SSD Kingston HyperX 3K Review

The opulence of solid-state drives in PC market promotes for a sufficient supply to all potential customers. Irrespective of the rich choice, some products prove to be inefficient in coping with certain tasks. Durability and fool-proof work are one of the major SSD identifying features that worry the targeted users. It should be underlined that with the development of ever newer technologies ascribed to the design of micro chips, SSDs increased their work immensely. Kingston HyperX 3K is a product with outstanding parameters and prolonged life. It is estimated for three thousand cycles of cell rewriting and predestined for mid-market sector.

Specifications

SSD Kingston HyperX 3K goes in several capacity variants: 90GB, 120GB, 240GB, and 480GB. All the drives are developed in 2.5 inch form-factor and employ SATA 6 Gb/sec interface. Other specifications of the model line include:
— memory chips: memory type – MLC (synchronous), interface – ONFi2, technological process – 25 nm;
— employed controller: SandForce SF-2281;
— power consumption: 0.46W in standby mode, 1.58W in Read mode, 2.11W in Write mode;
— shock resistance: 1500 G;
— fool-proof operation: approximately 1 million hours;
— limited warranty: 3 years.

Framework and Speed

HyperX 3K casing is made of metallic alloy and is characterized by the improved durability. Metallic cover has got black plastic stripes; the junction of casing parts is accomplished by means of screws which prevent the penetration into the interior side.

Speed showings differ a bit from model to model:
1. Kingston HyperX 3K 90 GB is able to achieve the maximal consecutive reading speed of 555 Mb/sec, consecutive writing speed of 510 Mb/sec; the maximal random reading speed (4KB) equals to 85000 IOPS, and random writing speed (4KB) – 74000 IOPS.

2. Kingston HyperX 3K 120 GB is able to reach the maximal consecutive reading speed of 555 Mb/sec, consecutive writing speed of 510 Mb/sec; the maximal random reading speed (4KB) approximates 85000 IOPS, and random writing speed (4KB) – 73000 IOPS.

3. Kingston HyperX 3K 240 GB achieves the maximal consecutive reading speed of 555 Mb/sec, consecutive writing speed of 510 Mb/sec; the maximal random reading speed (4KB) fluctuates within the measures of 86000 IOPS, and random writing speed (4KB) – of 60000 IOPS.

4. Kingston HyperX 3K 480 GB is capable to reach the maximal consecutive reading speed of 540 Mb/sec, consecutive writing speed of 450 Mb/sec; the maximal random reading speed (4KB) approximates 75000 IOPS, and random writing speed (4KB) – 48000 IOPS.

Cell Cleanup

Testing results demonstrated that SSDs HyperX 3K are capable to instantly react on TRIM instruction, cleaning up cells quickly and efficiently. Nevertheless, once the drive is full of random data, its operation is slowing down, as compared with drives based on Marvell chip. This basically touches upon random writing speed, while consecutive writing speed keeps permanent.
