Kingston V300 thoughts?

[Lordmac14]

I know they are cheap and nasty, but what are some personal experiences people have had with Kingston V300 SSds ? Just trying to gauge whether there is any point spending money on one 

 

Thanks

There are other SSDs for a similar amount of money that are not the V300

I am still boycotting the V300 after the did a bait and switch and started producing lower quality and speed SSDs compared to the original version that got reviewed - so I advise not to buy

there are other cheap ssds that are good - what is your budget

AHHHHHHHHH RUN! These are the worst ssds ever. There are cheaper ssd that perform way better. The controller is outdated and performs like a fast hard drive, not a slow ssd (250-300mbps which is BAD) Dont get one of these ever get a ADATA or a samsung or a crucial or a hyper x. Anything but this.

Thanks, budget is under $50 US. I have looked at older 6/700 series samsung drives before as they are at a similar price point

Kingston swapped their Nand and their performance fell downhill, don't buy them, at least show Kingston that this crap shouldn't be done

Thanks for your help, won't go anywhere near them!

my advice is that you either buy a good SSD or dont buy one at all

unless you dont mind data loss

Kingston SSD Now series is pretty garbage... Sandisk SSD Plus series is a really decent budget SSD and last time I checked they were around $50 for a 240 GB model. Adata SSD's are really good as well but I can't remember what their price is. Corsair Force LE is also something to look into. They were pretty cheap not to long ago although that could have changed by now.
