Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD Review

AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

We have included some results with other drives from previous reviews, tested on the same system configuration.

Very strong results from the Kingston HyperX 240GB drive, scoring over 508 MB/s in the sequential read test.

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

  2. 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.

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

    How much cheaper is the non bundle deal version?

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. Thanks fisshy, thats much more realistic. for me anyway.

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

  8. 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.

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