Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 128GB Drive Review

We use Futuremark’s PCMark Vantage in many of our system reviews and we felt that it was worth an inclusion in this review. It is still a synthetic suite, but it uses many real world characteristics to try and judge overall performance levels. We are using the 64 bit version of the HDD Suite for this testing. We also compare against a Samsung F1 1TB drive on this page.

A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security. From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.

This time we compared the Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 against a Samsung F1 1TB 7,200rpm Hard Disk Drive.

The Samsung HDD had a tough time competing with the SSD based HyperX Max 3.0, getting hammered in every test by huge margins. This is to be expected with flash memory and the capable Toshiba T6UG1XBG controller.
