wrong, v300, get it right :stuck_out_tongue:
edit: first versions of v300 were fine, comparable with the rest of the market, then they decided to swap out the flash chips with Kellog's Frosties and hence the speed was greatly reduced.

After what Kingston did with the V300's I'm probably never going to buy a Kingston SSD again, it also makes me doubt the quality of all of their other products.
Think about that for a moment. Even if it was just once in their history - they were caught downgrading SSD's and selling them to people who were under the belief that they were getting the same SSD that the reviewers had gotten when in fact they were getting a shoddy cheaper version that didn't perform as well, how can you trust that the company isn't doing it elsewhere but hasn't been found out yet?.
That one mistake has lost them someone who would otherwise have bought this product and I won't be the only one that feels the same about what they did.

Worth a punt.

Kingston, though. Don't trust that the product you receive will match the product they describe it as being. They're a dodgy company.

They were very shady once, true... but they are the largest memory manufacturer in the world so they must be doing something right :P
