Kingston just announced its first SandForce-based solid state disks, they feature a SATA 6Gbps interface and use 25nm NAND flash memory from Intel. And check out the new user configurable over provisioning option.

The specifications promise sequential read speeds of up to 525MB/s and write speeds as high as 480MB/s. Sustained random 4K read/write performance is 20,000 / 60,000 IOPS for the 120GB unit and 40,000 / 60,000 IOPS for the 240GB model, while max random 4K read/write performance is 95,000 / 70,000 IOPS and 95,000 / 60,000 IOPS, respectively.

Shipping in 120GB and 240GB capacities, the HyperX SSD is based on SandForce SF-2281 controllers featuring SATA Rev 3.0 (6Gb/s). It allows for incredible sequential read/write throughputs of 525/480MB/s, IOPS of 40,000/60,000 (240GB), and SandForce DuraClass
