Features and Benefits

Kingston's SSDNow V+200 combines exceptional quality and performance with an affordable price. It is driven by a second generation Sandforce controller for best in class sequential read/write speeds and is a great way to dramatically improve the performance of your desktop or notebook.
  • Fast: Increased speeds for enhanced productivity, gain the benefits from increased boot up time, fast application load-up and faster internet browsing.
  • Reliable: With no moving parts in an SSD, it is less likely to fail compared to a Hard Disk Drive. Therefore dropping or banging your notebook means you are less likely to lose your data.

  • Built for endurance: An SSD has a longer life span than a traditional Hard Disk Drive due to Data Integrity Protection technology and superior shock resistance.
  • Secure: V+200 is a self-encrypting drive (128-bit AES); this means that you can set up extra security to protect your data.
  • Silent: Your notebook or desktop will run cooler and quieter with a Kingston SSD. SSDs have no moving parts which reduces background noise and heat of your notebook or desktop compared with a traditional Hard Disk Drive.
  • Guaranteed: Three-year warranty with free technical support.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value for money. 30 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Very simply, the drive is only limited by the host controller.

Sata2 via motherboard / pci express (x1 lane) expect:
280 MB/s read / 240 MB/s write

Sata3 via Marvell 9128 (often the sata3 controller of choice on x58 and below motherboards or standalone cards) expect:
300 - 380 MB/s read / 250 - 300 MB/s write

Sata3 via Intel southbridge on ?67 or ?77 Sandybridge chipset or greater expect:
Advertised speeds of 500+ MB/s read 480 MB/s write

The real world performance of using the drive on a sata2 or sata3 controller is barely perceivable. Don't worry if you don't have the latest and greatest chipset, you're still getting amazing performance and the 4k read / write are superior to sata2 generation ssd's.

If you're upgrading from a traditional mechanical expected to be "wow'd" in terms of speed, you'll never want to go back and use a painfully slow hdd again.

My drive shipped with the latest firmware (purchased late May 2012) so no updating on my part required. Boot times for me are academic, it's more the ability to launch my favourite applications within a few seconds that makes a real world difference and improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent for general use! 21 May 2012
By L. Woolridge TOP 500 REVIEWER
I bought one of these when they were on offer, not from amazon, but still!
Ipreviously had a 640GB 64MB Cache 6GBPS Hard drive installed in my system and boot times were decent but nothing in comparison to this!

My Setup:

AMD 1100T 3,9GHz
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
16GB G.Skill 1600MHz
SLI GTX 560Ti

The boot times blow away my previous hard drive by a long way. The moment i press enter after i enter my password windows boots and there is no waiting for programmes to load, click on start menu straight away and i can load up "computer" "Control panel" web browser and a game within seconds.

I would suggest for people to have a decent speed second hard drive for storage as I have windows 7 64 bit, Final Fantasy XIV, Diablo 3 and a few general programmes like Teamspeak 3 etc and i have 49GB free of 120GB (actually 111GB is available from this drive)

It has lowered my system noise as there are no longer any moving parts within which is an added bonus. There are obviously more expensive SSD out there but for general use, boot up times and gaming this is more than brilliant! Would recommend to anyone!
