Does anyone in the forums have the 128GB Kingston V series SSD? MB has them here and the price is decent.

Online reviews showed very impressive sustained read/write speeds and this drive also supports TRIM in Windows 7. The tests showed that this drive under a speed test beat out its own specification for read times.

Looking seriously at picking one up. Its not the best out there but it is a mid range performing drive.

i run the first gen Kingston SSDNow V 64gb.

Mine doesnt support trim and i think the 2nd gen might have alittle better read/write. but none the less, the difference is VERY noticable. I load windows/games seemingly twice as fast as before. Really one of the best upgrades any user could make is to buy an ssd.

The 2nd Gen is MUCH faster. Benches show it beating the rated speeds. Burst and all that is meh - I am more concerned with systained/avg speeds.

The 2nd Gen write is ~164 and read times are well over 200. Seriously considering this drive.

haha Steve-O well onboard raid will not give you the results like people think you get. Not even close. Onboard raid is good at showing one huge drive, but not good at giving you the speeds that you should be getting.

The only way to get true raid and the associated speeds is by doing what you did Steve-O. A costly raid card.

For me tho one SSD @ 128GB should be fine. Minus allocations and all that bull I should get ~119 useable gigs. Well - until they come out with the new fangled advanced formatting from western digital for getting another 11% drive space.

QFT. I've heard nothing but horror stories and lamentations about onboard RAID controllers.

QFT = Quoted For Truth. I was, in fact, agreeing with Hali_Newf and throwing my $0.02

Every other time i've seen QFT, it means something completely different :P

So one 128GB ssd for me would be fine. It would run circles around the 74G raptor all day long.

Huh, wacky. I've only ever seen it in the "I agree" context, not the "piss off" context :?

Wait wait wait... you play WoW and you still haven't seen "QTF" before? ;) I guess you just don't read the forums while at work. ;)

QFT = Quit Fscking Talking when I say it. Means all sorts of crap. I prefer using just "Truthiness" if I were to agree, or "/agree", or "+1" or "^", depending on how lazy I felt at the time.

Usually proceeded by a picture of Quantum Field Theory.

For the record, there is no truth at all in any WoW chat, about anything, ever, period. THE END.

i only have a 64gb, and I'm fine, alittle tighter than i would like, but I have an external, plus a HDD that i use for non-essential programs, ssd is strictly for windows/games/drivers...nothing else...
