I know very little about SSDs other than the fact they're fast. I bought a Samsung 840 EVO for my desktop a few weeks ago to and it's very fast but I'm looking for an SSD for my laptop now. I came across the Kingston v300 120gb on Amazon for $70 shipped and it seems like a good fit for my old 2009 laptop. Question is is will it be as painfully slow as the mechanical drive in there now or will I get a nice boost from the SSD? The reviews on Amazon mention things like Kingston switched the memory they use which makes the drives slower and stuff like that. What's the deal with this drive? I don't care that it's not as good as my EVO as it's going in a laptop I don't use all that often, but I do not want something that's going to be as slow as that POS 5400 rpm mech drive that's in there now.
