Kingston SSDNow V Series 40GB SSD Desktop Upgrade Kit Review

Testing:

Crystal Disk Mark 2.2: Crystal Disk Mark is a hard drive benchmark designed to measure the read and write speeds for the drives in in 4k blocks, 512k blocks, and sequential data.

In Crystal Disk Mark, the Kingston drive did extremly well in the read benchmarks and outperformed the other drives in the 4k write benchmarks as well. The write scores really took a dive in performance at the 512k mark though, which allowed the hard disk drives take the lead.
