, but the inflated price for these premium options made SSDs a distant reality. This situation created the perfect condition for a enthusiastic upgrade market. Not surprisingly, manufacturers went after the individual consumer after losing traction with mass system builders, and upgrade kits became the obvious solution for many enthusiasts. Kingston is well known for manufacturing their own memory products, but when it came to the new SSD technology they turned to proven sources such as Samsung. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 64GB SATA-II MLC SSD SNV225-S2/64GB.
Kingston have quite a few product ranges in their SSD catalogue including the V+ series which come in a variety of sizes, including the 64GB version that we're looking at today. According to every type of branding and marketing they are classed as a performance upgrade kit. Products that appear in Kingston's catalogue include SSDs aimed at servers, corporate environments and of course consumers and remember Kingston also make memory as well.
SSD’s are finally getting a firm grip within the market, helped in part by dropping prices and increasing capacities. If you have been holding off on upgrading then perhaps today we can change your mind. We would go so far as to say that from our experience, adding an SSD as a boot drive to a system is one of the best upgrades you could make.
It is always interesting when a new controller steps into the market for SSDs and today we are looking at the Kingston SSDNow V+ Series with the new Toshiba T6UG1XBG drive controller. Will this new controller be a step up or another JMicron disaster? Read on to find out.
The Performance Upgrade Kit is a great way to purchase the Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 128GB SSD. Not only do you get the drive, but you get an external enclosure, mounting rails, and additional cables to allow you to connect your new SSD to just about any system. You might not need all of these extras, but for the difference in price you might as well get the bundle.
Today we will look at the SSDNow V+ 128 GB solid-state drive model which is advertised to run at 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write speeds. These are some pretty impressive numbers for most any type of drive medium. According to Kingston "the new SSDNow V+ is an ideal solid-state drive for high-level consumers and in corporate environments where efficiency and performance are important as more system resources are in use. The second generation of the V+ series offers four capacities ranging from 64 GB to 512 GB. Additional features includes faster performance, a switch from the Intel controller to a Toshiba one and Windows 7 TRIM support.
Der Markt der Solid State Disks schien in den letzten Monaten zu explodieren und drohte ab einen gewissen Zeitpunkt, schon wieder an sich selbst zu ersticken. Zwar wird die Art dieser Datenträger immer erschwinglicher, was aber meist auch auf Kosten der Geschwindigkeit geschieht. Für wirklich pfeilschnelle Modelle muss aktuell immer noch tief in die Tasche gegriffen werden. Dies hat sich der Kingston, ein Speicherhersteller der ersten Stunde, zum Anlass genommen, ein attraktives Modell auf den Markt zu bringen. Die neue V+ 200 Serie kommt mit einem SandForce SF-2200 Controller daher und bietet nicht weniger Leistung, als eine teurere HyperX SSD. Wie sich der vermeintliche Budget-Ablege im Praxisschlug, klärt der nachfolgende Bericht.
Kingston is fully embracing SandForce and the most impressive controller at this time is getting the top to bottom treatment.
