Ready for everyday computing

The Kingston SSDNow V300 Series delivers 60GB of solid-state storage in a 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA interface. It is aimed at consumers who want a responsive boot drive or a fast secondary volume for a laptop or desktop. Sequential speeds reach up to 450 MBps for both reads and writes. Random performance hits up to 85,000 IOPS on reads and 60,000 IOPS on writes.

Controller tuned for reliability

An LSI SandForce controller customized for Kingston manages the MLC memory to keep performance consistent over time. The drive draws 0.640W at idle, 1.423W during reads and 2.052W during writes, helping battery life in portable systems. MTBF is rated at 1,000,000 hours. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C and storage temperature spans -40°C to 85°C.

2.5 inch SATA drop-in

The standard 2.5 inch SATA connector fits existing drive bays and caddies without adapters. With no moving parts the drive resists shock up to 2.17G peak while operating and 20G peak while powered off. Vibration tolerance covers 7 to 800Hz in use and 10 to 2000Hz at rest. Each unit has been erased to DoD 5220.22 M standard and tested good; up to 25 bad sectors may be present and cosmetic markings can vary.

Questions about this item

How many bad sectors might this V300 60GB drive develop before it needs replacement?

The supplier notes up to 25 bad sectors may be present on these used drives, though they are erased to DoD 5220.22 M standard and tested good.

What write speed limit will appear first during sustained transfers on this SATA III SSD?

Sequential write tops out at 450 MBps, while 4 KB random write reaches 60,000 IOPS; the lower of the two will bound real-world sustained writes.

How much power does the SV300S37A/60G draw and how hot does it run during all-day operation?

Active power is 1.423 W reading and 2.052 W writing; idle drops to 0.640 W. Operating temperature range is 0 °C to 70 °C.
