Nowadays, we see alot of SSD (Solid State Drive) in the market. And here comes the new SSDNow V+ series from Kingston, not to be confused with the original V series. The original V series is part of Kingston's new value series lineup targeted at the mainstream DIY and upgrade market with a decently fast drive at affordable prices. Its read/write speeds are advertised at 100MB/s and 80MB/s respectively and comes in 64GB and 128GB capacity.
The newer V+ series that is mention here have better specifications such as 220MB/s sequential read speeds and up to 140MB/s write speeds for the 64GB edition. It also comes in capacities up to 256GB and has lower idle power draw than the original V series. Both are basically MLC-flash equipped drives but the V series uses the jointly developed controllers from JMicron and Toshiba, whereas the V+ series uses a Samsung controller. Another highlight point for the V+ series is its huge 128MB cache memory that should definitely distinguish it from the normal V series that has none.
