Kingston SVP200S3/60G 60GB SSDNow V+200 SATA 3 2.5
Cons:Not Even Close to Promised Read & Write SpeedsSlower Then Most SATA II SSD'sKingston Has Highest Failure Rate with SSD'sNo Official Support Forums200MB/s Reads & 98MB/s Writes
Pros:NoneSlow Performance |
So I decided I'd take a chance on Kingston drives, especially since these drives use the same Sandforce controller as the competition & I got it for $75 Brand New.. But honestly It's only been 2 days and I've been regretting my purchase, I wish I could return these but unfortunately I cannot. As far as the speeds are concerned, they don't perform even close to the advertised speeds, I literally got Sequential 200MB/s Reads & 98MB/s Writes (Yes my Motherboard supports SATA 6gb/s)..Kingston is also known to have the highest failure rate compared to it's competitors, and the support? Well It's terrible, there are no forums or anything like that where you can discuss the problems or issues.. Companies like Crucial, Corsair, OCZ, Intel offer Community Forums to address peoples concerns..This drive deserves 1 star, but I wasn't able to give it 1 since I didn't buy the drive from NCIX..So guys do yourself a favour and avoid all Kingston SSD's period.. Most reliable drives in order are = Intel, Crucial, Corsair, OCZ.. Kingston is at the very bottom.. This is pure garbage..
