PRODUCT DISCONTINUED – FOR INFORMATION ONLY

Dramatically increase the performance

of existing systems.

For more than 20 years, users have relied on Kingston

Technology to help them save millions by extending the

life of existing computers with memory upgrades. Now

Kingston® introduces its second-generation SSDNow V

Series drive to help organizations of all sizes and consumers

enhance the performance of computers with a Serial ATA

(SATA) interface and thus extend their lifecycle.

Adding a solid-state drive to a desktop already using

a standard hard disk drive is a smart and ecient way

to upgrade. Transferring the operating system and

applications from the HDD to the SSD allows the solid-

state drive to be used as a bootable drive that takes full

advantage of the speed of the Flash-based technology.

The SSD and the HDD then co-exist to drive optimal

performance in the upgraded desktop.

For notebooks, SSDNow drives are a perfect replacement

for hard drives, resulting in faster, more reliable performance.

Making this change will improve a notebook’s eciency in

a wide range of tasks, from booting up to running the most

robust operating system and demanding applications.

SSDNow uses a standard SATA interface but, unlike a regular

HDD, SSD is very rugged and built with no moving parts,

making it ideal for power users and road warriors who

push the limits of their notebooks. Other benets include

reduced power usage, less noise and less heat generation.

SSDNow V Series drives oer performance gains and

power consumption reductions at a fraction of the cost of

a new system. For added peace of mind, they’re backed

by 24/7 tech support, a three-year warranty and legendary

Kingston reliability.
