Kingston Releases HyperX 3K Solid-State Drive Series
Kingston today announced the HyperX 3K SSD, a high-performance, lower priced solid-state drive enabling users to have a great user experience without breaking the bank. The drive uses the second-generation SandForce SF-2281 processor along with 3K Sync NAND (3k P/E Cycles) and runs on the SATA III (6Gb/s) interface. The HyperX 3K SSD comes in a black and aluminum enclosure, which looks different than the flagship HyperX SSD that has a blue enclosure.
The HyperX 3K series of drives is available in capacities of 90GB, 120GB, 240GB, and 480GB capacities and costs $139.99, $169.99, $319.99 and $699.99, respectively. It has sequential read/write throughputs of up to 555/510MB/s and max random R/W IOPS of 85k/74k on the 90GB drive and the performance slowly drops as you increase the drives capacity. For example the 480GB drive is rated up to up to 540/450MB/s and max random R/W IOPS of 75k/48k.
Kingston is devoted to offering the best upgrade solution for every market segment. The new Kingston HyperX 3K SSD is specifically designed to meet the needs of budget-minded gamers, PC enthusiasts and A/V professionals looking for powerful upgrades. said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager, Kingston. We are thrilled to offer an SSD that combines HyperX performance and Kingston quality at a lower price.
