HyperX Solid State Drives
 |
In 2002, Kingston Technology split off their high-performance product division and gave it the HyperX brand. The division started developing high speed DDR memory with a focus on overclocking.
Ten years later, they started branching out into flash memory, starting with the Predator USB drive and eventually moving into solid state drives. Today, they boast four SSD families in increasing price and performance points :
-
HyperX Fury - high performance at a low price
-
HyperX 3K - extreme performance
-
HyperX Savage - extreme performance with higher capacities
-
Predator - PCIe SSDs for ultimate performance
Today, we are going to review the 240 GB member of the HyperX Savage SSD family, which boasts the following features :
Performance - Incredible speeds for enhanced productivity
Unique design - Stunning red casing to give an edge to the latest PC hardware
Slim - 7mm thickness to fit in most desktops and notebooks
Fast and easy migration - All-in-one kit available with premium HyperX accessories, including a handy multi-kit screwdriver and USB 3.0 enclosure for easy installation
Guaranteed - Three-year warranty and free technical support
The 240 GB HyperX Savage SSD is really the second smallest drive in the family, but arguably the model offering the best value for your money :
