Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB SSD Review

ATTO & AS-SSD Benchmarks

ATTO v2.41

ATTO is one of the oldest drive benchmarks still being used today and is still very relevant in the SSD world. ATTO measures transfers across a specific volume length. It measures raw transfer rates for both reads and writes and places the data into graphs that can be very easily interpreted. The test was run with the default runs of 0.5kb through 8192kb transfer sizes with the total length being 256mb.

ATTO – Intel P67 Platform

Benchmark Results: For the ATTO benchmark, there was very little statistical difference between HyperX 3K drive and the original HyperX drive. Between the two of them, they own the best scores for the SATA III drive set.

AS-SSD (1.6.4237.30508) Benchmark – Intel P67 Platform

We have been running the AS-SSD Benchmark app for over some time now and found that it gives a broad result set. The programmer has worked very hard on this software and continues to make updates often so if you use it, show him some love and send him a donation. There are now three tests that are found within the tool and we’ll show the results from all of them.

Benchmark Results: Again, we see very little difference between the 3K and the original HyperX with the 3K roping the higher overall score of the two. Each are among the best in the SF-2281 population.

Benchmark Results: The usual relationship between compressibility of data and performance is exhibited here on the compression benchmark for a SandForce controlled drive.
