Surely, the HyperX Savage Exo isn't the most-budget friendly drive that you will come across. Those looking for external PS4/PS5 storage can grab an external HDD with much higher storage capacity for roughly $80 (Seagate 2TB Game Drive PS4), but in genera...

HyperX's Savage EXO external SSD looks slick, and it's both easy to carry and easy on your wallet. It's equally useful for PC backups and console-game supplemental storage...

The Savage EXO may be the very first portable drive by HyperX but at the same time it's also the fastest external drive currently by Kingston and that says a lot. Of course our charts place the Bolt B80 by Silicon Power in the lead and althou...
The HyperX Savage EXO Portable SSD features USB-C connectivity, 3D NAND technology, an uber-compact design and is suitable for a range of different applications. That said, it is somewhat an underwhelming addition to the external SSD market as it didn't r...

One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to portable storage is “what drive should I get?” which is a valid question with a number of answers. Flash drives are everywhere and their size and price really appeal to the modern consumer. However, as o...

Write speed is lacking
The HyperX SAVAGE EXO portable SSD offers fantastic read speeds, making it a great choice as an external drive for console gaming. However, its write speeds are somewhat lacking if you plan on using this drive for other activities than gaming.*We were sen...

HyperX's Savage Exo performed well in all of our read tests. On the other hand, it suffered from some pretty severe writer's block. We don't expect it to make waves when it hits our rankings. We distill the overall performance rating using an older SATA...
The HyperX Savage EXO is certainly one of the best looking portable SSDs on the market today. With bold angular lines, the gray and black enclosure is certainly appealing. When you look beyond the beauty of the drive and look at performance you start to s...

Slow sustained writes
A fancy name and svelte design can't make up for this drive's slow sustained writes. If you regularly write more than a few gigabytes to your external drive, then (pricing being relatively equal) opt for a faster drive such as Samsung's T5 or the Sandisk...
