• TRIM SupportThe Kingston SSDNow V+180 offers TRIM support than can be enabled in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

• Highly effective Garbage CollectionFor those operating systems not supporting TRIM, The Kingston SSDNow V+180 solid-state drive features highly effective Garbage Collection to ensure maximum performance over time.
