Kingston Solid State Drive - A Good Choice?

[powerbook911]

Costco online seems to have a pretty good deal on a Kingston 64 GB SSD.

Would this work nicely in a 2009 Mac Mini and/or 2009 MacBook Pro?

I know it's small, but for my applications in these machines, it's probably all I would need, especially in the Mac Mini.

The details are here:

Or would I be much better off getting an OWC drive?

Thank you.

if no one answer then you should try with Samsung, OWC or Intel SSD

I've got a crucial 64GB SSD in my late 2008 macbook it works like a dream, no issues at all.
i have only got lion on it, i drag all third party apps from my WD 1TB ext. HD so as to keep SSD 'tidy' of course over a period it will get clogged with stuff, but i maintain it by clearing 'clutter' from it periodically.
(i run all third party stuff directly from ext.)
so if you want my opinion, then yes go for it.

I have a Kingston 256GB SSD in my iMac and it works great. Not the fastest SSD out there, but much faster than a HD.

The Kingston V+100 uses the same Toshiba controller as the SSDs that Apple uses. Expect similar performance. I have a 96GB model in a 2007 Macbook. It maxes out the 1.5Gbps SATA connection. Seems like the best value drive.

FWIW the same drive seems to be cheaper at NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139421
