  • The Kingston HyperX MAX 3.0 drive is an extremely fast and portable storage solution for those that have the USB 3.0 hardware to support it. While thumb drives may be more cost effective, they cannot match the raw speed of Kingston's diminutive yet r...

  • Solid performance (even without a special driver), Highest sequential write speeds seen to date, Nicely constructed
  • Not as portable as a thumb drive
  • The cast aluminum enclosure was very well made and does an excellent job of protecting the internals, as well as dissipating any heat generated by the Toshiba HG2 controller during sustained write operations. Fit and finish was excellent and the drive per...

  • USB 3.0, no moving parts, better performance than a typical external pocket drive

  • The Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 SSD is suitable for anyone who wants a durable drive that can be used to transport data to and from work or to a client's premises. It's not blazingly fast, but it's faster than conventional pocket-sized drives. However, with a...
