Kingston SSDNow M-Series & V-Series SSD Reviews
Futurelooks, PureOverclock and TweakTown have reviewed Kingston's SSDNow M-Series and V-Series solid state drives.
Here's what they had to say:
- Futurelooks: Kingston SSDnow V-Series 128GB Solid State Hard Drive Review:
"At a modest size, the Kingston 128GB V-Series Solid State Drive will serve you best hosting your Operating System and the bulk of the programs of your choice for quick boot and fast access times. Your aging SATA II hard drive would best compliment the SSD in a backup capacity or file storage capacity.
The Kingston SSDnow V-Series SSDs will definitely add some new found speed and spirit to your current system configuration. The inclusion of a complete instatllation bundle as well as a competitive pricepoint make this drive a great value for a truly plug and play experience."

- PureOverclock: Kingston SSDNow V-Series:
"Given the $230 USD (for 128GB) price tag versus performance, the V-Series offers very good performance that avoids the dreaded stuttering issues noted in past JMicron SSDs. With a very robust bundle that also includes a drive bay converter and top notch cloning software as well, a price point that approaches the $200 magic mark may very well be enough to help bring SSDs more quickly into the mainstream. To date, SSDs have either been too expensive or downright poor performers, but Kingston appears to have achieved a very fine balance between the two opposing forces, bringing a very compelling product to market with the SSDNow V-Series."

- TweakTown: Kingston SSDNow M-Series SSD Upgrade Kit:
"The Kingston SSDNow Upgrade Kit is a product whose time has come. Not only does the retail kit make it much easier to install a blazing fast SSD into your desktop in less than 30 minutes with your data migrated over, but it also gives desktop users the option to easily install a traditional notebook sized drive into their desktop.
We have already established that the Kingston SSDNow M-Series drive is the fastest consumer drive on the market. The M-Series is also a great product for RAID 0 desktop users looking for ultimate performance. As it sits right now there isn’t a drive, solid state or traditional platter based, that is faster than the Kingston SSDNow M-Series, other than the enterprise E-Series drives."

The M-Series is simply a rebadged Intel X-25M, which is widely regarded as the best SSD on the market. The V-series appears to a solid value-oriented model, and the JMicron controller that it is manufactured with does not suffer from the stuttering problem, so there's no reason to shy away from buying one.
