The 480GB HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe SSD is the fastest, commercially available to the public SSD we've ever seen. The 480GB HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe SSD is an out-of-the-park home run combined with an Olympic gold medal in the sprint. While obviously aimed...
Overall, the HyperX Predator is the fastest SSD we've come across to date. If this is just the beginning of what PCIe M.2 SSDs are going to bring PC enthusiasts, we're excited to see what the future holds. Any way you look at it, up to 1400 MB/s read an...
It is fairly clear that M.2 (formerly NGFF) SSDs that use the PCI Express interface is going to be the sweet spot for enthusiasts, gamers and power users. The SATA interface isn't going to go away, but SATA III has most certainly become a bottleneck issue...

The M.2 form factor is both adaptable and capable of delivering some mind-boggling speeds but up until this point, many drives which implemented it failed to live up to expectations. Granted, there were some exceptions but for the most part the so-called ...

Abstract: The first generation of native PCI-Express SSDs arrived on the market this year, albeit a little later than expected. At any rate, some of these SSDs seem to live up to the promise of providing a faster interface. We tested SSDs by Plextor, Kingston, Sa...
