Kingston V300 SSD boot & launch test (Win7)
166BUYER BEWARE -- Update Feb 17 2014;
Before you run out and buy one of these drives, it has come to my attention that Kingston is now using asynchronous NAND instead of synchronous/toggle like you see in this video and online reviews. Synchronous NAND signal twice per cycle, asynchronous only signal once per cycle, making them much slower. Check your firmware: If you have 505xxxxx you are good to go, if you have firmware 506xxxxx you have one of the newer but much slower drives. That sucks and I highly recommend that you return it ASAP.
I'm usually a huge Kingston fan and greatly enjoy their rock solid products, but this is downright shady business practices, especially if you don't tell anyone about the NAND downgrade. Reviews are out for the slightly older but much faster drives, so why bother right? Shame on you Kingston.

AnandTech posted a more in-depth article about the issue here, including some shocking benchmarks http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingston-ssdnow-v300-a-switch-to-slower-micron-nand

Original message which still applies to this drive with firmware 505;
Kingston once again delivers rock solid performance at a low price. This video was recorded when the drive was using a SATA-2 interface on a sub par PC. The V300 actually supports SATA-3 which makes it even faster.
Wow, I'm shaking :)
