Kingston's SandForce-based HyperX SSDs Set Sail for Retail
Andy Samberg, Kiv Schaffer, and T-Pain aren't the only ones who got to ride on a boat. Kingston Technology's HyperX solid state drives set sail for U.S. shores and are now shipping starting at $270, the memory maker announced today.
These SandForce-based drives are Kingston's first SATA 6Gbps SSDs. They're available in 120GB and 240GB capacities and offer sequential read and writes speeds of up to 555MB/s and 510MB/s , respectively. Kingston's shipping them as standalone drives with a HyperX branded 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch desktop mounting plate included, or as part of a HyperX Upgrade Kit that also tosses in Acronis True Image HD migration software, external drive bay, multi-head screwdriver, and SATA data cable.
The 120GB HyperX SSD sells for $270 (standalone) and $285 (bundle), while the 240GB goes for $520 (standalone) and $540 (bundle). Kingston initially sent out incorrect pricing information, so if you happen to run across conflicting numbers elsewhere on the Web, rest assured these are the right ones.

Are you sure about standalone versus bundle pricing? I'm not quite sure the bundled items are worth a ~$250 premium on the120GB. I'm guessing it was supposed to be (size/standalone/bundle) 120GB / $270 / $285 and 240GB / $520 / $540. Can't wait to see a benchmark on these comparing them to OCZ's 3rd gen SSD series. |

Correct -- $270/$285 for the 120GB (standalone/bundle) and $520/$540 for the 240GB. |

Kingston Has Great Products I Wish They Would Hook Me Up With The 120GB HyperX SSD :) |
