Kingston SSDNow UV400 240 GiB SSD Review

Conclusions

Analyzing the data obtained on our tests, the first conclusion is that the SSDNow UV400 240 GiB does not present performace drop with uncompressible data, due to its controller that does not rely on data compression to achieve higher speeds.
Another interesting point is that the SSDNow UV400, unlike its competitor, uses a RAM chip as a buffer.
Compared to the SanDisk SSD PLUS 240 GiB, we can say the Kingston SSDNow UV400 240 GiB was on average a little faster, performing better on most of the tests.
So, we believe the SSDNow UV400 240 GiB is a good choice for the home user that is looking for an inexpensive SSD to use as a boot drive for a desktop or laptop. However, because of its technical characteristics, it is not recommended on applications where there is a lot of writing operations everyday, where you need to choose a most expensive drive.
Besides that, even performing decently for the home user, do not expect the same performance of a high-end SSD.
