Zitat: award Pro: + Available in 120GB and 240GB capacities + Excellent sequential read and write speeds + SATA 6Gb/s interface + Synchronous NAND flash + Supports SMART, TRIM and Garbage Collection + Standalone drive includes a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket + Available as a bundle with the HyperX Upgrade Kit + Good looking and well constructed design + 3 year warranty Contra: - Not as fast when writing incompressible data - Pricey With the HyperX SSD, Kingston has made its long awaited entrance into the high-performance SSD market. Targeted at enthusiasts, gamers, and performance users, this new SSD combines the latest SandForce SF-2281 controller with Intel´s 25nm synchronous NAND flash. As you´d expect, this combination produced some impressive performance numbers. In our sequential read and write tests, the HyperX was able to read at speeds as high as 559 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 460 MB/s. It also performed very well when doing random writes, delivering more than 72,000 IOPS. Impressive performance isn´t the only thing the HyperX has to offer either. Along with a great looking design, the SSD is available as a standalone drive or as part of an upgrade kit for easy installation. As usual, performance like this doesn´t come cheap. The 120GB HyperX Upgrade Kit reviewed here currently retails for about $250. You can save about $10 by buying the standalone drive . However, if you´re truly on a budget, the OCZ Vertex 3 or Corsair Force Series GT may be a better choice as both can be picked up for around $200. The price of the 240GB HyperX actually is more in line with the SSDs from the competition. However, with the price of the standalone drive starting at around $450, it´s still a considerable investment.

Zitat: Pro: + Zeer snel + Stijlvol uiterlijk + Uitgebreid pakket aan accessoires Contra: - Hoge prijs, waar je echter wél veel voor terugkrijgt Kingston kwam bij de vorige ronde SSD´s die we getest hebben niet bijzonder goed uit de verf, eigenlijk zelfs vrij matig. Ditzelfde kan bij de huidige ronde niet gesteld worden, want de Kingston HyperX is een écht snelheidsmonster geworden. In onze tests weet de HyperX in zo goed als elke test een nieuw record te zetten. Dat mag ook wel, want de HyperX is aanzienlijk duurder dan bijvoorbeeld de OCZ Vertex 3, welke overigens wel over dezelfde controller beschikt, maar qua prestaties echt niet kan opboksen tegen de HyperX. Als je prestaties hoog in het vaandel hebt staan, dan heb je met de HyperX zeker een goede optie. Je betaalt meer, maar je krijgt er ook zeker wat voor terug, namelijk ongeëvenaarde prestaties.
