Kingston HyperX Savage 240 GB

[W1zzard]

Kingston's new HyperX Savage 240 GB is built around a Phison controller using 19 nanometer flash chips. With a price of only $120 for the 240 GB version, it sits right on the magic $0.50-per-GB mark.

Seems like the manufacturers themselves won't leave any room for 3rd party companies, leaving the market ruled only by those who make the NAND and controllers (e.g crucial, samsung).

These seem like nice drives, but they are too expensive. a 1tb mushkin reactor is only $350, and a 512 is only $170. Performance of any modern drive is close enough you can't tell the difference, unless you have a pcie 3.0 x4 ssd, and even then it isn't guaranteed you'll notice

Id be cautious when it comes to Kingston SSDs. they were caught with their pants down supplying 'different' versions of the SSDs to retailers then the ones they had sent to reviewers to be reviewed - the reviewers obviously got the 'awesome' one while the consumers got the ones with shittier NAND chips.

True, they switched between synchronous and asynchronous, and the consumer got ripped off.
Nice review but it left me wondering why the Samsung 850 Pro and Evo were only represented on page 13 in the MySQL tests.
If the Samsung 840 is 10% better then it stands to reason the 850 would improve upon that even further.

Great synthetic, and rather poor everyday use performance.
