For the Amount of space and performance, that is one tempting SSD for the price, But do we know what they're like for reliabillity?

Awesome might get one of these

InfiniteNoise · 17 Jul 2013 at 12:15

Mere days after ordering a SSD, this one pops up.

They seem very reliable so far based on returns but we havent sold any where near as many as the samsung so it would only take a couple of returns to ruin the return rate.

Doco · 17 Jul 2013 at 12:54

Thats is extremely tempting

whats the catch lol, but tbh I need a psu first lol

VIPER258 · 17 Jul 2013 at 13:26

Very tempted to get one.

Sprite · 17 Jul 2013 at 14:10

I've owned 4 Kingston SSDs over the past few years, never had a problem with any. Great prices as well on all of them.

Been rocking a V200+ for almost a year now without a hitch, Kingston make great drives.

iostream · 17 Jul 2013 at 17:57

I realise this is a "value" SSD, and benchmarks show it doesn't quite perform as well as more expensive 120gb SSDs. However am I likely to actually notice a difference in real world usage? Was hoping to sell my 64gb Crucial M4 and switch to this.

murah · 17 Jul 2013 at 19:34

no you wont say vs a max iops vertex 3 , my non max iops version has 500mb/s read+write which is around the sam as the kingston

hugely tempting deal, was just about to order a case and psu looks like i need to find more money

IRLeetly · 17 Jul 2013 at 22:10

May have a looky at this when I get around to upgrading the laptop.

Yeah same. Not the fastest but solid. Use mine just as a games drive. Just move the games I play on and off it as I please. BF3 loads far quicker with it than a mechanical

pipson · 17 Jul 2013 at 23:34

If i didnt need an SSD i wouldve bought this! Good deal imo.

Z e e b R a a · 18 Jul 2013 at 10:25

So so sooooo tempting.

Anyone dealt with Kingstons customer service should the worst happen?

arknor · 18 Jul 2013 at 10:38

rocking a v200+ without issues for probably a year now to.

Kingston have an RMA centre in the UK, i bought a V200+ when they were on offer last year for a similar price. I have had replaced twice in the last 11 months for a new drive.

So yeah the customer service is good, shame 2 drives died within such a short period yhough

If you're able to say, how many have been returned? This will be my first plunge into SSD.

Good to hear their customer service is good, the drives failing isn't such great news. :/

I'm guessing these new ones will be better than previous gen and that i was just unlucky.

Lets hope so!

What day does this deal end?
