Product Description

Kingston's HyperX SSD combines the latest SandForce controller technology with premium NAND Flash, reducing load times while increasing performance and endurance. It provides high-speed SATA Rev 3.0 (6Gb/s) transfer speeds for larger bandwidth, which power users require for advanced gaming, multitasking and multimedia computing power. Kingston's HyperX SSD lets users load games and applications faster, increase frames per second (FPS) and quickly transfer and edit large media files. It's cool, silent and requires less power with no additional cooling requirements. When configuring the HyperX SSD partition, the user can choose between having the maximum available capacity for data storage, or give up a little space to increase performance and endurance. This additional space is called over provisioning1 on an SSD. The amount of performance and endurance increase depends upon the type of data being stored on the HyperX SSD. The more data that is MPEG, JPG, ZIP, ARC, file types, the greater the benefit for this increased over provisioning. HyperX SSD is covered by a three-year warranty and backed by 24/7 live technical support and legendary Kingston reliability.

22 of 28 people found the following review helpful Drive failed in under 24 total hours of use, September 22, 2011 By  Sam - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Kingston HyperX 120GB SATA III 2.5-Inch 6.0 Gb/s Solid State Drive with SandForce Technology SH100S3/120G (Personal Computers) If your looking at buying one of these then you know what it has to offer. I'll get straight to the point with this review. I bought the OCZ Vertex 3 SSD a few weeks ago and suffered from the same BSOD errors and crashes everyone else was suffering from. I did everything possible to get the drive to work to no avail and eventually returned it. I was a bit worried with trying Kingston's HyperX drive out because their nearly identical except the firmware differ. I'm real happy to say that there have been no issues for the last 4 hours of use. The Vertex 3 didn't even last 30 minutes. I did everything exactly the same with both the Vertex 3 and the HyperX. I plan on updating this review often to inform anyone else curious about the errors. If I get any, I will report them here. This is my current set-up: Alienware m17x R3 2nd gen i7-2720 Quad Core 12GB RAM 120GB HyperX SSD Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 Clean install, no...

It's getting well over the claimed 525+ read speeds, with write speeds around 480+. This drive is extremely fast and haven't experienced any freezing or other issues posted by others. Prior to this I had a Vertex 2 SSD and got maybe 180 read speeds, even though it claimed 250. I'm not hating the vertex 2 for being slower, it was Sata2, but to me a drive should match what is advertised. The HyperX does and even exceeds it, a very pleasant surprise. Installation was a breeze, applications and files load instantly, it's a dream to work on. It's very expensive, but there aren't many SATA3 drives offering this combo of read/write speeds for near this price. I'll be 'abusing' this drive later tonight with benchmarks and stress tests, see if I can make it flinch or freeze or give me any reason to change an otherwise *perfect* drive review.

This review is from: Kingston HyperX 240GB SATA III 2.5-Inch 6.0 Gb/s Solid State Drive with SandForce Technology SH100S3/240G (Personal Computers) This SSD is great. SSD's still cost a lot, but for the performance and stability associated with this drive, it is the clear choice of any Sandforce-based drives out there. I do not have any Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) issues so many users have with, what appears to be, every other brand of Sandforce-based SSD. My Windows 7 Hard Drive Performance is rated at 7.9! It claims my RAM is now my computer's bottleneck at 7.8 :) I bought the 240GB bare drive kit and it includes a 3.5" mounting plate adapter and the bare SSD drive. I paired this drive with a new intel-based computer. My new computer consists of ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe - LGA 1155 - Z68 - SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 - ATX Intel Z68 DDR3 2200 Motherboards, 16GB DDR3 RAM,...
