I have one issue with the V300: There's nothing particular in it that would differentiate it from the other SandForce based SSDs. While Kingston said they did lots of customization and worked closely with SandForce/LSI, at least in our testing there aren'...
Solid State Drives are the inevitable direction of storage technology but adoption is still slow. For a few months there it looked like we were getting closer to .50 cents a GB but then prices went back up. I don’t think it’s all that influenced by the...

Available with comprehensive desktop or laptop installation kit, 7mm thickness for slim laptops, Consistent speed through most tests
Performance in our benchmarks lagged behind less-costly alternatives
This solid-performing drive is available with a handy installation kit for a small premium. Barring a price drop, though, it’s not the best balance of performance and price we’ve tested. ...

Abstract: Kingston V300 Review – In the last year or so of our SSD reviews, one SSD controller has stood out above the rest in terms of offering the best performance for the price. Just about any SSD based on the SandForce controller is a good one in its price rang...
Excellent sequential performance, Great 4K performance, Potential for 85K IOPS, Special tuned controller/firmware between Kingston & LSI/Sandforce, Super Fast Read/Write, Under $1/GB
Uncompressible data performance takes a hit (SF2281 issue Not independent to this model)
The Kingston V300 aims and hits the mark on a value based SSD which also offers sub dollar per Gigabyte pricing and for this, it earns the Bjorn3D Golden Bear Award....
Faster speeds than specification; robust accessory package; competitive price; customized controller by LSI
SandForce 2281 struggles with incompressible data; not fastest SSD on the market
Great overall combination of speed, accessories, and price for a solid purchase. Discuss in the Forum...

Great price/performance ratio. Priced well below $1 per GB.
Older SF-2181 loses speed in random read/writes, or when working with uncompressed data
The 128GB Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S3D7 internal solid-state drive pushes well below the $1 per GB price point without compromising drive performance....
Abstract: Kingston V300: At last, Sandforce for the Value series The folks at Kingston have long shunned SandForce controllers in their Value SSD series. SSDNow V100 didn’t have one, because it was reserved only for the most expensive models back at the time. Wh...
