Pricing
We’ve seen a great performance from the Kingston HyperX Savage on the previous pages and you might expect it to cost a fortune. But if you do, you’re mistaken. You can pick up one of these great 240GB drives at NewEgg for just $122.99, Overclockers UK for £114.98, or find a great deal trough Geizhals starting at €117.26.
Conclusion
Kingston created the HyperX division for their enthusiast products and the Savage SSD deserves its place in that division. The drive has just as great external optics as it has quality internal components.
The HyperX Savage performed great and showed us an impressive performance. While it didn’t top out in all the charts, on the overall scale it won over any other SATA3 based drive I’ve tested so far. We saw sequential performance up to 557MB/s reading and 530MB/s writing.
The real strength lies within the random performance and how well the drive deals with incompressible data, and it does both incredibly well. Anvil’s tests showed us an impressive incompressible performance of 75K IOPS read and 84K IOPS write while IOmeter impressed with 92K IOPS read and 93K IOPS write.
The drive also comes with a good endurance rating for over a complete drive write per day and it is covered by Kingston’s 3-year warranty and support.
The Savage also comes with a great package, including the easy to used cloning software that you can run directly from windows. You don’t need to create complicated usb boot drives or other things like that. You just install it, select source and target and wait. You also get 3.5-inch and 9.5mm adapters and a HyperX sticker for your case.
Pros
Cons
“Kingston’s HyperX Savage SSD is the drive for you if want what very well could be the best SATA3-based consumer drive available. Impressive Performance and a great bundle.”
