Here, the newer Kingston drive is faster than the first-generation model in all but the sequential-read test.
From looking at the benchmarks thus far, it would be next to impossible to tell the difference between it and the Corsair X128 - a drive that's powered by a rival Indilinx controller.
They both cost over £300 for the 128GB models, though, making them, in our view, luxury hardware.
