The Kingston SSDNow V+180 64GB took just 61 seconds to complete our 6GB file copy test with a throughput of 97.3MB/s making it 31% faster than the SSDNow V Series 64GB. Moreover, the SSDNow V+180 64GB was twice as fast as the OCZ Vertex 2 40GB and 2.6 times faster than the OCZ Onyx 64GB. The program copy test is comprised of many small non-compressed files. This is where SSDs often struggle and where early-gen drives are usually slower than traditional hard drives. Our reference Samsung 3.5" desktop hard drive managed to complete the test in 28 seconds making it a fraction faster than the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB. The Kingston SSDNow V+180 64GB also dominated our program file copy test taking just 16.7 seconds, achieving a transfer speed of 84.1MB/s. That made the SSDNow V+ 180 64GB an impressive 45% faster than the SSDNow V Series 64GB and over two times faster than the OCZ Onyx 64GB. The game copy evaluation is comprised of a mixture of small and large files. Again, the Kingston SSDNow V+180 64GB was the fastest budget SSD we’ve tested, taking just 13.1 seconds to complete this task with a throughput of 105.4MB/s. This made the SSDNow V+ 180 64GB roughly 93% faster than the SSDNow V Series 64GB and 80% faster than the OCZ Vertex 2 40GB.
