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-...

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...
Kingston’s HyperX Savage is an interesting SSD that endeavors to provide a cost-friendly high performance storage solution alongside something other companies have struggled to achieve: long term performance endurance. In many ways it succeeds in doing ex...
Kingston no longer manufactures their old HyperX 3K SSDs however is the new HyperX Savage a worthy successor that once reigned supreme years ago?It seems so. It is a solid SSD that yielded solid results. The HyperX Savage SSD that deviates from the previo...
