Cons
64GB isn't enough.

Summary
I've used this ssd in my main computer for like 3 years and now I'm using it in the living room computer. I only put the OS and drivers on this drive but it still helps start up times.

|
Cons
not the fastest

Summary
First experience with SDD I am happy with this drive all and all. I am using this as a experiment for my desktop OS, it does boot a bit faster but nothing jaw dropping running benchmarks and it destroys my seagate 7200.12 like expected. i went with this cause there was no, MIR but it is definitely not the fastest SSD out there i will probably stick this in my OLD dell laptop to see if this SSD is actually everything it is cracked up to be. all and all good drive price is fair compared to other SSD drives
follow up: after tweaking windows a bit i can load windows extremely fast have not officially timed it but its very fast i changed my opinion of this drive would purchase again!

Pros
Bon manufacturier.
Performent à comparé d'un disque dur ordinaire.
Prix de 88.88$ en solde agressif à comparé à la concurence.
Un score de 100% avec SSDLife.
Bonne fabrication.
|
Cons
Moins rapide que les disques SDD concurents mais plus cher.
|
Summary
Ce disque dur est un bon point de départ dans le monde des SSD. La performence n'est pas extrème par contre les commentaires des nombreux utilisateurs sont très positifs concernant la fiabilité du disque et on retrouve que peu de commentaires négatifs. Rien ne sert d'avoir quelque chose de rapide mais de pas fiable. Donc un très bon achat.

Pros
fast
cheaper than many smaller capacity SSDs.
|
Cons
higher cost per gigabyte vs traditional hard drive
|
Summary
Its a great SSD, made everything run/load much faster.
Bought it for $87, as an OS boot drive capacity is adequate for my use. There are slightly faster SSDs but for average users the difference in speed is not noticable.
Overall great budget SSD when on sale.

Summary
The speed difference compared to a HDD is amazing. I wasn't expecting to see such a boost for an older pc. I higher reccomend this or any good SSD for an older pc or laptop. You will not regret it.

Pros
Very fast; increases productivity
|
Cons
Storage capacity is low and requires mechanical drive for home dir
|
Summary
The 64GB Kingston SSD drive is BLAZINGLY FAST. Taking into account the computer POST once the operating system loads it takes 3 seconds to get to the login screen on my Ubuntu box. OpenOffice loads 3x as fast as a regular 7200rpm drive.
I am very happy with the speed.

Pros
Durability, Speed

Cons
Still pricey compared to HDDs.

Summary
I bought this drive to use in a Mac Mini mobile installation, as it is not susceptible to physical shock. I was pleasantly surprised to see full boot time drop from 45 sec. to 20 sec. in the 1.6GHz Core Duo Mini. Installation was straight forward - the screws from the Mini's old drive fit the Kingston. Total time to re&re was about 45 min. Overall, the Mini now seems much snappier, with all apps booting in a fraction of the time - ie: Safari boots to home page in about .5 sec.
At $106 tax in, this was a great price/performance upgrade.
BTW, a subsequent CPU upgrade to 2.33GHz C2D brought boot time down to 15 sec.

| Comment: |
Kingston has really put the pressure on the other SSD manufacturers with their 128GB SSDNow V Series drive. With solid performance for an entry-level drive and $2/GB pricing that even SSD upgrade holdouts will find hard to resist, I have a feeling retailers will have a hard time keeping these drives |
