    Have you used??? I have one in a Gen7 and works beautifully. Internet review don't mean a think unless you know what are your bottlenecks (transfer speeds between clients and servers)

      It's still a slow SSD whether you can notice a difference or not, I'd rather http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SanDisk-SSD-PLUS-2-5-240GB-SATA-3… instead

        With all due respect, unless the buyer of the fastest SSD in the market can follow the steps below, then the potential speed that you can get out of any SSD is a pointless measure.
        - install the SSD into a SATA3 port
        - install at least 16GB of RAM (8GB should be ok if you motherboard doesn't accept more)
        - set Virtual Memory to No paging file
        - set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1
        - disable System Restore
        - disable Write-caching policy
        - disable Scheduled defragmentation
        - disable Java Temporary File Settings
        - disable Web Content Cache
        … cannot remember the rest any more, too late now.

  I would wait for the BX100 to go on sale again, the historical low price was $109 delivered. This deal has happened twice already, so there's a good chance it'll go on sale again.

  I hope this isn't the update version http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingston-ssd… most likely is though

  "AS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Read: Old: 475MB/s, New: 170MB/s"

    It says the read speed is 450 on the page

      What page are you referring to?

      Anyway, Kingston never changed the product name or description despite changing the NAND in the drive and making it seriously slow. Read the anandtech article linked above if you want to understand.

      There is a difference between what they say and reality. The Kingston site still advertises 450mb/s on the new model. Refer to the article I posted-the updated version when tested reached 170mb/s at maximum.

      I was lucky to get the old version but I ordered mine over 2 years ago. Others I know haven't been so lucky and they're painfully slow.

      Kingston doesn't deserve your money, they pulled off this unethical trick just to save a few dollars in production costs without informing the consumer that they've switched to using crappier memory.

      And besides, this is far from the best 240gb SSD deal there is. This was less than $98 delivered on several occassions.
