Kingston 256GB V100 SSD: your machine, on speed

23rd March 2011, 16:51

Listen. Just stop, and listen. How much noise is your computer making? Can you hear it? Are the fans going? Is the hard drive making its constant little noise?

Not the one I'm using. It's silent. That's because it's got a solid state drive (SSD), which roughly doubles its read/write speed and improves the performance of the laptop I'm using it in by about 50%.

That's quite an improvement - equivalent to upgrading your machine completely. The drive in question is a Kingston SSDNow 100 256GB (model number KINGSTON SVP100S2256G), which I'm using in a three-year-old MacBook laptop running Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 with 4GB of RAM (the maximum it can take).
