JMicron was one of the first budget SSD controllers to appear on the market. A year ago, if asked for a budget SSD, we would have suggested staying away from JMicron-based SSDs, simply because of their poor performance. Even with their low price, it was still not worth buying SSDs based on the JMicron 602 controller. However, the engineers at JMicron have been doing their homework, and have redesigned the controller. Their latest JM612/JM618 is supposed to have fixed the issues with the older controller.
Kingston's latest SSDNow V 100 is one of the drives that utilize the latest JMicron JM618 controller. The Kingston SSDNow V 100 is an update to the V series targeted toward for mainstream users who need a relatively inexpensive solid state drive. Can the new JMicron controller offer a good value for those who need an SSD on the cheap? Let's find out.

"The WD1002FAEX joins a long line of excellent drives from Western
Digital, and seems to be as good a time as any for bumping up the interface
throughput. Hopefully the push to SATA 6Gb/sec will help drive adoption of
this new standard across the rest of the industry. That said, it did
little to boost performance of this new drive. We may see better
improvements down the road, but we are currently stuck with third party
controllers for this speed grade."
