The Phison S10 controller recently gained quite a bit of popularity in the SSD market. 2 months ago, we have reviewed the Patriot Ignite 480GB with the same controller. How will the Kingston version -- with high endurance Toshiba A19 ICs and a super generous bundle -- compare?
On the first of this month Kingston began shipment of their HyperX Drive Utilizing the new SandForce controller. This performance drive comes in two sizes the 120Gb and The 240Gb. Today we will be reviewing the 120Gb HyperX Bundle. Join us as we take a swing at these more than impressive speed boasts.
Every now and again I get the chance to have a product a little ahead of every other reviewer in the world and in some cases, I’ve been able to claim the worlds first review as well. There is however one drive that I’m sure many reviewers are waiting to get their hands on, and thanks to Kingston I’ve been able to get a hands on world, exclusive look at the HyperX Predator 1TB USB3.0 flash drive.
A few months ago I had a look at the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 64GB, which features a build and design that is fairly similar to that of the 1TB drive that I have to play with today, however this is of course a little more special with its HyperX branding and of course the mammoth 1TB capacity.
As opposed to most flash drives that we’ve seen from Kingston, the HyperX Predator 1TB is far more worthy of the typical plastic packaging that is pretty much the standard. Instead, this drive comes in a rather sleek looking metal tin with a fitted foam interior that holds both the drive and the accessories that come with it. Alongside the mammoth 1TB drive, we find a keyring for attaching the drive to a set of keys or hand-cuffs; as after all you really don’t want to be letting this drive out of your sight too soon as I felt whilst I had it in my possession. The other accessory we get is a short USB extension cable which for many users will be a well used accessory due to the fact that the drive is a little wider than a typical USB drive.
We are looking at a brand new high capacity USB stick - running at lightning speed. The
capacity is likely larger than your SSD, but the physical size is much smaller. It's the
Kingston HyperX Predator USB stick with a capacity of 512GB with a official read and
write speed at 240 MB/s and 160MB/s. It's impressive, and is on the same level as a SATA
2.0 SSD.
We've mentioned numerous times in the past that SATA III compatible solid state drives (SSDs) have pretty much maxed out the performance limit of that standard (bandwidth limitations) and although that might be just in maximum read/write data transfer speeds and not continuous/constant ones (that would be nice to see) the end result doesn't really change. PCIe and M.2 based SSDs have surpassed that limitation both in maximum and constant read/write performance for a while now and although the first tend to cost quite a bit more compared to regular SATA III ones while the second are not compatible with older mainboards in the end these drives are a way out for people who are looking for something faster. It may have taken a while for them to do so but Kingston finally released their very own HyperX PCIe and M.2 models inside 2015 and with us today we have the top of the line Predator 480GB M.2 PCIe G2 SSD.
Prey or Predator we put the latest from Kingston to the test. 512GB of fast USB 3.0 portable storage in your pocket.
Kingston's HyperX MAX 3.0 is an external SSD with a USB 3.0 interface that promises reads up to 195MB/s and writes up to 160MB/s. Akin to an over-sized and supercharged thumb drive, it could just be your salvation for a speedy and portable backup solution. Read the full article to see if it performs and wins our hearts.
USB 3.0 products are still new in the market and so far there are only two USB 3.0 products from Kingston; DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 & HyperX Max 3.0. Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 is a pretty unique product as it is an external drive with solid-state flash components instead of traditional HDD and its USB 3.0 interface allows it to achieve 10 times faster speed than USB 2.0 products.
While little pen/flash drives have increased in capacity in recent years, those that want a bit more storage space are still forced with going with portable hard drives, or SSDs. However, if you don't want to utilise a drive of your own, or sort out hard drive cages or covers, the pre-built option is also available. Today we look at such a device from Kingston, the HyperX 64GB Max 3.0 device that utilises USB 3 technology to give it incredibly quick transfer rates with a reasonable capacity behind it too.
Kingston have impressed us recently with many of their products, especially the low cost, high performance SSDNow V100 128GB SSD drive. Today we are looking at their new external storage solution called HyperX MAX 3.0 which utilises the latest USB 3.0 superspeed interface.
