Kingston SSDNow V Series SSDs Affordable SSD Kits Make HDD to SSD Upgrades A Breeze

Kingston have announced their new SSDNow V Series SSDs at Computex which
come in 64GB and 128GB capacities and which, apart from being keenly
priced, are tailored specifically to users looking to upgrade from HDD
to SSD storage capabilities for the first time.

The new SSDNow V Series SSDs ( V stands for Value, incidentally) are
billed as 'value driven SSD solutions' and come in kits comprising of
the SSD drive itself (64GB/128GB), Acronis True Image cloning software
(which will assist in getting the contents of your HDD across to the SSD
with comparative ease), 3.5 mounting brackets and hardware with SATA
data and power cables (desktop bundle only) or a 2.5 USB SATA external
enclosure (notebook bundle).
The SSDNow V Series upgrade bundles are a terrific solution —
given the current economy — for cost-conscious consumers who want
an instant performance increase on an existing computer at a very
reasonable price point, said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager,
Kingston. We are trying to garner mass-market adoption of SSDs by
bundling together all of the software, hardware and step-by-step
instructions in a couple of low-cost options aimed squarely at everyday
users. The V Series upgrade bundles are a perfect complement to our
existing line of SSDNow products that target enterprise customers and
prosumers.
