Let me share a story with you. I was the network administrator for a group of small businesses and because I was mobile I was completely reliant on my laptop. Nine months after the rest of my team was let go for “budget reasons”, my hard drive died. If you want to see a grown man cry like a three year old, find an overworked IT admin and kill their hard drive. In an ideal world I would have had a recent backup, however, in an ideal world incompetence wouldn’t be rewarded with promotion. For the imperfect (cough real) world I recommend installing a solid state drive. Today I will be taking a look at the Kingston SSDNOW V100 Notebook upgrade kit. Here is Kingston’s Take: “SSDNow V100 is ideal for consumers or small businesses looking for an affordable way to extend the life of desktops or notebooks at a lower cost than a replacement system. It’s perfect for home users, freelance designers and photographers, video editors, researchers, administrators and educators, and anyone who travels for their job. It’s built with no moving parts to provide durability and reliability and meet the needs of professionals in the office or on the road.
A year ago, the Indilinx appeared to be the best alternative to Intel-based controllers for the budget SSD market. While there are alternative SSD controllers available, such as JMicron, Marvell, and Toshiba, the Indilinx-based controller offers a balanced performance and TRIM support, making it the one of the best budget controllers. This year, SandForce grabbed the headlines with one of the best controllers available for its incredible performance. However, other controller manufacturers should not be discounted simply because all we hear is SandForce. JMicron was one of the first budget SSD controllers to appear on the market. A year ago, if asked for a budget SSD, we would have suggested staying away from JMicron-based SSDs, simply because of their poor performance. Even with their low price, it was still not worth buying SSDs based on the JMicron 602 controller. However, the engineers at JMicron have been doing their homework, and have redesigned the controller. Their latest JM612/JM618 is supposed to have fixed the issues with the older controller. Kingston's latest SSDNow V 100 is one of the drives that utilize the latest JMicron JM618 controller.
