Digital camera reviews of Kingston SSDNow V Series 128 GB SATA 3 GB/s 2.5- Inch Solid State Drive with Notebook Upgrade Kit Bundle SNV425-S2BN/128GB
Digital camera Review: A nice SSD for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Seems like a fairly good drive - not to be confused with the previous generation Kingston SNV125, which most online reviews of the Kingston V series used. That drive apparently used a vasly inferior controller and suffered significant performance degradation over time.
Even without attempting to do any sort of alignment and using the enclosed Acronis software to clone my existing Windows 7, I seem to get very decent performance - read rates of over 200MB/sec, Write times 80-100MB/sec. XP seems to also perform well - apparently the controller implements self-heal/garabage colllection, but its not clear if this would work well on OSX/Linux. Boot times are noticeably faster, even on a relatively fresh windows install
When using Truecrypt Full Disk Encryption under XP, performance drops significantly - read rates 120-150MB/sec, write rates of 40-60MB/sec. Still, much faster than a magnetic drive, and I suspect all SSD drives will show much slower performance in this usage.
