“Kingston Technology has listened to its customers, delivering the SSDNow V+180 Series,” said Steve Hall, EMEA product development manager of flash, Kingston Technology “Enterprises, SMBs and consumers can upgrade ultra-thin notebooks, certain notebooks and netbooks with a 1.8” form factor to enjoy supercharged performance, enhanced endurance and boosted productivity.”

Independent IT analyst IDC estimates that the number of mobile workers will hit 1 billion by 2011, driven by technology advances such as high speed networking, and the desire for greater work/life balance.[i] Today’s road warriors demand the highest performance and durability in the smallest and most mobile configuration. Kingston’s SSDNow V+180 Series brings speed and endurance to the ultra-portable 1.8” form factor:
Kingston’s SSDNow can out-performs hard disk drives (HDD) by up to five times[ii], enabling boot times up to 60 per cent faster[iii] and allowing users to load, switch and run multiple applications at the same time more effectively.

SSD’s hugely enhanced endurance & ruggedness brings confidence, particularly when users are on the road and away from IT support. The Kingston SSDNow V+ Series is up to eight times more shock-resistant than hard disk drives[iv] and because they have no moving parts, they are less prone to mechanical failures.
Less power-hungry than HDDs, SSDs also enhance battery life, meaning users work faster for longer.
The Kingston SSDNow V+180 is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities, and is the latest addition to the Kingston SSDNow V+ Series family. It is backed by a three-year warranty, 24/7 tech support and legendary Kingston reliability. For more information visit www.kingston.com/europe
