It is known that one of the main obstacles to the mass dissemination of solid-state drives, is their high cost. Indeed, for the price you are asked today for the SSD, the user can easily get a standard hard drive in several times more capacity. All manufacturers have different struggling with this problem. Someone, such as a corporation Intel, plans to move to a more "subtle" manufacturing process that increases the capacity of SSD drives and reduces the cost of their production. But the company Kingston Digital, a subsidiary of Kingston Technology, decided to simply reduce the amount of storage to reduce their prices.



Indeed, the capacity of the new model in the budget series Kingston SSDNow V is only 30 GB, which is sufficiently small by modern standards. Manufacturer, however, rightly believes that this amount of memory is enough to create a boot disk, realizing the benefits of solutions based on NAND memory.

Model Kingston SSDNow V capacity of 30 GB actually has a good performance. For example, it allows computer programs such as Photoshop, iTunes and Firefox, to load up to six times faster than using a standard hard drive. SSD drive Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB Boot Drive is equipped with three-year warranty, but its delivery will begin in late February. The exact value of the product is still unknown, reported only that the price is less than 90 pounds (about 145 dollars).
