Kingston Ssd V300 Series 120gb Sata Iii

Product Description Kingston SSD V300 Series 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive The 120GB 2.5″ SSDNow V300 7mm Internal Solid State Drive from Kingston is an SSD that will allow you to store and quickly access up to 120GB of your files, such as movies, photos, music, documents, and more. The drive is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS, and may be used in both notebook and desktop systems. With solid state drive technology, you benefit from load and access times for your files and programs that are faster than a conventional 7200 rpm hard disk drive. In terms of speed, the drive offers sequential read and write times of 450MB/s, as well as random 4K reads up to 85,000 IOPS, and random 4K writes up to 55,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second). Included with this SSD is a 7mm to 9.5mm Adapter, which will allow you to mount the drive in the 9.5mm bay of your notebook. Compatible with Notebook and Desktop Systems Compatible with systems running Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Mac OS, this 2.5″ SSD can be mounted in your notebook’s 7mm drive bay. Using the included 7mm to 9.5mm adapter, this drive may be mounted in your notebook’s 9.5mm drive bay. Using a separately sold 3.5″ mounting bracket, this SSD may be used in your desktop’s 3.5″ drive bay. SATA Interface The SSD connects via the SATA 6 Gb/s interface. The SATA interface is also backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s. LSI SandForce Controller LSI SandForce controllers use DuraWrite technology. The DuraWrite architecture was designed to extend the life of the NAND used within Kingston SSDs. It does this by using unique algorithms that reduce the amount of data written to the SSDs and Flash memory cells, thus extending NAND and SSD life. A beneficial byproduct of this reduction is a resulting increase in performance when compressible data is used. Durability Since SSDs contain no moving parts, they are more durable against physical damage, including data loss, and are not subject to the wear and tear that standard HDD’s receive from read/write heads
