Kingston HyperX SSD 240GB review
The Kingston HyperX SSD 240GB is the memory company's top-of-the-range solid-state drive, promising incredible performance.
Whichever way you cut it, the Kingston HyperX SSD 240GB is one fast SSD. In our tests it had read speeds nudging 500MB/s, as quick as the Patriot Wildfire that uses the same SandForce SF2281 controller, yet had faster write speeds of 308MB/s. In IOPS...

Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 review
What do you get when you combine fast storage technology with a very fast connection standard? It ought to be a blazingly fast way to move your files around on a speedy drive.
If you have the ports and the cash, the Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 is a very handy way to store and zip around data at high speed.

Kingston HyperX 240GB Review
Kingston joins the SandForce SSD party, with a big bundle of extras.
Despite its excellent performance, the Kingston HyperX 240GB finds itself in an incredibly crowded market, not just for SSDs, but also for the SandForce controller. OCZ, Corsair, Patriot, ADATA and half a dozen other partners also offer near identical...

Kingston Technology HyperX 240GB SSD
Review Following OCZ's great success with its SandForce SF2281-based [1] Vertex 3 solid-state drive, it seems everyone is jumping on the SandForce bandwagon now. I recently tested Patriot Memory's Wildfire SSD from, and today I have the latest addition...
So, for the all-out enthusiast who must have the latest and greatest, the HyperX is going to be a worthy contender. However, if you’re simply looking to boost the performance of older hardware, perhaps there could be wiser investments to be made in the...

Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD Review
There certainly has been a lot activity in the Solid State drive market recently, with every company imaginable trying to be part of the SandForce
Very Fast for a 25nm based drive ; Great accessory options via different SKU's ; Reasonable price for this market niche ; Great Looks ; 5K not 3K erase cycle NAND ; Upgrade Kit version includes everything you could imaginably need
Upgrade Kit SKU is pricey ; USB enclosure included with upgrade kit is USB 2.0 not USB 3.0 enabled ; While this drive has the life expectancy similar to that of a Toggle Mode NAND drive, it does not have the performance of one
The Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD is one impressive SSD. Everything from its competitive price to the bleeding edge performance numbers it

Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD Review
Kingston have released their first SATA3 SSD under the HyperX brand. Boasting up to 525MB/s Read and 480MB/s transfer rates, is this the best SATA 3 SSD out there?
Looks great ; Extremely fast transfer rates ; TRIM support ; Very useful upgrade kit
Cost
With the introduction of SATA3 it has paved the way for price-drops on SATA2 SSDs, in many cases allowing you to invest in an SSD for less than £1 per GB – but those who demand the best transfer speeds 200MB/s just isn't enough. SATA3 brings in...

Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD Review
There has been a bustle of activity in recent months within the Solid State Drive market. OCZ led the way with the latest revision of Sandforce powered drives, followed by other manufacturers such as ADATA and Corsair.
Performance is class leading.
240GB drives are only for the wealthy audience.

Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 SSD review
The Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 SSD is suitable for anyone who wants a durable drive that can be used to transport data to and from work or to a client's premises. It's not blazingly fast, but it's faster than conventional pocket-sized drives. However,...
The bottom line is, if you want a portable drive that's durable (i.e. has no moving parts) and capable of taking advantage of the speed that USB 3.0 provides, then the Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 should be considered. However, with a massive price per...
