Awards 2009

PCTuner - November 2009
PCTuner - Best Buy Award
"Kingston SSDNow V Series 40GB has a transfer rate of over 170 MB per second read and 40 MB per second in writing. Its extremely high speed has no equivalent among the existing hard disk, except perhaps among the top models of the disks SAS / SCSI"



Hexus - October 2009
Kingston SSDNow 40GB V-series SSD review. Desktop and netbook performance
"The Kingston SSDNow V 40GB... is a good bet as a boot drive in a high-performance PC, or, as we've shown, as primary storage in a netbook."



PC Welt - September 2009
PC Welt awards the SSDNow V+
"The Kingston SSDnow V+ convinces with fast datarates and access times. Especially the transfer performance in the practice test convinces... Therefore it is our new winner in the category up to 300€"



3DFusion.de - June 2009
3DFusion.de awards the Kingston SSDNow MSeries 80GB drive Silver Award
"The drive is fast to access, high read speeds, low power consumption and heat loss, and with no moving parts means that it is more resistant to outside influences."



DriverHeaven.net - June 2009
SSD Roundup June 2009
"If looking at the paper specifications of the Kingston drive it would not look particularly appealing, the read and write speeds of the drive when compared to other models are pretty low. Additionally the knowledge that this drive uses the older JMicron controller may cause concern for some people. When actually using the drive there is little to be concerned about, in almost every test the V-Series outperforms a Western Digital Raptor and does so while using less power and generating less heat and noise. The stuttering which plagued early JMicron based drives is gone in this model and we were impressed by the bundle provided which included equipment and software that make the upgrade process quick and simple. Due to its exceptional price point and great bundle the V-Series wins our Value Award."



Dexgo.com - April 2009
Dexgo.com wards Kingston SSDNow M-Series
"The Kingston SSDNow M-Series with 80GB capacity is the only candidate we can fully recommend. In the pracitcal tests, this SSD was always the best or among the best ones."



PC Games Hardware - April 2009
PC Games Hardware awards Kingston SSDNow E-Series 32GB
"The data - resulting in expensive SLC-chips and in a sophisticated controller using NCQ – are extreme. More than 230MB/sec. reading, almost 200MB/sec. writing – the latter being more than the manufacturer is promising. Access time is beyond reproach. When reading or writing data it allows itself less the 10/2000 sec. No surprise that both copytests have been much faster as with any other drive in the review."



Fudzilla - April 2009
Fudzilla reviews the Kingston SSDNow E-Series 32GB
"We must admit that this device is simply flawless and it leaves the competition in a huge cloud of dust, but we still find it hard to believe that users will find it to be appealing with such high pricing … With that in mind, and the fact that this device is quiet, durable and an excellent performer, we could say that this devices golden times are yet to come... we dub Kingston SSDNow E 32GB a Fudzilla Recommended piece of kit."



user-profile.de - April 2009
user-profile.de awards Kingston SSDNow M-Series
"Kingston is giving is a futuristic pretaste. Weight, formfactor, robustness und last but not least the performance are stunning."



Noticias3D - April 2009
Noticias3D reviews the Kingston SSDNow 80GB MSeries
"The performance is excellent for both reading and writing, the benefits are plain to see that there is no noise, low heat, no vibration of any kind, adaptive and has a plethora of features although the price is high."



Clunk.org - January 2009
Clunk.org reviews the Kingston SSDNow E Series 32GB
"The Kingston SSDNow E-Series 32GB Solid State Drive is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.  As far as hard drives go,  it's an insanely specialised bit of kit and will not suit everyone, but if you do happen to need/want a drive that can match a six or eight  (maybe more) disk RAID set up for IOPS and bandwidth, then this could be for you... To sum up, the Kingston SSDNow E-series 32GB SSD is indeed the fastest commerically available single SATA II hard drive available today, its silent, uses a tiny amount of power, takes up a minimal amount of space, has no moving parts, is cool."
