Kingston offers a wide variety of memory and storage products. They have grown to be the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products. With global headquarters in Fountain Valley, California, Kingston employs more than 4,000 people worldwide.

The SATA-based SSD market is so saturated with good drives that it's nearly impossible for a mediocre offering to earn a recommendation. When the product's price is as high as Kingston's HyperX Savage (240GB for $150), it had better be impeccable or risk falling below Samsung's 850 Pro (256GB for...

A return to the premium accessory package; Looks good with HyperX Savage RAM

Price; Real World Performance (what really matters)

SSDs was once considered a luxury and unnecessary a few years back due to its high price that not many could afford even for the smaller capacity 60GB or 64GB variant. As competition arises, price of SSD has become much more affordable and the once dreamed 120GB / 128GB SSD would probably cost you...

Comes with 3 year warranty; Decent build quality; Decent performance; Good aesthetic aspects; Awesome bundled upgrade kit

A little costly

After the controllers have cooled, I think it's perfectly safe to say that Kingston really did their homework with the HyperX Savage SSD, earning it an "A" in terms of performance and quality.

Enthusiast level performance; Gorgeous red enthusiast design; 240GB and 480GB relatively affordable

Kingston's HyperX Savage SSD is the drive for you if want what very well could be the best SATA3-based consumer drive available. Impressive Performance and a great bundle.

We were not really expecting this level of performance or quality from the Kingston HyperX Savage. Not that we expected a lacklustre performance or maybe even mildly exciting, we just never expected to be so wow'd.

Now that we have seen the inside and outside of the Savage and put it through our benchmark suite lets take a step back and see what we have when it is all said and done. As far as the performance is concerned in most situations the Savage pulled ahead of the other drives using the same Phison...

It is extremely well built and does everfything it says it can do. I'm using it as main drive with my PC, in my case Im using with Flight Simulator Prepar3D, and several additions that occupy 375 GB.

Bought the 480Gb version, at the time it was the best value (￡128) performance SSD and it had a 3 year warranty. Installed into my wife's acer aspire S3 i7 ultrabook along with a fresh copy of windows10. Finally got the 'zip' expected from the Acer and a happy Mrs.
