The sequential read and write performance depeds on the revision of the ssd. Some use asynchronous some synchronous NAND.

You can find the entire article about the difference of the 2 versions here: [URL=http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1360-kingston-v300-asynchronous-vs-synchronous-benchmark?showall=1]http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1360-kingston-v300-asynchronous-vs-synchronous-benchmark?showall=1[/URL]
EDIT: My bad... i did not see that there was a difference in the model sizes. Looks like the 480gb model actually does reach 450mb/s read speeds.
Sadly still not worth it since write speed and IOPS still sucks.
If your not doing Video editing or any task requiring a lot of writes 8+ hours a day, and if you are not running any databases and looking through a bunch of small files continuously. Then it is definitely worth it.
For a gamer who just plays a few games and just browses the internet, this is all you need. For the price per GB this is a great deal even if it has slower writes, it is still of great value, and would probably be the #1 value SSD on the market.
However, it seems like the price is a mistake on part picker and it is actually not that cheap. It's actually $130. So this goes out of the window now.
