second generation
pro: second genration v+ series , faster read/write and TRIM support with APM ( will show temperature now on monitoring tools )con: did not get advertised speed, was only able to get 205 read and 170 write.upgraded from the first generation v series(40gb) without TRIM support.wanted to upgrade to this because i'm running windows 7 now.currently only windows 7 and windows 2008 r2 supports trim.

Kingston SSD V+512GB
This drive represents the most profound and best computer upgrade I have made since my first computer purchase in 1987! It is by far the most satisfying experience of anything I have ever encountered in any computer - except for maybe larger LCD monitors. The boot-up time is just awesome and ditto for application launch times. What can I say? I now know that moving hard drives will one day be a thing of the past - hands down! I can't wait for a 2 TB SSD at a price point below $300. I'm sure it will come one day. After this experience, I know that spinning hard drives will go the way of the floppy discs from years ago. I expect to use this NAND based drive for the next 50+ years before the memory cells deteriorate - longer than any hard drive would ever last. I replaced the Toshiba drive that came with my new 2010 15" MacBook Pro i7 with this SSD.

Good Device, Other Options Can Bet Better
As a consumer SSD for end-user workstation the V and V+ series SSD's from Kingston are great replacements for boot drives in both laptops and desktops. We have bought several and been happy with all of them.I withheld one star on the review, solely because of the write speed when compared to other devices within 10% of the cost. Not a knock on Kingston, just a comment on comparative performance. Read speed is totally in line with similar models from other manufacturers.The V+ SSD matched the performance specs quoted in my tests, although there were some interesting variances in the drive performance graph.I use different PC's with at least one of these devices everyday for about the last 6 months and I have had no issues with performance or reliability.
