What do you more experienced Storage reviewers think of these new Kingston 128GB SSDNow drives for $233? I've seen the benchmarks, but benchmarks don't tell a person's experience and how the drive's performance feels to them. Is it a huge increase in speed from traditional sata and if so, where do you notice the most performance benefit from an end-user perspective?

I think Kingston uses 5 cell MLC.

My opinions about SSDs are not favourable. See Intel X25-M impressions topic below.

Unsure which series you are looking at...
SSDNow V series is based on the infamous JMicron JMF602 controller
