Kingston Digital has launched Hyper MAX 3.0 External USB 3.0 Drive. Shipping in December, the SuperSpeed USB certified HyperX MAX 3.0 drive is a fast and durable external USB 3.0 storage drive. SuperSpeed USB is the specification delivering USB 3.0 transfer speed up to ten times faster than USB 2.0.
Kingston's HyperX MAX 3.0 has a read speed of up to 195MB/sec. and a write speed of up to 160MB/sec., when paired with a USB 3.0 compatible device. It is also fully compatible with USB 2.0 devices, as the speed defaults back to USB 2.0 capability. During internal testing, a 10GB movie file was transferred in only 1 minute, 12 seconds to the HyperX MAX 3.0 from a USB 3.0 system. The transfer time increased to 5 minutes, 52 seconds using a USB 2.0 port with the same test bed.
"The HyperX MAX 3.0 External USB 3.0 Drive follows the tradition of Kingston's HyperX enthusiast DRAM family providing users with premium quality and extreme performance," said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. "In addition to portability and speed, users will be pleased with the durability of this drive. Its Flash memory-based architecture is designed for the rigours of mobile use."
HyperX MAX 3.0 is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities and is sold through Kingston's authorized channel of distributors and resellers. It comes with a three-year warranty and is backed by Kingston's legendary free technical service and support.
