Hey! Can someone help me and tell me witch one is better? but lets not consider price diffrence, im curios about performance
 
Solution
They are both similar in most aspects being Tier 1 drives. Only difference being, the Kingston uses 176 layers of Micron NAND and has a slightly higher write speed of 7k mbps while the WD has 112 layers of SanDisk NAND with 5.3k mbps write speed. Theoretically the Kingston drive might look a bit better but in day to day operations you won't find much difference. Also, Kingston uses the more popular Phison E controller while WD uses a proprietary one.
