I think this review needs to be updated to reflect how Kingston changed the ssd from what they sent out for reviewing to what is being sold now. It’s a big story that this website should have caught onto but it appears not. Instead I shall share with you a link to some up to date information.

A follow-up review on the current asynchronous version might be helpful.

In reply to Diagrafeas. I have same issue, 506 is significantly slower. Can someone check it? Or retest with new FW will be more than helpful.

I have two 120GB V300s.
The first has 505 firmware which works at it should.
The second has 506 firmware and is way slower.
Could you check a new one with 506 to see if there are differences or is something wrong with mine?
