Kingston SSDNow V300 240G Upgrade Kit

Page 2 »

Upgrading to a Solid State Disk or SSD is one of the best performance enhancing upgrades that one can do to their PC. SSDs allow almost instant access to the stored data thanks to extremely low access times as well as high transfer rates. Essentially an SSD uses a similar technology that is used in USB flash drives. This technology combined with an onboard controller allows the SDD to act as a hard drive. As cost per gigabyte continues to decline, the market will see cheaper and higher capacity SSDs become available. Initially when SSDs were released on the market the cost placed them out of reach for the average consumer. Now a 120GB SSD can be purchased for around $100.00 USD.
