calling out kingston

[Darth-Marius]

i hope i raised awareness, companies should promote  products, but if its a shitty one, take some feedback, dont ignore it and leave buyers to amazon reviews that are made by people who have had the product for 5 days and are insisting on reviewing it

[Glenwing]

Are we still talking about the V300?

 

(Well, I guess if Kingston still is, we also must...)

[RedSphyxis]

i hope i raised awareness, companies shouldn't promote shitty products, especially with biased or unhelpful reviews, especially when they know the product sucks

it's their product, it's their right to promote them shitty or not. 

 

it's the fault of the consumer if they fall for the pit trap. Plus it looks like the review is a legit one whether it's common or not.

 

 

If you own a business you will do everything to promote it or the product to keep it afloat. Nobody in their right mind would insult their own product.

 

you can hate them or unfollow them due to this but you can't blame them for having a good PR plan

I've never heard of anything from Kingston sucking...

Also it seems like you would be the odd one out, you're saying this about a product with a 4.5 Star (3.2K Reviews)rating?

Also... Do you even understand what advertising even is?

EDIT: Apparently yada yada yada you may be some what right, but... 120GB for 65 bucks? That's... Pretty cheap in CAD. I guess you get your money's worth

EDIT: Oh wow, for those who didn't know they switched out the flash chips for something else, dropping performance by 300% allegedly.

The V300 isn't shit, it just performs lesser than a lot of SSDs but significantly faster than a HDD...  so it works alright

[daniellearmouth]

Sorry, but what exactly is wrong with Kingston promoting their products, bad or not?

 

It's their product; it's for them to advertise it. They're not exactly falsely advertising it, especially considering the product has a rather overwhelming five stars on the product page.

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with them advertising it like they are.

[GoldSrc]

Yeah, some drives were crap, but as far as I know, they replaced those, so yeah, almost nothing to see here.

This.

[Clyne]

Who knows that the new batch of V300s have shitty controller or not, regardless it's faster than a SSD.

If i wanted a cheap fast SSD i would already gone with a Patriot Blaze.
