"Kingston released the new SandForce SF-2200 based SSDNow V+200, replacing the Toshiba-powered SSDNow V+100, and bumping speeds to take advantage of SATA 6.0Gb/s interfaces. The new V+200 will be available in a wide range of capacities, including 60, 90, 120, 240, and 480GB versions with peak read speeds topping out at 535MB/s and write speeds of 480MB/s. With a three-year warranty, Kingston is pricing these drives to start at $140 for the 60GB model and maxing out at $985 for the 480GB version...The SSDNow V+200 is aimed at small businesses and consumers who want a low-cost high-performance SSD. Compared to the SSDNow V+100 before it, this is a huge upgrade in the performance category. All the Kingston SSDNow V+200 models will include Intel 25nm asynchronous NAND, which will be comparable to OCZ Agility 3 and Corsair Force 3 models." -via Storagereview
