Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 128GB Drive Review

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

The HyperX Max 3.0 drive under USB 3.0 conditions delivers an average of around 190 MB/s read and 155 MB/s write. This drops to around 34MB/s read and 30 MB/s write when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. This translates to around a 460% read speed increase and a 416% write speed increase, much in line with the other synthetic testing earlier.

  1. Holy Snit batman, thats a performance USB drive and a half ! I need to gets me a USB 3 controller 🙁

  2. Damn, thats another great product from Kingston. Excellent drive, toshiba controller is proven too, good choice.

  3. This is a great idea, only problem is, people in work etc, will more than likely be stuck on USB 2 machines for eons. so unless you are just using it for single machine or offline backups, its expensive !

  4. Well this is rather sexy innit? the usb 3 drives ive seen reviewed so far were lucky to hit 100MB so this is vastly superior. nice work Kingston.

  5. USB 2.0 really does need replacing. ive an old 500gb USB 2.0 drive and its facking painful to back up files. I normally do it overnight when im kipping. Look forward to one of these, but it will be a while as I just bought a motherboard a few months ago.

  6. Spend £15 on a USB 3.0 controller, best way to get usb 3 without forking out 150 quid again for a motherboard.

  7. Awesome, im buying a 64gb for my documents. any rough time for retail? mid dec? start? dec 2011? lol

  8. I think this is the first time ive really seen usb 3.0 external drives really shine with the performance. excellent performance results.

  9. massive gains over USB 2.0 very nice for an external drive
