Kingston Hyper X 240GB SSD Review

AIDA64

Pull those belts up tight, we’re about to go into warp-drive. Whilst we’re some way off of the absolute maximum speeds claimed (although we can hit those as you’ll see in a couple of pages), AIDA64 is a more realistic test of how a drive will read those big old files. The answer, in case the graph doesn’t make it clear, is “very quickly indeed”. Stunning stuff.

PC Mark Vantage

Away from the synthetic speeds we get from linear read and write tests, and into the real world of varying data chunks being written at varying times, PC Mark Vantage shows what a quantum leap forwards the Hyper X drive is when compared to two pretty quick setups. Only in the Media Center test does either the SSD Now V+ or Velociraptor RAID options get remotely close to the titan that is the Hyper X.
