Kingston HyperX FURY 240 GiB SSD Review

Conclusions

The new Kingston HyperX FURY 240 GiB SSD does exactly what it is proposed by the manufacturer: offers a slightly higher read performance than the other current value SSD from the manufacturer, being also price-positioned as a budget product. It performed a little better than the older model in all CrystalDiskMark read tests, and exactly the same way in all the write test with the same program.

One of the key aspects of both units is the difference in performance between the compressible and incompressible data tests; the drives performed better in write tests when using compressible data. This is because the Sandforce controller rely on data compression to achieve high speeds.

With a slightly higher price tag than its older brother (a difference that will probably disappear over time), the Kingston HyperX FURY 240 GiB SSD unit is a good deal for users looking for an inexpensive SSD.
