Kingston Adds 30GB SSDNow V Series To Entry-Level Range
Kingston's original 40GB SSDNow drive has been a real hit for the
storage company; or, at least that's the impression that we're getting
now. In order to reach out to even more potential consumers who would
love to swap out at least their boot drive to a solid state drive, the
company has just announced the SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive. As you
would expect, this is described as an "affordable way to boost the
performance of your desktop computer."
The unit will be priced as under 90 pounds in the UK, which enables it to be a fast, affordable way to seriously upgrade the speed and performance of your PC. Just as an example, Kingston promises that application loading will be nearly 6x faster than on a conventional HDD, and a dual-pack of these drives will be released in the future for those looking for even more performance. As with the 40GB version, this drive is also available as an all-in-one bundle kit, including cloning software, 2.5" to 3.5" brackets and SATA data and power cable extenders. The drive will begin shipping late next month.
