The HyperX 3K competed well in the tests used for this review. Transfers were high, up to 546 MB/s in reads and 521 MB/s writes in ATTO Disk Benchmark. The maximum IOPS I experienced with the HyperX 3K in IOMeter 2008.6.18 were 81,172 in reads and ~60,0...
Stylish HyperX appearance, Lightning fast speeds, TRIM Support, Three year warranty
3k P/E Cycles instead of the 5k P/E Cycles found on the earlier HyperX SSD
With the HyperX 3K Kingston continues its trend in producing reliable, fast solid-state drives. Coming in at a lower price point than the older version, the HyperX 3K provides lightning fast read/write speeds for the enthusiast, gamer or power user. I...

There’s no arguing that the HyperX 3K SSD is a worthy choice amung a market full of options. The 3K NAND and SandForce SF-2281 controller work together well providing a little more speed as well as added endurance. Granted, the question of endurance un...

As with the HyperX 5K drive we like the performance and compatibility that Kingston has here. Again we cannot stress enough that Kingston is still maintaining great customer service here. They parts included here are not cheap and the disk closing softwar...
Great Performance and Capacity at a reasonable price, Acronis True Image HD Migration Software Included, USB External Drive Bay for easy cloning, SATA 6.0Gbps Compatibility with SandForce SF-2281 Controller, 2.5'' to 3.5'' Bracket, Extra accessories included for easy upgrade
USB 2.0 Enclosure: USB 3.0 would have been nicer.
So far at Bjorn3D, we've reviewed multiple SSD's, but one does not simply review multiple SSD's without testing them in RAID. This is exactly what we've done today with the Kingston HyperX 240GB 3K SSDs, showing the performance potential users can ge...
Abstract: With OCZ intent on moving as much volume to its in-house Indilinx controllers as possible, SandForce (now LSI) needed to expand to additional partners. OCZ has strong control over the channel so SandForce needed to turn to multiple partners to divers...
Minimal performance impact with lower-grade NAND (faster in some cases), Offered as a lower cost alternative without replacing existing higher-endurance model, Very low response times in our new fixed I/O latency test
Slips behind slightly in our gaming trace
Kingston promised a less expensive SSD in the HyperX 3K, with the same performance as the original HyperX. They delivered on both counts, lowering the price threshold for enthusiast-grade SSD performance. Sure consumers give up write cycles, but few will...
