Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB SNV125-S2BD/30GB
Kingston has scrapped the 40GB model in favor of a new 30GB product supporting TRIM and garbage collection. It is a worthy upgrade to the original boot drive.

Packaging

The product packaging is pretty much the same as the previous version of the drive that this replaces. It is always nice to see the retail packaging that everyone would see when browsing a store shelf. The Kingston dude is on display on all their products.

Presentation is very important to people when they buy a product. No one wants to open the box to find stuff strewn everywhere. The Kingston dude is embossed on the plastic top and the first thing you see is a nice and neat package with the software on top.

Kingston provides a three year warranty on this drive and the specs put it a bit faster than the previous version with great read speeds and mediocre write speeds. The other difference is that this setup requires much more power than the older, Intel based, drive.

Package Contents

In addition to the software, the desktop kit includes the drive, a Serial ATA cable, a 4-pin molex to SATA power cable, and 2.5" to 3.5" mounting brackets. Kingston puts out the bare drive under a different SKU (SNV125-S2/30GB) and will be about $15 cheaper.
