The SSDNow V+ Series SSD (SNVP325-S2) from Kingston is their second generation prosumer, performance oriented SSD offered as a standalone drive and with an upgrade kit in capacities up to 512GB. This model supports read speeds up to 230MB/s and write speeds up to 180MB/s. With TRIM support and prices starting under $200 for a 64GB model, this SSD could be the perfect blend of price and performance.

The 128GB SSDNow V+ Series formats with a capacity of 119.24GB, leaving just under 9GB of space for wear leveling or other internal use.


Are you sure about that? When I take into account the fact that Windows displays bytes, kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes as powers of two and not powers of ten like most drive manufacturers do (1024, 1048576, 1073741824 instead of 1000, 1000000, 1000000000) I get 119.21GB. This leaves me to believe that you're actually getting slightly more storage than what was on the label.

(1,000,000,000 / 2^30) X 128 = 119.2092GB according to the operating system.

We are confirming with Kingston right now on the subject of reserved space inside this drive. I took out the sentence in question and will update it when we have a final answer :)
