It has been lower yes, but not currently at OcUK. I'm just saying, as I have this drive, that is a good solid performer for the price.
Kingston SSD Deal. Very sweet!!

Seems like some competitors are catching on, just had an email from one of them with a Samsung 830 128GB for 79.99 .....

Is the Samsung worth the extra money though?
i have the regular v200 version and i boot in 21 seconds (timed using bootracer which waits for all disk io activity to stop) but thats counting
gigabyte bios splash screen
bios POST screen
raid controller bios thing where it detects my drives
me pressing enter to choose which os i want to boot into
neither are those benchmarks you link to true to life either which is why they are reffered to as synthetic.Thats the V200 mate, not the V+200
The Chap who posted this post posted V200 results and tried to claim that its faster than the V+200One obscure result showing a test that doesnt represent true to life performance does not constitute for a slow drive being quicker than a fast one.
The V+200 found in this thread HERE shows that it is faster than all similar drives such as the Agility 3, S510, Force 3 etc and is most cases seems to trade blows with the likes of the Vertex 3 and S511 etc
its in a completely different league to the V200.
its interesting in the real world the v200 has file copy times much faster than the v+200 though.
in reality on a day 2 day basis i doubt anyone would notice a difference if someone broke into their house and swapped a v+200 for a v200

If your willing to spend the extra money than yes ! Better quality, higher life expectancy and 8GB more space than the kingston... plus the Samsung name
v200
windows must have optimised my boot order or something :S
better life expectancy as in what? lifessd will probably show all decent ssds as having 8-10years expectancy and kingston isnt known for a high failure rate
if i didnt already have a v200 i would probably go with the v+200 from ocuk , not because of any speed difference but because its a lot easier to get support from ocuk than the competitor and i spend more time on these forums than any other etailer.

This is why once a drive has everything installed even an 100Mb/s drive due to access times etc will feel as fast as a 500Mb/s drive.

Less than an hour to go folks
Get your plastic ready
Get your plastic ready
anyway as i said people who spend time on these forums and like the suport you can depend on from ocuk may aswell buy the v+200 from here
no one is going to notice a difference between either drives in the realworld so choose the etailer you think offers the best service
)You don't get a data cable (f that's what you mean) with most SSDs.
