Kingston’s new 2.5-inch SATA drive named SSDNow V is meant to cover a specific area of storage devices. It’s a 40GB boot drive and it isn’t intended to be used as a traditional primary storage. Its destination is that of a system drive, able to speed up the operating system and critical applications as well. It’s inexpensive enough to be paired with a second rotating disk drive, much larger, that would handle common storage and applications. The speed of the new drive is 170MB per second for reading and 40MB per second for writing and, even if not the fastest, it’s still almost four times faster than a conventional drive.

The SSDNow V drive ships on November 9th and will be available in two versions. The first one is for notebooks, priced at $115. The second one is presented in a 3.5-inch mounting bracket provided with extenders to have attached a main board’s power and SATA cables, priced at $130.
