Kingston SSDNow V+200 KR-S3020-3H 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal 7mm Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-alone Drive)

Pros: It worked for a couple months

Cons: Completely shut off after 3 months. I had set up to make sure all hibernation was off, TRIM enabled, etc. Still I'm assuming panic locked and is now no longer seen in BIOS. Getting RMA but quite disappointed with the lack of lifespan.

Pros: It's an SSD, It's better than any HDD

Cons: Not quite as fast as a samsung. I have 4 kingston and about 20 samsung SSD drives in my network. I have had 1 failure which is a kingston. could be my luck.

Pros: Bought this in a combo for a Christmas present last year. It might only have 120 gb of room, and after Win 7 added on, only a little under 100, but since this was for my mother, she isn't going to be using 100 gigs worth of space. She likes her internet, email, Angry Birds, and her photography. This beast starts Win 7 in just under 10 seconds, fully ready to go.

Cons: None.

Pros: 7.9/7.9 On windows experience index. Very fast boot.

Cons: after adding the operating system the drive was down to 70gb free space. (windows 7 ultimate)

Other Thoughts: It plays nice with my other harddrive Im able to access it right from this drive. not sure if that has to do with my mobo or what.

Pros: Super fast
Couldn't believe how small in physical size the drive was.
Completely quiet and cool

Cons: None yet, I've heard SSDs don't last as long as HDDs so I'm waiting.

Other Thoughts: Able to go from off to browsing the internet in about 15 seconds, this drive is amazingly fast.
Pop your OS on it and main programs and get a drive for your documents, files, movies etc and you're golden.

Pros: Easy installation! Very sleek and trim!

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Can't beat it with a stick. Kingston Delivers!

Pros: Great SSD. Fast. Works. Rates in 7.8 on Windows Experience index.

Cons: My Motherboard is only Sata2, so I can't get the full speed out of the drive.

Pros: I love this little SSD. Kingston makes great solid-state devices and this small 120GB SSD really performs. I currently use it as the OS in my Vyatta 6.5 R1 (Linux) rackmounted router build

Cons: none.

Pros: Cehap

Cons: Windows 8 installed on kingston SSD crashed with "driver IRQL.not less" error, and went to Kingston support instructed to change BIOS to IDE controller. Windows will not boot on CD, and with Raid controller error on the Bios screen.

Other Thoughts: NOT RMA
