Kingston SSDNow V Series 30G Twin-Pack Review

Wed, 2010-12-08 09:52 -- Elric Phares

I have moved all testing on HDDs or SSD drives to the video card test platform as it supports drives with SATA 6Gb/second support and sports two Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB drives which should have great performance. The 30GB drive performs OK as you can see by the numbers single drive performance is OK, but RAID 0 performances completely blows away the competition except in one test.

Test System

  • Intel Core i7-980X running at 3.2GHz
  • 24GB Kingston DDR3-1866 Kingston memory
  • ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard running latest drivers and BIOS
  • 2 Kingston 128GB SNP325-S2/128GB SSD drives in RAID 0 Mode for OS and programs
  • SNV125-S2BD/30GB Drive
  • Two SNV125-S2BD/30GB-2P drives in RAID 0 Mode
  • ATI RADEON HD 4870 1GB video card running Catalyst 10.9
  • Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate

Tests

  • AS SSD benchmark
  • AS SSD Copy benchmark
  • ATTO
  • CrystalDiskMark
  • HD Tach
  • HD Tune
  • Sisoft  Sandra 2010 Disk benchmark
  • PCMark Vantage HDD Suite

 

Fast, secure and stable are just a few things the new Kingston TwinPack 30GB SSDNow brings to the table.
