Sydney Australia \u2013 (August 13, 2009) \u2013 Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced a new addition to its SSDNow line of solid-state drives. The SSDNow V+ features capacities from 64GB to 256GB with higher input and output operations per second (IOPS) and faster read\/write speeds than a standard mechanical hard-disk drive. It is targeted to prosumers and enterprise companies looking to increase performance and extend the life of existing systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe SSDNow V+ is the ideal solid-state drive for power users, system builders, system integrators, and in demanding corporate environments where efficiency and performance are important as more system resources are in use,\u201d said Vaughan Nankivell, Regional Manager, Australia and New Zealand for Kingston Technology. \u201cUsers will be more productive as the drive\u2019s higher capacities and IOPS allow for more data storage and faster boot and application load times.\u201d<\/p>\n
A computer\u2019s operating system will benefit from the drive\u2019s impressive random 4K read speeds of up to 6,300 IOPS, and random 4K writes of up to 291 IOPS. The Kingston SSDNow V+ has a blazing sequential read speed of up to 220MB\/sec. and write speeds of up to 180MB\/sec.<\/p>\n
The V+ is the latest addition to the SSDNow family of solid-state drives. The V+ is currently available in the United States in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities; the 64GB drive is available worldwide with increased capacities to come. It uses a standard SATA interface and is extremely durable with no moving parts and less heat generation than a typical hard-disk drive.<\/p>\n
The SSD is backed by a three-year warranty, free tech support and legendary Kingston reliability.
