Kingston SV200S37A/128G SSDNow V200 $79+tax at Staples $54+tax AC

rbk123 · 09-06-2012, 07:54 PM

Didn't see this here but got this from the other site:

Link to SSD : http://www.staples.com/Kingston-SV20...product_651698

Link to list of $25 off $75 coupon codes: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6tN...czA/edit?pli=1

I had to scroll a ways down to get a code that worked but that list has 10,000 codes in it...

Bought 2 of these, even though I, of course, don't need them.

That's a great price... is that a decent SSD drive as far as performance?

dmoney1980 · 09-07-2012, 07:57 AM

not a good performer. If it was the v200+ it would be worth it.

frostedflakes · 09-07-2012, 08:38 AM

For <$0.50/GB it's hard to go wrong, may not be the fastest SSD out there but should be a lot faster than HDD now that Kingston has worked out the kinks with this particular drive. Think I'm going to try one out in my laptop, thanks OP

PokerGuy · 09-07-2012, 09:02 AM

Decided to go ahead and snag one. I figure for the price, even if it's not a great SSD, it's still better than the HDD in the machine now...

Thanks OP.

$57.77 after tax

I got one. My laptop is SATA1 only... so I don't care if it is a great performer.
That's an awesome price.

My laptop grinds on the HDD all the time.

Watch a 1min YouTube video? NOPE. Grind...grind...grind.
Launch any applications? Grind...grind...grind.

Just browsing ATOT, it grinds every 10sec. or so.

Thanks for posting OP... especially the $25 off coupon!
I scrolled half way down and the first one I chose worked.

Snagged one, be sure to update the firmware linked here:

Kinda confused on the 64GB or 128GB part of the name vs description. May not be nearly as hot as you think...

There is a drop down on the right. You can select the size you want.
64gb is ~$55, but can't use the $25 off $75 coupon.

Kingston SV200S37A/128G SSDNow V200 64GB 2.5" SATA III (6 Gb/s) MLC Internal SSD (Solid State Drive)

Does not compute. I see the drop down menu, but there is conflicting data on the original link. It may be just a typo, but I still thought it was worth mentioning.

JonBlack · 09-07-2012, 10:36 PM

Probably a good buy for those who only have SATA2 drives.

mazeroth · 09-08-2012, 09:09 AM

Thanks, OP. I snagged one. Yes, the description is off but the model number is correct. Just order one, it will be fine.

I don't understand everyone needing the absolute fastest SSD on the planet. These things annihilate platter drives, even the old slow ones. I'm running a first gen Intel 40GB in my HTPC and it's almost instant. My main computer has an older 96GB Kingston and I don't think I need Word to load up 0.2 seconds faster for more money.

dmoney1980 · 09-08-2012, 09:55 AM

I just snagged one even though I said it was not a good performer :-) . 128gb SSD for $57.36 (tax+s/h) is a good deal, and I plan on installing this in my wife's laptop. thanks OP

I am kind of debating this myself. For extra $30 you can get Samsung 128GB 830 SSD and call it a day. Big performance difference in Samsung's favor.

dmoney1980 · 09-08-2012, 10:30 AM

where at? cheapest I see is NE at $99

Uppsala9496 · 09-08-2012, 10:41 AM

In for one. Hard to pass up at $57.36.
Don't currently have an ssd so this will be an improvement over my 7200k.

Gillbot · 09-08-2012, 10:42 AM

Thank you for your Order
Order number: xxxxxxxxxx

I did the same thing.haha Bought one for my wifes aging Toshiba with a 80g 5400rpm drive.
For that price it was hard to say no. Thanks OP!

wirednuts · 09-08-2012, 09:46 PM

prices are freefalling... finally

everydae · 09-08-2012, 10:30 PM

I jumped on it few days ago as well. Not the fastest drive, especially since I am already using Crucial M4 as my primary drive, but for the price, I couldn't stop myself from pulling the trigger. lol

Tedtalker1 · 09-11-2012, 11:41 AM

My desktop PC mainboard is only SATA2 so this will be fine for now and much better than my 7200 rpm hard drive. At 46 cents a GB delivered, I couldn't resist. I like the 7mm size also. An ultrabook can only take this size.

Thanks for the heads up RBK

edro · 09-12-2012, 09:18 AM

Got mine today. It said expected delivery date 9/18, but got it today.

Came with bare drive and spacer only.
I was hoping it had cloning software with it.
I'll have to find another source.

rbk123 · 09-12-2012, 10:29 AM

Got mine as well - shipped straight from Kingston. It has the latest firmware (E120506A) so no need to upgrade it.
