Test: Kingston HyperX Savage SSD

Konklusion

Kingston er stadig med helt fremme når det gælder om at lave solide højtydende SSD'er. HyperX Savage bruger en ny type controller, Phison S10, og det lader til at give pote når den kombineres med Toshibas A19 flashram. Faktisk så lammetæver HyperX modellen i flere tests OCZ's bedste - OCZ ejes af netop Toshiba. Kingston lover os læse og skrivehastigheder på 530/560 MB/s, og vores målinger viser ikke tendens til slinger. IOPS tallene er også i den rigtig høje ende, så her er ydelse for alle pengene som det skal være med et HyperX produkt.


Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Phison S10 controlleren er ny for os, men det første møde efterlader et absolut positivt indtryk. Sammen med Toshibas A19 flashram har Kingston kombineret sig frem til en vinder.

Ydelse - 5
Vi bliver lovet 530/560 MB/s i læse- og skrivehastigheder, og det løfte holder HyperX Savage i vores test. IOPS tallene er også i den rigtig høje ende, så samlet set fortjener Kingstons lille ny et 5 tal.

Pris - 2
Prismæssigt befinder HyperX Savage sig en lille 100-krone over eksempelvis Samsung 850 EVO, der ikke står tilbage for HyperX drevet. Desuden får du hos de fleste andre tilsvarende produkter 5 års garanti mod Savage's 3 år. Her må Kingston gerne komme ud af hullet og få opgraderet deres tilbud.

UK summary

Kingston still manage to be on the frontline when it comes to manufacturing solid high performance SSD's. HyperX Savge uses a new type of controller, a Phison S10, and combined with Toshiba A19 flash memory this seems to have paid off in terms of real life performance. In fact the Savage SSD gets higher benchmark scores than the OCZ drives - mind you OCZ is owned by Toshiba. Kingston promises read/write speeds of 530/560 MB/s, and our measurements show no signs of weakness. The IOPS figures are high end as well, meaning the Savage is all about high performance, hence the HyperX name.

Innovation/Technology - 5
The Phison S10 controller is new to us, but the first impression is very positive. Adding Toshiba A19 flashmemory, Kingston has combined the ingredients for a winner. 

Performance - 5
Kingston promise 530/560 MB/s read/write speeds and keep the promise. The IOPS numbers are also high-end, thus the HyperX Savage deserve 5 points.

Price - 2
In DK shops HyperX Savage cost some 100 DKK more than ie. Samsung 850 EVO, which does not fall behind the latter in terms of performance. On top of that, most other manufacturers give 5 year warranty on their products. The Savage comes with a 3 year warranty. Time for Kingston to upgrade on customer service.
