“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.”
Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB Solid State Drive Review
Thank you
Kingston
Price
Real World Performance (what really matters).
Quite expensive for a "mid-range" SSD
Not far off the pricing of the Samsung 850 PRO which features 7 years more warranty

Enthusiast level performance, Gorgeous red enthusiast design, 240GB and 480GB relatively affordable
After just a few tests, it's very apparent that the Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SSD is a very worthy performer, replacing Kingston's once mid-range enthusiast favorite HyperX 3K SSD. The Phison PS3110-S10 8-channel controller paired with asynchronous Tos...

Exceptional Value, Bundle Price is Equal to most other prices for Single Drive, Eye Appealing Design, Acronis Software, MultiBit Screwdriver, USB 3.0 Enclosure, 7mm design, 3.5" Backplate, 7 to 9mm extender
No USB 3.0 Cable, 3 Year Warranty, 1.000.000 MTBF
At first glance, I was looking at another SSD but it was still inside the box. Sure, the box that the Kingston HyperX Savage SSD is packaged in is nice but having seen thousands of boxes cross my desk I am not too excited anymore. Then I opened the box ...

The HyperX Savage SSD is probably the best looking SSD around which is quite weird considering most SSDs are low-visibility devices, tucked in inside notebooks and systems. For modders however, the sleek design serves as an inspiration and the red/black t...
Great performance, Sleek and stylish design, Available as SSD upgrade kit or standalone drive
Only a 3 year warranty
When it comes to pure performance this drive is on top of all SATA-based drives when it comes to read speed and at the top when it comes to writes. In ATTO Disk Benchmark (which we used as our definitive benchmark for SSDs) the drive scored read and write...
As Kingston's enthusiast-level product brand, HyperX is definitely making a name for itself with offerings like the Savage SSD. The drive performs just as HyperX claims, and even better in many cases. The Savage SSD not only performs great, but is well-...
Outstanding 566/547 MBps read/write speed with ATTO, Phison controller supports TRIM, NCQ, and Microsoft eDrive, TCG Opal 2.0 security with automatic 256bit AES hardware encryption, 3Year Kingston product warranty support, Offered in 120/240/480/960GB sto
Less impressive IOPS performance, Some manufacturers offer 5years of warranty support
Our first rating is performance, which compares how effective the HyperX Savage SSD performs in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Kingston specifications suggest 560 MB/s maximum reads ...
Great Aesthetics, Low Profile, Great Overclocking Capabilities.
No other Color Options
All in all, we found the HyperX Savage HX318C9SRK2/16 kit to be quite a performance oriented set of memory. While this isn't the cheapest memory kit out on the market, the price is on par with the performance you get from other brands....
High speed, Capacity, Looks, USB 3.1, Backwards compatibility, Multiple size offerings, 5year warranty
Underperforms its rated speeds in some tests
After running the HyperX Savage USB 3.1 drive through the test suite, it's hard not to like this drive. The quote on Kingston's web site is a performance rating of up to 350MB/s read and 250MB/s write. In a couple of tests, it surely got there covering bo...

In a sea saturated with solid state drives from every memory manufacturer under the sun, the Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB is one product that stands out -- literally. It does not strike me as common for an SSD to look good (Not saying they are usually ugl...
