120GB SATA III Internal SSD

This Kingston SSDNow V300 drive provides 120GB of solid-state storage for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses a SandForce controller and a SATA III interface to reach sequential speeds up to 450 MBps. The 2.5-inch form factor fits standard drive bays and caddies. It is designed as a direct replacement for mechanical hard drives.

Straightforward 2.5-inch SATA installation

The drive slides into any 2.5-inch bay and connects with standard SATA data and power cables. No extra drivers are required for modern operating systems. The supplier notes that used units may show cosmetic markings and can include up to 25 bad sectors. Drives are erased to NIST 800-88 but arrive unformatted and unpartitioned.

Steady performance within rated limits

Under sustained workloads the drive operates between 0°C and 70°C with active power draw of 1.423W read and 2.052W write. Random performance reaches up to 85,000 IOPS read and 55,000 IOPS write. Vibration resistance is rated at 2.17G peak while operating. MTBF is specified at 1,000,000 hours.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the SV300S37A/120G is running at its rated 450 MBps sequential read speed after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD on the SATA III port and confirm the sequential read result reaches the published 450 MBps figure.

What does the SV300S37A/120G package include and what extra items are required for a desktop install?

The drive ships as a bare 2.5" SATA III SSD; you must supply a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from the PSU, and a 2.5" drive bay or adapter bracket.

Which capacity of the V300 series should I pick if I need the 120GB model with SandForce controller and 85,000 IOPS random read?

Choose the SV300S37A/120G — it is the 120GB variant that delivers the listed 85,000 IOPS 4KB random read and 450 MBps sequential speeds.
