In today's market, there are a lot of high-performance USB 3.0 drives claiming to be the fastest or claiming to deliver the best performance in some obscure category. In many cases there have been USB 3.0 drives that simply were the fastest that we had seen and we available for a pretty reasonable price, like the Corsair Flash Voyager GT USB 3.0 drive we recently reviewed. Today, though, we're going to explore the realm of the much less reasonable. The realm of the awesome and ridiculous, that is, the realm of the HyperX. HyperX has always been Kingston's performance brand and has generally been known to offer some of the fastest products that Kingston and in many cases the world has to offer. They make HyperX RAM and HyperX SSDs and now, they make HyperX USB drives. Now, the real question that we have to ask ourselves for this review is whether or not this USB drive is really worthy of the HyperX name especially when we know that Kingston already has some 'high performance' USB 3.0 drives available. The Kingston HyperX DataTraveler 64GB USB 3.0 drive is a pretty simple USB drive coming with the obvious 64GB of storage space with paper speed specifications of 225 MB/s read and 135 MB/s writes with USB 2.0 speeds of 30 MB/s on both reads and writes since that is essentially the max one can expect out of USB 2.0 ports. In addition to that, Kingston backs this drive with their standard 5 year warranty and sells it for a retail price of $149. Due to Holiday madness, this product is currently selling on Newegg for $109.99 with a mail in rebate.
