Kingston SSDNow V+ Series (2nd Gen) 128GB SSD Review

The AS SSD benchmark is another free utility which was created specifically with SSD's in mind. It delivers a plethora of tests across sequential read and write and also places random read and write loads across a specific area of the drive. This is a good tool to use in conjunction with Windows 7 as it mirrors a very real world set of conditions.

The Kingston drive performed at the top of the field in our AS SSD tests and while the expensive Intel X drive managed a staggering 260MB/s read the Kingston drive was right on the shoulder of the OCZ Vertex. The write performance however shows the Kingston drive leading the pack with 183MB/s – over 20mb/s more than the Indilinx powered Vertex.
