Kingston's SSDNow V Series kits, available in 128GB and 64GB capacities, offer almost instant performance gains and power consumption reductions on existing desktops and laptops - but at a price. The price of SSDs are tumbling, but IDE and SATA storage is still by far the better value. For instance, a Western Digital Scorpio Blue (320GB, 5400rpm, 8MB cache) laptop drive can be purchased for as little as =A362.40/$86.99 and a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (1.5TB, SATA-II, 32MB cache) desktop drive comes in at just under =A395/$119. But besides Kingston's best efforts, value isn't the strongest selling point of the SSDNow V Series Kit.
