Awesome. Going to pick up a 256GB ssd soon I reckon. It's worth keeping in mind the Samsung drives are dropping in price also. Im not certain on how well those Kingston's are rated.

Wouldn't get one of these, spend the extra few quid and get the Samsung. The Review above was for the first batch made by Kingston, then they switched the manufacture base to china and the drive since have not been great..... see negative reviews on amazon

Even that review wasn't so hot - at less than half the read speeds of the Samsung.
