The memory giant is acutely aware that it also needs value-oriented SSDs in the line-up and at COMPUTEX '09 will officially launch the SSDNOW V range. You can work out what the 'V' denotes, right?
Due to ship in 64GB and 128GB capacities, with the option for a notebook-drive pack that includes a 2.5in USB/SATA enclosure, or desktop-bundle set that ships a 2.5in-to-3.5in mounting and SATA data and power extender cables, Kingston's value drives come in at the following prices:

Looking around the Internet, the 64GB
and 128GB pricing seems competitive, knowing that the drives read/write
at 100MB/s and 80MB/s, respectively. Both bundles also ship with
Acronis True Image cloning software, too.
