HyperX Savage 512GB

Advantages: Design, it was made under the design of the X-people, which I really liked.
The speed is just insane for a flash drive, I bought 128 GB. 350 mb. on reading and 250 mb. on the record
Pleasant to the touch

Disadvantages: Not yet revealed since he bought not long ago

Comment: I was pleasantly surprised by the speed performance of this flash drive, at first I thought, as always, the developers overestimate the figures from reality.

I’ll say right away, if you want to achieve maximum results in writing speed, then ssd drive will help to pump this flash drive rather than the usual hard drive.

When I copied data to a USB flash drive from a regular hard drive, the recording was copied to the maximum possible return of my hard drive, which is about 120 MB, but when I copied the same data from the ssd drive to the USB flash drive, the speed immediately increased to the recording ceiling of the flash drive itself for about 235 mb maximum of 245 mb., which is slightly different from the stated characteristics, but this error is not critical for me.

ps It all depends on the files themselves being copied, if you copy many small files in size, the write speed can range from 20 to 90 mb. + -, but if you copy large files such as movies, images of games, then the speed increases significantly.

A flash drive is worth its money, of course you can buy the same amount of 2 / 2.5 times cheaper, here let everyone decide for himself that volume or quality and maximum performance are important for him, in any case you will not be disappointed about the money spent, if you decide to purchase This model, I advise everyone.

Advantages: Speed, reliability, body

Disadvantages: Everything dies when

Comment: Has served 3 years of very active use, according to my statistics, a good result.

Advantages: speed, design, build, maybe even the price?

Disadvantages: write small files. but mk download in 1080p / 25 mb / s movies for me is not very relevant problem

Comment: took on 64gb

Advantages: I draw your attention that the younger model (64Gb) has a lower write speed,
than the older ones:
64GB: 350 MB / s (read), 180 MB / s (write)
128GB – 512GB: 350 MB / s (read), 250 MB / s (write)

I got the following results under Mac OS Sierra (the flash drive is formatted in Mac format Os Extended (journaling), GUID partition scheme).
Writing / reading a 16 Gb file just on a low-end Savage 64 gb model:
USB 3.1 connector - 189/397
USB 3.0 connector - 188/401
USB 2.0 connector - 39/41

I assume that on Windows, the speed will be approximately the same order.

Excellent quality of materials and assembly, weighty.

P.S. Testing speed was carried out in the program AJA System Test Lite.

Disadvantages: I expected that the speed of work in USB 3.1 will be more.
I went to smoke manual by usb standards.

Comment: Great flash drive for your money.
In addition to Savage 64Gb I use several Kingston DataTraveler flash drives
HyperX 3.0. Also excellent flash drives, for 3-5 years of work, none has failed and failed. I hope this will be the same.

Advantages: Kingston HyperX USB 3.1 - the best flash drive at the end of 2016.

Disadvantages: The speed in Linux resembles USB 2.0, on Windows it is much faster - see the comment - a 128 GB flash drive was used.

Comment: The file with the WMV video of 2.8 GB in Windows registered on the USB flash drive in seconds. But in Linux, Fedora 21 (kernel version 3.17) recording from the SSD lasted 2 minutes 28 seconds (19.3 MB per second), reading is already better - only 15 seconds (191.1 MB per second).At the same time, the formatting of the flash drive was not carried out, as it was done at the factory - FAT32 - it was so. It seems that the driver was installed directly from the USB flash drive on Windows, so the speeds are normal, and no driver was installed on Linux. For comparison, another USB 3.0 flash drive - Verico 128 GB - in the same Linux works much faster, but Verico has not been sold for a long time. All tests were conducted on USB 3.0 and using a high-speed SSD on Fedor 21 x64 and on Windows 7 SP1 x64.
***
And now, attention, read what has changed after formatting in ExFAT (the standard size of the Klaister):
The recording of a 5.62 GB file from a fast SSD disk to this USB flash drive was investigated.
In Windows, it was copied in 48 seconds (the conductor showed a few seconds faster, but I waited until the blue light stopped blinking).
Linux had to install additional packages for this file system. After that, the system was rebooted. The file was copied in 2 minutes and 45 seconds (the dolphin showed a faster time for about half a minute, but I waited until the blue light stopped blinking).
Summary:
Windows = 119.89 MB / s
Linux = 34.88 MB / s
Heating in Windows = 50 ° C
Heating in Linux = 40 ° C

Advantages: Large file transfer rate

Disadvantages: File transfer speed is about 0-5 kilobytes

Comment: The fact that small files (sources) will be slowly copied, I assumed, but did not expect that so. 1GB for one and a half to two hours is easily stretched. Tried to put all sorts of cluster sizes - did not help.
Well, for images of disks and films - the most it. To this is enough - I recommend.

Advantages: Read below.

Disadvantages: I read reviews of some deer, about the low speed of writing small files. I'm x * it. What are you, seriously or who paid you. You bought a flash drive for 256, for 512 gigs for recording small files and from the company (Kingston's HyperX subsidiary), which produces gaming headphones and then released a gaming flash drive for gamers. And you can not buy for small files 16 gigovuyu flash? Just dumb and dumber ...

Comment: It is necessary to introduce punitive psychiatry and pump out Dibiloids from people. Have not heard about this, the increase every day ...

Advantages: 1. Speed. After the purchase I immediately formatted it in NTFS and tried to upload the film in MKV for 18 gigs. Write speed ~ 210 MB / sec. Nuance - on my laptop SSD. For comparison, the recording on the external screw from WD is 110 Mb / s, on the Kingston date traveler flash drive about 11 Mb / sec.
2. Design. The letter X is made of metal, the case itself is made of plastic with a rubberized surface, it does not fall out of the hands, there is a micro cord in the kit
3. Five year warranty, c / c is at least in St. Petersburg where I live

Disadvantages: 1. Weight (here it is arguable that someone likes heavy, someone does not)
2. IDIOT BRIGHT VIRTUAL INDICATION !!!
The diode is really very bright, I had to stick it up so that at night the films could be quietly watched on TV.

Comment: Space speed for a flash drive for 2750rub (my 64 gigabytes). He doubted what to take - this is an order for two days in a techno-point and more expensive, or ADATA with similar parameters (recording 100 MB / s), but in stock and 500 re cheaper. Chuika suggested that we should take Kingston and I did not lose. I took a flash drive for Dune Connect, buffering and rewinding even blue 35 gigabytes super. Now I will take the same, but for 256 or 512, this is the best flash drive that I had, in my opinion price / quality + speed is the best ratio, although for big money there are probably better ones, for example, gilded from Arab sheikhs or from labor agents from the pentagon.

Advantages: Modern design. Very pleasant tactile sensations, except for red plastic, everything else is soft, does not slip out of my hands. There is an indicator of the flash drive, it burns in a pleasant blue color. There is a convenient ring for carrying, hung with keys and forgotten until the necessary moment.
Most importantly. The speed of work on my computer is close to the declared one, which is very good! The test was carried out with the program CrystalDiskMark 5.1.2 x 64:
write a small file: read 243.1 MB / s, write 116.1 MB / s.
Write 32 Gb file: read 340.8 MB / s, write 171.7 MB / s.

Disadvantages: Not.

Comment: The flash drive was very pleased, both externally and with its fast work. Immediately after the purchase, I connected the flash drive to my Samsung Note4 via an OTG cable, I decided right away, I transferred a 3GB movie from my phone, it took, I think no more than 2.5 minutes.
The computer also identified the flash drive without problems.
I definitely recommend to buy!

Advantages: 1. Volume in 512gig !!!
2. Physical dimensions - a very small flash drive, for its volume.
3. Convenient - easily hung on the keys and easy to hold.
4. Nice design.
5. Good speeds when copying large files.
6. When copying almost does not heat up
7. Has a copy indicator

Disadvantages: 1. Slow recording of small files
