Kingston V series ssd??

[trugbilddrachen]

Has any had any experience with these..? I know its their value series however I could not find any reviews for them.... I am willing to pick one up just to play with since they are cheap... although in SSD's it seems cheaper is not better...

Thanks

I just bought a 128GB one, so we shall see how it goes.

People on NCIX are saying they got word from Kingston that it uses the infamous Jmicron controller, but it has a custom firmware that no other drive has used before which is supposed to eliminate all the stuttering problems.

Kingston will also soon be offering bridges, land, and landmarks on their website if you believe that one without real independent proof to back it up.

ya i was wondering if they were any good as well, cause i would like to try every little thing to improve my current pc's perfromance without breaking the bank

more info on these drives would be awesome, cause they kind of look promising but limited reviews on them.

Pretty BS unless they can prove it with an IOMeter benchmark result that's sub 15ms response time. That's basically the performance of a 4200rpm hard drive. The regular JMF601/602s were racking up to 1000ms, and 500ms with a RAID solution.

Well still running this drive and it's working great. Although it is server duty, I'm very happy with it, nice and quick.

Ockie, did you by any chance run benches on the drive? I am curious about this SSD, but i would like to see the IOmeter bench, if this thing does the same as the earlier Jmicrons, then i'll know to forget about it..

if this thing pans out, my next upgrade will probably be this over a tri/quad core.. still debating wether i want 1x64, 2x64 in raid, or 1x 128..
