Conclusion: 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.
Conclusion: For the average user who wants to get a good bang for their buck the Kingston SSDNow V+ Series SSD offers solid mid-range performance for a reasonable price.
Pros: Offered with an optional kit to assist with upgrading from an old hard disk drive (adds roughly $20 to purchase price), Rugged construction, Low power consumption
Pros: System Is Snappier, Fantastic RAID Like Speed, Quiet, Never Gets Hot, Standard SATA Interface, Easy To Hide In The Chassis, Did We Mention Fast Really Fast
Cons: Price Still Higher Than Traditional Platter Drives
Conclusion: One of the knocks about Kingston SSDs has been the lack of Windows 7 TRIM support; thankfully Kingston has put this issue to rest as the SSD saving technology is now
Pros: +Windows 7 TRIM support, +Four size capacities, +Works with either Desktop or Laptop configurations
Summary: We’ve also moved to Windows 7 for all of our benchmarks, which tends to give slightly lower sustained speeds in our benchmarks than does Windows XP.
Pros: TRIM support; fast reads and writes; included upgrade and connectivity kit; competitive pricing.
Cons: Not world-changing; random-access times lag behind Indilinx and Intel controllers.
