Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I grabbed this SSD to replace a boring 160G 5400rpm drive that came with my Netbook (Lenovo S10)get to enjoy instant access to everything.there is no spin-up time, the concept of drive sleep no longer exists.Boot time is like 70-80% faster.The system is now completely silent, and I don't feel like I have to coddle it, because the hard drive is spinning.It adds a new freedom to computers.I didn't get the laptop bundle (Kingston SSDNow V-Series SATA2 128 GB 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Notebook Upgrade Kit Bundle SNV125-S2BN/128GB) because it was out of stock at the time, however that is a better deal that this, because it gives you an enclosure for the old drive.Since I already had a 2.5" enclosure, this one was OK for me.
Overall, the SSD is a great improvement over my old hard drive, The company behind the product is also good, and I highly recommend it.Pros:
Faster that a hard drive because there is no spin-up or seek time
Uses less power (Better battery life on the notebook)
Far more durable -- (you don't have to be a careful as you must be when dealing with a spinning hard drive)
Cons:
Far more expensive than a comparable hard drive.
MLC based SSD's can wear out with constant writing.The manufacturers have special algorithms to minimize the wear of a single memory cells, so I figured that if Kingston can warrant it for 3 years, its no problem for me.
