Kingston HyperX Savage EXO 480GB External SSD review

 

The Savage EXO ships in a sturdy compact box with an image of the drive on the front, along with sequential read and write speeds and information stating that it uses 3D NAND and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface. In the bottom left hand side of the box is a panel displaying the drives compatibility with Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One and PS4.

The rear of the box has another image of the drive at the top under which sits a multilingual “SSD Speed On The Go” marketing message. Under this message is a small window that displays the sticker on the back of the drive where you will find the drives capacity.

The capacity is show again on the sticker in the bottom right hand side of the box along with its serial number.

 
One side of the box has a QR code which you can use to scan for more information about the drive while the other side has a group of icons displaying the systems the drive is compatible. Under this sits a list of the box contents in English and French.

 

Kingston's HyperX Savage EXO is a really slim line drive measuring just 123.82 x 48.61 x 10.24mm and weighing in at a mere 56g.

 
Sitting next to the USB 3.1Gen 2 Type-C interface is a tiny white drive activity LED.

The box bundle comprises USB Type C to A and USB Type C to C cables and a couple of HyperX marketing cards. One has images of all the types of products that make up the HyperX family with a welcome message on the back while the other card has a multilingual message where to get support for the drive.



The drive is supported by Kingston's SSD Manager utility.  It displays drive health, status and how the disk capacity is being used and it also enables the updating of firmware.
