Kingston 64GB SV100S2/64GZ -- 73.99 AR -- Newegg

[JerYnkFan]

Newegg has the Kingston SSDNow V100 Series SV100S2/64GZ SSDon sales for 73.99 after a 40.00 MIR. I picked one up. Might not be the fastest, but not too bad at that price.

Rebate is good through 2/13/11

Probably the JMF618 controller. Not too bad. They sure don't pump up the performance numbers like the Sandforce based drives, but you also don't hear the horror stories either (dying in a few weeks, unable to S3 sleep).

Price seems to be $79,99 after MIR, still decent though.

Kingston doesn't differentiate between the the 64gig model and the larger faster 128gig model in their listed technical specs for power consumption.

this model is listed as consuming 6 watts max.
it looks like only the 128+ consume a max of 6 watts
the 64 is at a max of about 4

if you are putting your ssd in a laptop, i think risk it and pay ~100 for the sandforce

Oh so close to my cut off of 1$/gig for one of these. Well I may get in one one in a month or so. Nice deal though Thanx

Please when you are researching SSD first research how SSD work, Over provisioning, RAISE or similar technologies, Nand used on those SSD's and PE/c / Density and then lastly the price Vs GB ratio...this GB Vs price ratio really is something dreamt up by reviewers who have placed it high on the 'must read" list but in reality it counters how SSD work and ultimately can cause issues.

wonder if 2 of these raided would be worth the premium over their cheap 128gb...

GB vs price for many is really the most important factor. For me personally I don't care if the drive reads has 300 MB Sequential reads or 200 MB ones, when the cost of adoption is just too high for the amount of data I need to store
