MUMBAI, INDIA: Kingston, has announced its latest addition to the SSDNow V300 series, the V310. The Kingston SSDNow V310 solid-state drive boosts system responsiveness while also offering 960GB capacity to store all movies, music, games, files and applications.

The new SSDNow V310 is 10x faster than a 7200RPM hard-disk drive1 as a result of the Phison 3108 controller and 450MB/s read and write speeds2. With no moving mechanical parts, SSDNow V310 is shock-proof, uses less energy and stays cool making it more reliable and less likely to fail than standard hard-disk drives.

The SSDNow V310 drive will be available in India by the next month, either as a stand-alone drive or as all-in-one kits that include all the accessories needed plus software to clone files and OS to make for an easy install. The drive will be backed by a three-year warranty, free technical support and reliability.
