HyperX Savage 240GB SSD Review

IOMeter Mixed Performance

Our mixed performance test is conducted in the same manner as our sequential tests, but once the drive is conditioned we run our test profile to look at performance in various read/write states. We start the test with 100% reads and then add write data into the mix in 10% increments until we end up with no reads at all in the workload.

The HyperX Savage 240GB drive did well in this test and hit a low of 241 MB/s on the 60% write and 40% read operations in our mixed workload test. The performance difference between the HyperX Predator PCIe and HyperX Savage SATA SSDs is pretty dramatic.

When looking at 4KB Random mixed workload performance HyperX Savage starts does really well at 100% read/write loads, but dips down pretty good when you start mixing it up. The HyperX Savage hit a low of 71 MB/s on the 50% read/write test scenario, but keep in mind the low 4K Random write performance we talked about on the previous page.

Let’s take a look at power and wrap this up!
