\nKingston SSDNow V+180 for road warriors<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSydney, Australia \u2013 October 27, 2010 — Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of the Kingston SSDNow V+180 range, bringing the performance, endurance and productivity of solid state drives (SSD) to the 1.8\u201d form factor. Part of the second generation Kingston SSDNow V+ range, the Kingston SSDNow V+180 is designed for today\u2019s ultra-mobile devices, and with road warriors in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cKingston Technology has listened to its customers, delivering the SSDNow V+180 Series,\u201d explains Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. \u201cEnterprises, SMBs and consumers can upgrade their ultra-thin notebooks, netbooks, and even tablet PC\u2019s with a 1.8\u201d form factor to enjoy supercharged performance, enhanced endurance and boosted productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Independent IT analyst IDC estimates that the number of mobile workers will hit 1 billion by 2011, driven by technology advances such as high speed networking, and the desire for greater work\/life balance. Today\u2019s road warriors demand the highest performance and durability in the smallest and most mobile configuration. Kingston\u2019s SSDNow V+180 Series brings speed and endurance to the ultra-portable 1.8\u201d form factor:
\n\u2022 Kingston\u2019s SSDNow can out-perform hard disk drives (HDD) by up to five times, enabling boot times up to 60 percent faster and allowing users to load, switch and run multiple applications at the same time more effectively.
\n\u2022 SSD\u2019s hugely enhanced endurance brings confidence, particularly when users are on the road and away from IT support. The Kingston SSDNow V+ Series is up to eight times more shock-resistant than hard disk drives and because they have no moving parts, they are less prone to mechanical failures.
\n\u2022 Less power-hungry than HDDs, SSDs also enhance battery life, meaning users work faster for longer.<\/p>\n
