Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell August 2, 2011 Announcements, Featured Announcement, SSD Drives

I have been using HDTach for many years now and always find it is an invaluable benchmark to ascertain potential levels of performance. HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives (ZIP/JAZZ), flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of the device possible.

Not the best synthetic test for the latest SSD drives, but worth including as a point of interest. The Kingston drive takes third place, behind the ADATA S511 240GB and OCZ Vertex 3 240GB drives.

    Impressive bundle, price isn’t bad for the size. Will they be releasing a 128GB? Obviously I would expect so.

    Excellent, although they are all so good, its really down to the best deal. This one seems actually very competitive.

    OCUK dont seem to have the bundle with theirs though? unless its listed badly.

    First time ive ever seen a company give away a screwdriver, cool idea.

    How much cheaper is the non bundle deal version?

    They put a lot of work into the bundle. I like that software, I bought it last year and its great for switching out drives.

    For those of us with a tighter budget, the Kingston HyperX 120GB 2.5″ SATA-3 Solid State Drive: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-017-KS&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427

    I like their products, good to see them moving out of the value sector in with the big players like OCZ.

    this will drop to under £400 for christmas., probably £370.

    Its too muich for me, but power users will probably buy 2 for raid 0. I think kingston are trying hard to get rid of their stuffy appearance and its working.

    SOmeone else said it, but it is all about price in this sector. they are all very close as can be seen, so the best deal is the one id go for.

    IOMeter results would have been interesting, too, given that Kingston claims the highes IOPS values of any of these sandforce drives.
