Kingston SSDNow V-Series 64 GB SATA2 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Desktop Kit Bundle SNV125-S2BD/64GB

129.99

That is 20$ cheaper than newegg so I assume its a good deal.

99.99 after 30 MIR at the Egg for 72 hours...

Last time I checked these had very good reviews.

No TRIM support. I think that's a dealbreaker for me.

radi4fun · Oct 2, 2009

is this new TRIM support with new SSD's really really that important? how big of a real world differance can it be?

johan851 · Oct 2, 2009

Give this a read (I know it's long): http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631

Basically, drive performance degrades significantly over time without TRIM and doesn't degrade with it. Without TRIM, you're looking at a 15%-60% performance decrease over time depending on the task.

plus this thing uses Jmicron controller with the stuttering. Read and writes that most HDs can hit.

I'm glad I didn't jump on this right away, then... I want to replace my laptop HDD, but still waiting for lower, more affordable prices on something that won't give me a headache.

Same here. Keep an eye out for the OCZ Solid 2 Series. It's a budget line that's supposed to use the Indilinx controller, so it should be pretty quick and support TRIM. I think. Not to be confused with the Solid series, which is currently available.

The actual controller is a Toshiba modified JMicron controller, every review I've read (albeit, only about 3 or 4), said the stuttering issue was not present.

I heard it doesn't stutter either...

Same. Everything I've seen about this drive indicates that it does not stutter.

Kingston has release a V+ series also, they use the MLC technique with this series. I check testeek and it has received quite a few awards and a high overall score:

anyone has any experiences with the V+ series? it's goddamn expensive...
