kingston v+200 vs samsung 830

It´s time to buy a new hard drive for my macbook pro mid 2010. I search some time for ssd drives and choose this 2 hard drives:

1- Samsung 830 120gb

2- Kingston v+200 120gb

This ssd are sata 3 but my macbook is only sata 2 and i don´t know the real speed of this hard drives.

Somebody use the same ssd in your mac or witch the best hard drive ?


Thanks, congrats

G'day and welcome to the forums.

The SSD's will be backwards compatible however have had bad luck with 2 KingstonV200 drives failing. Best results have been with OWC Mercury Extreme drives. Had three in Mac Pros and never a failure.

i'm from Portugal, and this hard drives are complicated to find :/ If i buy this in USA i pay very much for customs LAX.

the Samsung 830 is better.

My friend buy a Samsung 830 and speeds is 200mb/s write 250mb/s read in data 2. But in kingston website the speeds of v+200 are 260mb/s write and 280mb/s read on sata 2. It will be that speed in the reality.
