1.0 out of 5 stars Failure upon cold start and beyond, July 18, 2010

This review is from: Kingston SSDNow V Series 30 GB SATA 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SNV125-S2/30GBKR (Electronics)

Fails upon cold start. It BSOD's the system right off the bat. Once it restarts, it boots up fine. It certain seems to like working when it's warm. Intermittently corrupts system files temporarily and permanently. Permanent corruptions disable Windows 7 capabilities which may vary. I lost the Windows Network Diagnostics ability and therefore lost the ability to log on to my own wireless network. Windows would not allow me to input my WEP code due to corruption. Temporary corruptions result in slow performance and in buggy crashing environments. Devices also become disabled or do not function properly. Put your money elsewhere. It's a cheap and affordable ssd and for a reason. You get what you pay for. This calls for an RMA.
