Kingston SSDNow V100 (SV100S2D/128GZ)
 

JMicron was one of the first budget SSD controllers to appear on the market. A year ago, if asked for a budget SSD, we would have suggested staying away from JMicron-based SSDs, simply because of their poor performance. Even with their low price, it was still not worth buying SSDs based on the JMicron 602 controller. However, the engineers at JMicron have been doing their homework, and have redesigned the controller. Their latest JM612/JM618 is supposed to have fixed the issues with the older controller.

Kingston's latest SSDNow V 100 is one of the drives that utilize the latest JMicron JM618 controller. The Kingston SSDNow V 100 is an update to the V series targeted toward for mainstream users who need a relatively inexpensive solid state drive. Can the new JMicron controller offer a good value for those who need an SSD on the cheap? Let's find out.
