Thread: Kingston Toshiba DSS V + '2 '

Kingston and the SSD is a complicated story. The company began offering Intel SSD with his name on the box (the SSDNow M and E, respectively X25-M and X25-E) before proposing a range, V, based on other controllers. And there is more complicated. We found the V 30 GB, based (presumably) on a JMicron controller amended by Toshiba, the V 40 GB Controller-based Intel (X25-V) and V of 64 GB and 128 GB based controller Toshiba which is actually a JMicron. The series V +, more expensive, relies on them on a controller Samsung, the same as the PB22-J (and others).

For its new generation, SSDNow V + '2 ', Kingston will use a controller Toshiba, but different from that of V (to follow). Point JMicron known then, but a chip that would be known as Daikoku 2 and who would bear the TRIM. The SSD in question should be announced next Monday (25). Faster than the current generation, with 230 MB / s read and 180MB / s write, the system in question is expected to reach 512 GB in capacity (at a price to be high).The memory chips used are from Toshiba (the MLC) and the controller has an external cache (as with most manufacturers). It remains to be seen how the SSD behaves at random access of records of small files, even if initial tests show they are at the same levels as the V + in Samsung, so fairly average.
