Final Thoughts
Kingston is a brand we know that has a long history with flash drives. Their HyperX line is targeted at enthusiasts and gamers and the Savage USB 3.1 flash drive definitely fits in that category. It has some of the fastest transfer speeds we’ve seen from a flash drive! During some of our tests we even saw speeds above the 350 MB/s read and 250 MB/s write. This means your transfers are going to finish in just seconds.
With such fast transfer speeds you can transfer large files quite fast. As 4K content becomes more popular and file sizes get larger the HyperX Savage is the perfect device to transfer such files. It is designed for large files too as its comes in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB sizes. That is quite a lot of data that you can have in your pocket. Data which can be accessed by any device that has a USB connection, remember this drive is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.
The fit and finish of the drive is quite nice and the drive also has some good weight to it, which I like. The drive will be able to take a beating say if you had it on your keys or something like that. To give you peace of mind Kingston also backs this drive with a 5-year warranty.
The 128GB version of the drive is currently selling for around $90 online, which is a good price considering the speed and quality of the drive. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Kingston HyperX Savage 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive a 10 out of 10 score.
Pros:
– Some of the fastest transfer speeds we’ve seen
– Solid design
– Backed with a 5-year warranty
– Available in capacities up to 256GB
Cons:
