240GB SATA III internal SSD

The Kingston SSDNow V300 delivers 240GB of storage through a SATA III interface in a 2.5 inch form factor. It uses an LSI SandForce controller customized for Kingston and is rated for up to 450 MB/s sequential read and write speeds. The drive targets consumers looking for an affordable upgrade from a 7200RPM hard drive.

7mm height fits standard bays

At 7.00mm thick the drive fits typical laptop and desktop 2.5 inch bays without adapters. The combo bundle kit includes the components needed for installation so the drive can be dropped into an existing SATA port and power connector. No moving parts mean silent operation and resistance to shock during transport.

Steady power draw under load

Idle consumption is 0.640W while active read draws 1.423W and write draws 2.052W. The drive is rated for an operating range of 0°C to 70°C and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. Random performance reaches up to 85,000 IOPS read and 43,000 IOPS write for sustained workloads.

Questions about this item

When does the 240GB drive hit its write-speed ceiling during long transfers?

Sequential write tops out at 450 MB/s and random write at 43,000 IOPS, so sustained heavy writes will level off at those rates.

How much heat and power does the 2.5" SATA SSD produce when running all day?

Active power peaks at 2.052 W during writes and 1.423 W during reads; idle drops to 0.640 W, and the drive is rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation.

What do I already need in my PC for this 240GB SATA III kit to work?

A free 2.5" drive bay or adapter, a SATA data cable, and a SATA power connector from the PSU.
