The Kingston HyperX Predator 480GB is the fastest SSD we've tested, but its performance in normal everyday tasks is disappointing compared to the incredible synthetic numbers. The drive seems to be more adept at sequential operations and anything involvin...
Abstract: While recently I've posted a number of Linux solid-state drive benchmarks from low-end SATA 3.0 SSDs being used in Linux test systems not frequently being stressed by disk/file-system workloads, here are some benchmark results using a higher-end M.2 SSD...

Seeking an SSD faster than SATA? This is the mid-2015 drive to get. It will work with almost any motherboard chipset, it's bootable, and it offers screaming performance. Read More…...
Abstract: The SSDs available in the market are becoming faster everyday, and the SATA-600 interface is becoming a performance-limiting factor. Because of this, newer high-end models are using the PCI Express interface. In this review, we will compare two high-end S...
Abstract: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. This is the unfortunate but temporary state of consumer SSDs that aren't the Intel 750 or Samsung SM951. Both of those drives offer cutting-edge performance, value (relative to peers), and the potential...

Abstract: There is a new breed of SSD on the market that can provide insanely fast transfer rates, and the Kingston HyperX Predator SHPM2280P2H/480G 480GB PCIe M.2 SSD is the first of these to land at Bigbruin.com. With read speeds exceeding 1400MB/s, and write spe...
All things considered we're impressed with Kingston's entry into the PCIe SSD market. The HyperX Predator doesn't hit every mark but successfully fills in enough boxes to make it worthy of consideration. Throughput performance comes out higher than wh...
Well is this really a Predator? After testing I can say without a doubt that when you compare it to all of the SATA drives on the market, including the new HyperX Savage, this is a much faster option. The Sequential testing was especially fast competi...

Abstract: It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price cu...
