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...
According to our tests, the Samsung SM951 (NVMe) is the fastest SSD available. It is even faster than the 950 Pro, while it is a lot cheaper as well. Bear in mind that you miss out on official Samsung support in the form of warranty, Magician and firmware...

On one hand it almost seems unfair to review a product that's been on the market for some time, on the other you need to consider, firstly it's still on sale and more so it's still Kingston top tiered SSD for the consumer. Looking at a product with some a...
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

Abstract: Unless you're sporting really old hardware, an SSD is the best sure-fire way to boost the performance of your desktop or laptop computer. There is so much choice now it's difficult to know whether there is a significant difference between various SSDs a...
Affordable price point, Sought after performance, Reliable brand, Strong IOPs performance, HyperX branding
SandForce controller does result in low performance when handling incompressible data,
PricingAs highlighted right back at the start of this review, the price point of this drive is the whole reasoning behind the 3K line of HyperX SSDs. The 240GB SKU of the now popular drives can be had for around £168 or ~70p/GB whilst the 120GB and 480GB...
The Kingston HyperX 3K SSD is a very good drive, not the best on the market or the cheapest but it performs exceptionally well, we could find no array of tasks to load the drive down with that slowed it enough to give a perceptible degradation in perf...
