Adding an SSD to a desktop already using a standard hard disk drive is a smart and efficient way to upgrade. 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. The SSD and the HDD then co-exist to drive optimal performance in the upgraded desktop
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.
Kingston's SSDNow V Series offers performance gains and power consumption reductions at a fraction of the cost of a new system. For added peace of mind, they're backed by 24/7 tech support, a three-warranty and legendary Kingston reliability.

You get what you pay for! It's faster then a normal hdd but slower then most ssd on the market. Up to now, this drive is faster then my raid 0 and I had no problem with the modified jmicron controler. Also the drive comes complete with software, mounting bracket, screws, etc.

It's exactly as Kingston says, they really nailed it with this drive. If you're looking for a stutter-free budget drive with decent space, or wanting to dip your feet in the SSD pool, this is it.
