Introduction

The solid-state disk (SSD) market will soon be reinvigorated when
Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 operating system hits the retail shelves.
SSD manufacturers are acutely aware of the Windows 7 effect and will
launch renewed campaigns highlighting the multifarious
benefits of SSDs when compared to traditional hard drives.
Prices, however, haven't dropped by as much as we'd hoped. A quality
64GB drive - close to the minimum size for a full operating system and
associated programs - continues to hover over £100.
Kingston's
SSD
Now value-oriented series bucked
the trend by coming in at
£99 for a 64GB model, complete with backup software and, in
the
case of the notebook kit, a 2.5in USB caddy. As we found out in our
review, performance was distinctly average.
The memory manufacturer is now back with a performance drive that
should give the competition a run for their money. Priced at
£135
for a 64GB model, the SSD Now
+ is
under the review
spotlight.
