Kingston Digital Launches SSDs for Corporate Client System Use

Kingston Digital announced the launch of its next generation SSDNow V+ solid-state drive, the Kingston SSDNow V+100. The new drive features enhanced garbage collection that is OS-independent to extend the life cycle of older client systems. The drive performance has also been increased by 25 percent. In addition, a new 96GB capacity has been added to the family.



As mentioned above, the new Kingston SSDNow V+100 has an enhanced "always-on" garbage collection feature, which cleanses redundant data from the drive to prevent performance degradation and maintains the drive over its life cycle. Since the garbage collection scheme operates independently from the OS, it works with both modern, TRIM-supporting systems such as Windows 7, as well as older legacy OSes such as Windows Vista and XP that do not support TRIM.

With a 2.5" form factor, this new series is now available in 64GB, 96GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities.

Kingston SSDNow V+100 features and specifications:

  • Sequential Speed: 230MB/sec. read; 180MB/sec. write
  • Capacity: 64GB, 96GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB
  • PCMark Vantage: 64GB – 35046, 96GB – 34971, 128GB – 35073, 256GB – 34795
  • Silent: Runs silent and cool with no moving mechanical parts

  • Ease of upgrade: Upgrade times can be reduced by up to 4 hours
