HyperX Savage is powered by the Phison S10 quad-core, eight-channel controller and promises to deliver high read/write speeds for both compressible and incompressible data, as well as high IOPS.
HyperX Savage is the fastest SATA-based SSD in the HyperX family and replaces the company's HyperX 3K SSD. It supports sequential speeds of up to 560MB/s read and 530MB/s write, and IOPS of up to 100,000 read and 89,000 write. It features a red steel and aluminum case with a low profile to fit most notebooks, desktops and small-form factor PC builds.
HyperX Savage is available in 120GB ($84), 240GB ($140), 480GB ($280) and 960GB ($570) capacities. It is sold as a stand-alone SSD or with an upgrade bundle kit that includes a 2.5" USB 3.0 enclosure, 3.5" bracket and mounting screws, SATA data cable, hard drive cloning software, multi-bit screwdriver and a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter.
