Manufacturer's Description

Transferring the operating system and applications from the HDD to the SSD allows the SSD to be used as a bootable drive that takes full advantage of the flash-based technology.For notebooks, SSDNow drives are a perfect replacement for hard drives resulting in faster, more reliable performance. Making this change will improve a notebook's efficiency in a wide range of tasks, from booting up to running the most robust operating system and demanding applications.SSDNow uses a standard SATA interface but, unlike a regular HDD, SSD is very rugged and built with no moving parts, making it ideal for power users and road warriors who push the limits of their notebooks. Other benefits include reduced power usage, less noise and less heat generation.SSDNow V Series drive helps organizations of all sizes and consumers enhance the performance of computers with a Serial ATA (SATA) interface. By improving a computer's performance and durability, SSDNow V Series drives help increase productivity, and extend the life of existing computers.

Couldn't help noticing previous reviewer's bad rating for this product which is actually seller rating (there is in fact a different feedback portal for sellers and this review should have been posted there).
I had this SSD for over a year and it's still working trouble free with no issues at all. I am using it in my laptop and the first thing you'd notice is that the boot-up speed is markedly quick compared with the HDD it replaced.
Things have moved on since I bought this SSD, such the added warranty offer and increased capacity and transfer rate for similar or even cheaper price (so do you research before you buy); there are more brands to choose from as well. I have confidence in Kingston memory products in general and no hesitation in recommending this product.

Best possible SSD deal for the price

It might be true that this SSD does not compete with other SSDs in the market for what concerns reading and writing speed. But it absolutely outperforms laptop hard drives. I installed it on a Samsung NC20 running Ubuntu and now everything runs about at least twice as fast. X starts in around 16-18 seconds, then KDE take its usual time to load, but I think that has to do with bugs in KDE. Shutting down is an even more amazing experience. Starting large programs still takes some time but smaller tasks are mainly instantaneous. Installing applications in Ubuntu is much faster too. I believe the remaining sluggishness is due to the graphic card. If you think about the fact that the desktop speed is mainly linked to the slowest component of your machine and you have a laptop, then this product can really do some magic for you. I applied a bunch of tricks, like using relatime for the ext4 partitions, tmpfs for the /tmp directory, and changing the scheduler from cfq to noop. But I could not experience any noticeable improvement. Overall you can use this product as if it was an HDD, but a faster one. This version of the SSD does not come with any CD or cables. You will have to find your own way to move files from your HDD to your SSD. Since I was reinstalling a new version of Ubuntu that was not a big deal for me. But I wish laptop were designed with two SATA slots nowadays, so that you could have a hybrid machine with both SSD for speed and HDD for storage.
64GB Ssdnow V-series SATA2

I really don't have a idea how this product preforms. When I got it has some bent and broken pins. I had to send it back to Kingston to get it repair (am waiting on return of 64GB Ssdnow V-series SATA2). I then found out that it is a discontinued product. I don't care about, but I was under the impression that it was a new product.
