Kingston's first mention in
StorageSearch.com's SSD news
pages was in February 2007 - when - under the headline
"Kingston
Lukewarm about SSD Market" - we learned that Kingston didn't want to
be in the SSD market at all - as they said the SSD market was too small.
Despite
that initial hesitation - 2 years later - Kingston had entered the SSD market -
as it was listed on our
SSD
companies list which numbered 99 companies in February 2009 - as
you can see by clicking on the link to that archived page.
InJanuary
2009 - Kingston announced it will sell rebranded high speed SSDs supplied by
Intel as Kingston's
SSDNow E Series.
In July 2010 -
Kingston's SSD
marketers launched a
competition to learn how users might really benefit from using their SSDs.
It involved uploading a video with the theme "How Can a Kingston®
SSDNow Drive Change Your Life?". 1st prize was $7,500.
Branding Strategies
in the SSD Market have varies considerably - but compared to some of the
silly examples seen in the
consumer SSD market
- that wasn't the worst.
In June 2011 -
Kingston Technology
joined the
SandForce
Driven SSDs group - bringing the membership (at that time) upto 30 companies. |
