It’s our opinion that the new SSD generation has definitely brought new improvements, as well as made us change our perspective from the narrow-minded sequential read/write evaluation. The prices of the new models are very close to those from the previous generation, so if you’re already decidedly for buying a new SSD now, you might as well...

Kingston has put out several models of SSD's now and their most recent release are is the SSDNOW V+100 series available in 64GB, 96GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities. If this naming convention sounds familiar, you'd be correct as they had an earl...
The Kingston V+100 128GB SSD is a much improved version of the V+ drives of an earlier generation and rivals the performance of others in its class. Bundled with a very generous set of accessories and "always on" garbage collection, Kingston has done...

I'm not sure what it is about SSD manufacturers and overly complicated product stacks. Kingston has no less than six different SSD brands in its lineup. The E Series, M Series, SSDNow V 100, SSDNow V+ 100, SSDNow V+ 100E and SSDNow V+ 180. The E and M...
Kingston, like many of its competitors, desperately needs a simplified product lineup. On the one hand, Kingston has hedged its bets. With three different controller makers supplying hardware for its six SSDs, Kingston can't go wrong. However, the Toshiba...

A couple of weekends ago, I spent some time cleaning up my OS SSD in order to make room for some large benchmarking files I needed. After running Windows' Disk Cleanup tool, and making sure there were no gargantuan files or folders in my Users folder...

Kingston has been selling SSDs since 2008. Their first drives were rebranded Intel X-25s, and since them we've also seen JMicron and Samsung controllers in their lineup. The SSDNow V+100 uses a Toshiba controller that's not entirely new - Kingston has...
The Kingston SSDNow V+100 is a tough sell. It does exceptionally well in sequential write performance and decently enough when it comes to reads. However, the drive is left behind in random write performance, which is important for a system drive. In i...

Sometimes things just have a natural progression in the world of manufacturing and industry. It would make sense that Standard Oil would become the manufacturer of Vaseline and other petroleum based products for a time, even though Vaseline is far from...

The Kingston SSDNow V+100 96GB is a very interesting drive. The V+100 absolutely crushes the reference enterprise class WD RE3 7200rpm in every benchmark and will go toe to toe with the Sandforce 1200 drives. The benchmark numbers are easy enough to re...

With SSD prices dropping (at least for the low/mid performance drives) this is one of the best moments for someone to get one and use it as a boot drive. Of course we have a very long way ahead of us for people to start using solid state drives...

The Kingston V+100 series proved to be a worthy opponent for the top SSDs of the previous generation by managing to match and even outperform the SandForce based Phoenix Pro SSD by GSkill. Of course the latest SSD generation is much faster than t...

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 manufactu...
The Kingston, Toshiba, JMicron partnership triangle is starting to produce some exciting products with good feature sets, but the SSDNow V+100 is still well behind current and upcoming products from SandForce and Marvell. With SandForce's recent ann...

In every sense of the word, the 96GB Kingston SSDNow V+100 is a “midrange” SSD. Positioned as an entry-tier enterprise class drive in Kingston’s SSD catalog, the drive’s oddball 96GB capacity puts it squarely between the more common 64GB and 128GB sol...

In the end, we put the somewhat awkwardly sized 96GB Kingston SSDNow V+100 up against some of the fastest SSDs we’ve tested. Given this, for a drive at this price point ($190 street), anything more than mediocre relative performance among such serious...
