Kingston V series

How does theA-Data S596 SSD compare to the Kingston?

A-Data Technology has announced a 2.5-inch SATA2 SSD, the S596, that delivers a read speed of 250MB/sec and a write speed of 180 MB/sec.

The new A-Data S596 utilizes the next generation of flash technology and DDR2 SDRAM cache buffer to provide a fast boot-up time at 20 seconds on platforms running Windows 7, a 40% performance improvement compared to platform equipped with ordinary SSD, the company said.

Capacity available at 64-, 128- and 256GB, the S596 is in compliance with Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leopard, A-Data said. A mini USB port that comes with S596 extends the use of the SSD to become a secondary external hard drive

Hmm thats not to bad if computer brain is good or whatever. I am hoping they pop up on newegg soon!
 
Ahh ok lame. Amazon has the 40gb desktop kit for $120 which seems like good deal and would be nice for anyone that jumped on that newegg deal and wants setup raid 0 because it comes with that software
 
I snagged one of the 40 GB Kingston's from newegg's shellshocker. As soon as i get time I'll put Vista business 64 on it and see what it does for me. I have been running with a WD GReen 1TB as an OS drive(I know, it's slow as hell) because I built my system with the intention of deal-shopping for an SSD.

I think my install disk is corrupted or something, I can't get it through the "expanding files" step.
 
What really is stutter issue on Kingston V Series or V+ series? I was at another forum, some other people has this stutter issue w/ their Kingston SSD
 
This 40gb kingston drive uses the intel controller (only V series one that does I believe) the stutter issue only applies to the ones using the JMicron controller.
 
For the 256GB or the 128GB Series V+, do KIngston uses Intel controller or is it the Jmicron controller? I already went to their website, it's not listed on their spec.
